Dr. Canalisation Tahiti Moorea
Expert in pipe lining in French Polynesia
Pipe rehabilitation without excavation work
The Polynesian climate puts a heavy strain on the plumbing system. Constant humidity accelerates corrosion, salty air corrodes metals, tropical rains overload the drainage system, and the roots of mape, banyan, and tumu trees grow with formidable force into even the smallest cracks. The result: pipes that age faster than they would in mainland France.
Pipe lining provides an effective solution for these conditions. A resin-based liner is slid into the existing pipe without any excavation. The resin cures in place, forming a new pipe that is completely watertight, corrosion-resistant, and impervious to root intrusion.
In fact, this is one of the most common issues in Tahiti. The salty air and constant humidity accelerate the deterioration of metal pipes. The resin liner creates a new inner wall inside the corroded pipe, one that is completely resistant to corrosion. There is no interaction with the salty air or humidity—the problem is eliminated at its source.
Yes. After grinding away the roots that have grown into the pipe, Sacha installs the liner, which hermetically seals the inside of the pipe. The roots can no longer find a way in. Unlike simple drain cleaning, which provides only temporary relief, pipe lining offers a permanent solution to root intrusion.
Yes. Sacha regularly travels to Moorea with all his equipment. Contact him to schedule a service call on the sister island. For other islands in French Polynesia, availability is determined on a case-by-case basis.
The equipment is already on site, which avoids additional import costs for each project. Pipe lining remains significantly more cost-effective than a traditional replacement, especially since earthwork in Polynesia (material transport, site restoration) is particularly expensive. Sacha provides a free estimate following the camera inspection.
Until now, Tahitian homeowners who needed pipe lining had to bring in a contractor from mainland France—which added the cost of plane tickets, lodging, and equipment transport to the bill. Sacha is based in Tahiti. His equipment is on-site. He also works on Moorea without excessive additional costs.

A professional team lined 10 linear meters of my home. My pipe, damaged over the years, was completely restored. Everything is clear: seriousness and service.
I'd been told that the pipe in my pool was too badly damaged and had to be replaced. In the end, thanks to the liner, everything was repaired in just a few hours, without any breakage and without draining the pool. The result was impeccable, the team professional and very informative. A real relief.
An exceptionally responsive, efficient and very professional team.
Don't hesitate to call on them, you have a problem, they have the solution.
Reasonable rates considering the services offered, the best choice, don't look elsewhere 🙏
No excavation. The patio, terrace, and garden are intact.
Sacha arrives with all his equipment; no running back and forth.
Much cheaper than replacing and importing materials.
A resin that is resistant to moisture, salt, and tropical roots.
