The Problem
A homeowner in Wallagoot got in touch about ongoing drainage issues on their property. When we had a look, we found a section of the pipework had deteriorated and needed relining, and the stormwater drain had failed completely and needed replacing.
Rather than digging up large sections of the property, we combined trenchless pipe relining with targeted stormwater drain replacement to sort the problem with minimal disruption.
What the Homeowner Noticed
The homeowner had been dealing with drainage problems for a while:
- Slow drainage at multiple points across the property.
- Occasional gurgling sounds from drains after rainfall or heavy water use.
- Soggy patches appearing in the garden without an obvious source.
- A recurring blockage in the stormwater line that had previously been cleared but kept coming back.
Left alone, stormwater problems like this can damage landscaping, footings and nearby structures over time. The homeowner wanted it fixed properly, not cleared every few months again.
If your Wallagoot property’s got drainage issues, get in touch and we’ll arrange a full CCTV camera inspection.
What We Checked
Before recommending anything, we carried out a detailed inspection:
- Ran a CCTV drain camera inspection to work out the extent and location of the damage.
- Checked the stormwater drainage paths across the property for blockages and structural faults.
- Assessed the pipe condition to work out which sections could be relined and which needed replacing.
- Confirmed the stormwater drain had deteriorated beyond repair.
- Inspected joints and connections for root intrusion or separation.
- Reviewed access points to plan the least disruptive way to do the repair.
A section of the pipework had cracked and degraded internally, which was restricting the flow. The stormwater drain had failed structurally too, badly enough that it needed full replacement rather than relining.
The Result
The Wallagoot property now has a fully restored drainage and stormwater system.
- The relined section now works as a new, joint-free pipe inside the old one, and it’s structurally sound.
- The failed drain has been fully replaced with compliant pipework, correctly graded and connected.
- The underlying cause of the repeated blockages is gone.
- The trenchless relining needed no digging, and we fully reinstated the area we did excavate once the replacement was done.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer pipe relining services in Wallagoot and nearby areas?
Yes. We handle pipe relining and stormwater drainage across the Bega Valley, including Wallagoot, Merimbula, Pambula and surrounding rural and coastal areas.
What is pipe relining and how does it work?
Pipe relining is a trenchless repair method. We insert a resin-impregnated liner into the damaged pipe and cure it in place, which creates a new pipe within the existing one and restores the flow, without any digging.
When is relining suitable instead of full pipe replacement?
Relining works well when the pipe structure’s still mostly intact, just cracked, slightly collapsed, or affected by root intrusion. If it’s failed completely, shifted, or needs repositioning, replacement is usually the better long-term call. Some jobs need both.
How long does a relined pipe last?
Good quality relining, using epoxy resin or cured-in-place lining, is built to last 50 years or more when it’s installed properly.
Will stormwater drain replacement damage my garden in Wallagoot?
We keep excavation to a minimum wherever we can, and reinstate any disturbed areas once the work’s done. We’re careful to limit how much digging we actually need to do.
