Utilising the latest technologies in pipe lining, we can solve any problem you have with your sewerage, stormwater or drainage systems. Using one of the most versatile repair systems in the world, we can repair any type of pipe in diameters from 40 to 1000mm. Stormwater, sewerage potable water pipes under tons of concrete, driveways or floors presents no problem for Blueline.
How do you know if you have a blocked drain or pipe?
- When the toilet is flushed the waste will not discharge or may fill up then recede slowly
- Drainage may overflow outside
- Bad odours
- Water fills up and recedes slowly in hand basin or shower
What causes my drains to become blocked?
- Deteriorated physical condition
- The flushing of foreign items such as plastic bags, kids toys or disposable nappies
- Excessive disposal of cooking fats and oils, along with other domestic products
- Tree roots entering a broken drain can also be a problem
- Ground movement
How do I know for sure what is causing the blockage?
- The only way to know for sure is to look. Our CCTV inspection and survey will jet clean your pipes, removing any blockages and enabling a clear view and assessment of the section that is blocked. Using a camera that can be placed inside your pipes, our technicians can visually locate and assess any damage/blockages to your system.
- If there is no structural damage, relining would not be applicable and with the blockage freed the job and problem would be complete. If structural damage was the cause of the blockage, relining would be a suitable resolution.
How does the Blueline system work?
- Before any relining takes place, the drains must first be inspected and surveyed. We use a pipe camera to identify and locate the cause of the problem. The drain is then cleared using a high pressure water jet, once the blockage is cleared the pipe is then ready to be Bluelined.
- Our liner is custom made from a sleve that is wet-out with a resin that sets hard, becoming a structural repair, in a matter of hours allowing minimal disruption and inconvenience.
- Once the liner is tailor made and prepared, it is inserted in to your drain via any opening in the drain. It is positioned in place with a camera and using a bladder is inflated, forcing the liner to take the shape of the pipe filling voids or cracks and lining over any damaged section. After a curing period, the internal bladder of the liner is removed, completing the process and making the drain ready for use immediately.

Using the latest in lining for potable water pipes, Redline is a simple and highly effective solution that will completely coat the inside of your water pipes preventing leaks and pipe corrosion. Unlike conventional repair options this process can be managed to ensure minimum disruption to you home. You will never have to worry about poor water pressure or contaminants again.
How do you know if your pipes are corroded?
- Water may discoloured
- Water pressure may be poor
- Water may have a odd taste to it
How does the Redline system work?
- We begin by creating a map of the internal piping system and developing a plan to minimize disruption. The piping system is inspected for integrity and spot repairs are made to worn areas. Temporary water piping may be installed. The system to be repaired is then drained and air-dried. After pressure testing for leaks, the pipes are prepared for cleaning.
- Pipes are dried with heated air and blasted with garnet to remove rust and corrosion. These particles are collected in a holding unit for later disposal.
- Air is applied once again to remove fine particles leaving a pipe that has opened back to full working diameter, is clean and ready to Redline.
- Another air pressure leak test is performed and high pressure air forces the epoxy through the pipe ensuring that the pipe system is evenly coated.
- Following the coating application, air flows through the piping to facilitate curing.
Once Redline cures, valves are refitted. A final leak test and inspection confirms lining integrity. Water quality, volume, and flow tests confirm system functionality.
What are the benefits?
- The epoxy was developed and patented by the U.S. Navy and has been successfully used by Nuflow technicians since the mid-1980s for the U.S. government and in domestic, commercial, industrial, and other applications. Testing engineers estimate the life expectancy of the epoxy is roughly 100 years. We have successfully Redlined a number of systems, view examples of work we have done.
- Pipe lining is approximately 50% cheaper than traditional pipe replacement costs such as re-piping. Lining is a non-invasive process, so there is no destruction to buildings or landscapes.
- Redlining takes a fraction of the time of traditional re-pipe methods. For example, a re-piping job that would normally take a full 6 to 8 weeks can take as little as 4 days for us to complete.
- Redline is quick, quiet, non-invasive, and you don’t need to move out of your home. When needed, temporary water systems are quickly installed to provide uninterrupted water service.
