ABA Plumbing & Gas – Adelaide’s No-Dig Pipe Repair Experts

A slow, silent leak underground might not seem like much until your water bill tells a different story. In Adelaide homes, hidden pipe damage is one of the most common (and frustrating) causes of high water usage. And if you’ve been noticing a spike in your bill without any change in your daily habits, your pipes might be the culprit.

The good news? You don’t always need to dig up your garden or bathroom tiles to fix the problem. Pipe relining offers a modern, no-dig solution that can stop the leaks, extend the life of your plumbing system, and keep your water bills steady.

So, What Exactly is Pipe Relining?

Pipe relining is a method of repairing damaged or leaking pipes from the inside. Instead of replacing the entire pipe, a new lining is inserted and bonded to the inside of the existing one, essentially creating a pipe within a pipe. No digging, no mess, and no long disruption to your home.

For Adelaide homeowners, this has been a game-changer. Not only does it fix problems fast, it prevents future ones.

Why it matters for your water bill

Even a hairline crack in a pipe can waste hundreds of litres of water a day. Because it’s not visible, it often goes undetected for weeks or months. Meanwhile, your water meter keeps ticking and you keep paying.

Relining seals those cracks for good. The new liner is watertight and strong enough to resist tree root intrusion, corrosion, and pressure. Once it’s in place, leaks stop instantly—and so does the unnecessary water waste.

It’s not just about fixing—it’s about preventing

Old clay, copper, or galvanized pipes are common in Adelaide homes, especially in older suburbs. Over time, these can wear out or crack under ground movement, temperature shifts, or tree roots.

So How Does It Work?

First, we take a proper look inside the pipe. No guessing. We carry out a drain camera inspection to see what is going on. Then we clear the blockage using high pressure water jets. Once that is done and we have a clean run, we put the lining into place.

We use air or water pressure to hold the liner against the pipe wall while it sets. After that, the pipe is good as new. And it will last for decades.

Pipe relining adds decades of life to your plumbing without needing full replacement. It’s not only cheaper in the long run but it saves you the surprise costs that come with emergency leaks, sudden bursts or continuous water wastage.

Can Every Pipe Be Relined?

Not always. Some pipes are too far gone. If a pipe is completely collapsed or misaligned, relining might not work. But we always check first and let you know what is possible. You get the full story up front.
