Drain relining, often called "cured-in-place pipe" (CIPP), involves creating a brand-new pipe inside your existing damaged one.
Much of Northcote was developed between the late 1800s and the mid-20th century. Many homes still rely on the original earthenware (clay) pipes installed decades ago. Over time, these pipes become brittle. Ground movement causes cracks, and joints shift, allowing tree roots to infiltrate. Relining effectively seals these cracks and gaps without the need to remove the heritage landscaping often found in these older yards.
For homeowners in Northcote, the combination of charming older architecture and the area's specific environmental conditions can create a perfect storm for drainage issues. From the Victorian-era terraces near High Street to the post-war weatherboard homes in the quieter pockets, many properties share a common vulnerability: aging underground pipes.
