We fix damaged sewer pipes using trenchless relining—quick, clean, and built to last. Servicing Wollongong, Shoalhaven, Illawarra & Sutherland Shire.
Trenchless pipe repair is exactly what it sounds like—a way to fix your underground pipes without digging up your yard, driveway, or patio. Instead of traditional excavation, trenchless methods use advanced technology to repair or replace pipes from the inside out. Whether it’s sewer or stormwater lines, this modern approach is clean, fast, and reliable.
Curran has been at the forefront of trenchless technology for over 30 years, helping homeowners and businesses across Wollongong, Shoalhaven, Illawarra, and the Sutherland Shire. The methods have been trusted worldwide for decades, and we’ve tailored our service with Australian conditions—and local customers—in mind. If you want a long-term solution without the mess, this is the way to go.
If you’re dealing with recurring drain blockages, tree root intrusion, bad smells, or soggy spots in your garden, it could be time to take a closer look underground. These signs often point to damaged or aging pipes—and trenchless repair may be the fix. It’s especially useful for pipes under concrete, landscaping, or established trees where digging would cause serious disruption.
Trenchless pipe repair is also effective for root-damaged pipes, corroded lines, and even some partially collapsed sections. We use high-resolution CCTV cameras to assess the condition and determine if trenchless repair is possible. Both sewer and stormwater pipes can usually be repaired this way, saving you the cost and chaos of excavation.
There are two main trenchless techniques we use at Curran: pipe relining and pipe bursting. Pipe relining involves inserting a flexible, resin-coated liner into the existing pipe. Once inflated and cured in place, it creates a new pipe inside the old one—strong, watertight, and smooth. It’s perfect for pipes with cracks, leaks, or root intrusion.
Pipe bursting, on the other hand, is used when a pipe is too damaged for relining. We insert a bursting head to break apart the old pipe while simultaneously pulling a brand-new pipe into its place. Both methods minimise digging—usually just a small access point is needed. Most jobs are completed in a day or two, with minimal mess and disruption.
The cost of trenchless pipe repair in Australia depends on several factors—pipe length, depth, material, access, and the extent of the damage. On average, it’s often more cost-effective than traditional replacement once you factor in the savings on excavation, landscaping, and time.
At Curran, we provide fixed upfront pricing, so you know exactly what you’re paying before we begin. Many insurance policies now recognise trenchless repairs as valid claims, especially when structural damage is involved. And with our interest-free payment plans, you can spread the cost without stress. It’s a smart investment for peace of mind and long-term performance.
Trenchless pipe repair offers a host of benefits: no digging, fast turnaround, reduced labour costs, and protection for your landscape or concrete structures. The repaired pipes are jointless, smooth, and highly resistant to root intrusion and corrosion. Plus, the process is environmentally friendly—less waste, less machinery, and fewer emissions than excavation.
That said, not every pipe can be repaired this way. If a section is fully collapsed or improperly graded, full replacement might be necessary. But don’t worry—our team will walk you through your options based on what we see with our CCTV inspection. And yes, trenchless methods are fantastic for hard-to-access areas and even heritage homes where preserving the surroundings is key.
A professionally installed trenchless repair—especially pipe relining—can last over 50 years. At Curran, we back our work with a 25-year warranty and even offer an annual camera inspection to make sure everything stays in great shape. That’s the kind of aftercare you won’t find everywhere.
To keep your pipes flowing freely, we’ll give you clear maintenance advice tailored to your home. Avoid flushing wipes, pouring fat or grease down the sink, or planting invasive trees near your pipes. And if you’d rather not think about it again, join our preventative maintenance program—we’ll stay on top of things so you don’t have to.
