    The Crisis in High-Rise Buildings That Can Lead to Stack Relining in Sydney

    Sydney’s apartment buildings, from heritage-listed wool store conversions in Walsh Bay to modern glass towers in Barangaroo, face a common enemy: deteriorating drain stacks. These vertical pipes, often made from cast iron in older buildings or galvanised steel in mid-century constructions, are the lifelines of your building’s drainage system.

    The symptoms of failing stacks include:

    • Constant drain blockages affecting multiple apartments
    • Awful smells permeating through floor drains
    • Water damage appearing on ceilings or walls
    • Gurgling sounds when neighbours use their facilities
    • Slow drainage throughout the building

    Why a Traditional Pipe Replacement Isn’t Suitable for CBD Living

    The conventional approach to fixing failing vertical stacks involves extensive demolition work, breaking through concrete slabs, fire-rated walls, and often heritage features. This process is particularly unsuitable for Sydney’s dense, vertical living environment, where such work can disrupt hundreds of residents for weeks, create ongoing disputes between neighbours and strata committees, and generate noise violations in areas with strict council regulations.

    Stack Relining in Sydney: The Modern Service for Vertical Communities

    Stack relining Sydney represents a revolutionary approach to pipe repair that’s perfectly suited to high-rise living. This trenchless technology involves creating a new, structural pipe inside your existing stack without any demolition or excavation.

    How Stack Relining Works

    Our process involves:

    1. A CCTV inspection to assess the current condition of your stacks
    2. Cleaning the existing pipes using high-pressure water jetting
    3. Installing a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe
    4. Curing the liner to create a new, smooth pipe within the old one
    5. One final inspection to make certain that flow and structural integrity are working as intended

    This entire process typically takes just hours per stack, not weeks, and residents can often remain in their apartments throughout the work.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Stack Relining Sydney

    How long does stack relining take compared to traditional replacement?

    Stack relining typically takes a few hours per stack, while traditional replacement can take 2-3 weeks with extensive demolition and reconstruction required.

    Will residents need to vacate during the relining process?

    No, one of the major advantages of stack relining is that residents can usually remain in their apartments with minimal disruption to daily life.

    How long does a relined pipe last?

    Our stack relining comes with a 30-year warranty, and the technology has been proven to last 50+ years in similar applications.
