The line nobody films is the line nobody offers to repair
Relining is well understood as a sewer repair. A resin sleeve is drawn through the existing pipe and cured hard in place, the defect is sealed, and nothing above ground is disturbed.
The same method works on a stormwater line, and hardly anybody is ever offered it. Not because it does not work, but because of a gap earlier in the chain: stormwater lines almost never get inspected, so defects in them almost never get found, so nobody reaches the point of discussing a repair.
It is worth closing that gap on a property with an established garden. A failed stormwater line puts a serious volume of roof water into the ground beside the house every time it rains, and the alternative to lining it is trenching the whole length through whatever has grown over it in the intervening decades.
So we film both systems, and where a stormwater line has a defect that suits a liner, we say so. Where it has collapsed, we say that instead, because a liner will not rescue a pipe that has lost its shape and pretending otherwise wastes your money.
