What is drain lining?

Drain lining is just one of several no-dig technologies we use to minimise disruption to the ground and our customers’ daily lives.

It’s also a much more cost-effective option when compared to traditional excavation drain repair. This makes it a popular choice for property owners looking to save money without compromising on quality.

The first step in the drain lining process is to use a CCTV drain camera to inspect the inside of the pipe. This helps us to identify the location and severity of the damage.

We then insert a flexible liner made of tough, durable material that can withstand the pressure and flow of wastewater.

Once we have ensured that the liner is securely in place, we inflate it using compressed air. This causes it to expand and fit snugly against the inside of the existing pipe.

Finally, we use a UV light to cure the drain liner, hardening it to effectively create a new pipe within the old one.

What are the Benefits of Drain Lining?

Drain lining is a cost-effective and minimally invasive method of repairing damaged drains. Here are some key benefits:

Minimal disruption: One of the biggest advantages of drain lining is that it is a no-dig solution. This means that there is no need for excavation work, which can be time-consuming, expensive, and disruptive. With drain lining, repairs can be completed quickly and with minimal disruption to your property and daily routine.

Cost-effective: Drain lining is a more affordable option compared to traditional drain repair methods. Since it eliminates the need for excavation work and can be completed in a fraction of the time of traditional repair methods, it can save you a significant amount of money on labour costs and materials.

Durable and long-lasting: Drain lining creates a new, durable pipe within the old one. This means that the repaired pipe is strong enough to withstand the pressure and flow of wastewater, and it has an expected lifespan of up to 50 years.

Versatile: Drain lining can be used to repair a variety of issues, including cracks, leaks, and corrosion. It is also suitable for pipes of various materials, such as clay, cast iron, and PVC.

Environmentally friendly: Drain lining is an environmentally friendly method of repairing damaged drains. This is because it eliminates the need for excavation work, which can generate a significant amount of waste.

When is Drain Lining the Best Option?

Drain lining is an effective solution for repairing damaged drains that are still structurally sound.

It’s a versatile method that can be used to repair a variety of issues, including cracks, leaks, and corrosion. In many cases, drain lining is the best option for repairing damaged pipes, especially if the damage is minor or moderate.

However, if the damage to the pipe is too extensive, or if the pipe is too old and corroded, drain lining may not provide a long-term solution. In this cases, it may be more cost-effective to replace the damaged pipe entirely.

When you contact our experienced team, our engineers will assess the extent of the damage to your drains and recommend the best solution for your specific needs.
