Our Drain Repair Methods
Depending on the condition and location of the issue, we offer several advanced drain repair techniques. These are tailored to the needs of each job and always carried out by fully trained engineers.
No-Dig Drain Repair (Drain Relining)
Our no-dig drain relining method involves inserting a resin-impregnated liner into the damaged section of pipe. Once in place, it’s cured to form a new, durable inner pipe wall. This approach is ideal for minor cracks, leaks, or deformation and avoids the need for excavation.
Excavation & Drain Replacement
If your drain is severely collapsed or beyond repair, excavation may be necessary. We dig down to the affected area, replace it with modern, high-performance pipework, and backfill carefully to preserve surface integrity.
Root Intrusion Removal
Tree roots love drains – and not in a good way. We use specialist root cutting tools and CCTV drain inspection to identify and eliminate root intrusion before it causes major structural damage. Once removed, we can reline the pipe to prevent re-entry.
Drain Cleaning
Sometimes, a thorough drain cleaning is all that’s needed. We use high-pressure water jetting to blast away fat, scale, debris and more. It’s fast, effective, and restores full flow without needing chemicals.
Patch Repairs
For localised issues, a patch liner can be installed within the pipe to seal cracks or leaks. This method is efficient, long-lasting, and suitable for hard-to-reach or curved pipe sections.
