Drain and Pipe Relining
Detecting damage to your drains often requires specialized equipment like CCTV cameras, as issues may not be visible otherwise. However, certain signs can alert you to potential problems, such as drains backing up, subsidence or sunken areas above drainage pipes, and standing water in your garden.
While these signs could indicate a simple blockage, they may also signal more serious issues like root ingress or cracks in the pipework due to ground movement. Fortunately, the solution doesn't always involve digging up your garden to replace the damaged drains. Instead, we can employ a non-destructive technique known as drain lining.
Drain lining offers several benefits, including the avoidance of excavation and extraction, along with a relatively quick process that minimizes the downtime of your drains to just a few hours.
We offer a comprehensive drain relining and patching service designed to fully restore the flow and structural integrity of your drainage systems.
Utilizing advanced no-dig technology, we can save you up to 60% on costs compared to traditional excavation methods while also avoiding the inconvenience and disruption associated with invasive works.
What types of issues can drain relining address?
Drain relining is versatile and can effectively address a variety of issues such as open or leaking joints, root intrusion, stress damage, circumferential or radial cracks, and damage caused by blockages. With a re-lined drain, you achieve a permanent structural repair that comes with a full guarantee, ensuring the restoration of flow in your drainage system.
Should your drainage system exhibit weakness, damage, or leaks, our team stands ready to deliver a complete drain relining and patching service, ensuring the restoration of flow and integrity to your drain pipes. This approach not only saves you money but also minimizes disruption compared to ground excavation and pipe replacement.
