Signs You Need Drain Repairs
It's not always obvious when a drain is damaged underground. Look out for these warning signs:
- Persistent Blockages: If your drains block repeatedly despite cleaning, there may be a structural defect catching debris.
- Unpleasant Smells: A broken pipe can allow sewer gas to escape into your home or garden.
- Damp or Mold: Leaking pipes can cause damp patches on walls or floors.
- Subsidence or Cracks: In severe cases, leaking water can wash away soil, causing the ground to sink and cracks to appear in the building structure.
- Rat Infestations: Rats often enter properties through broken drainage pipes.
Our Repair Methods
We assess each situation individually to determine the most cost-effective and least intrusive repair method.
No-Dig Technology (Drain Lining)
Whenever possible, we use trenchless technology. This involves inserting a resin-impregnated liner into the damaged pipe. Once inflated and cured, it creates a new, strong pipe within the old one. This method is faster, cheaper, and avoids the mess of digging up your garden or driveway.
Patch Repairs
For localized damage, such as a single crack or open joint, a patch repair is an ideal solution. It works similarly to full lining but targets only the specific area of damage.
Excavation
In cases where the pipe has completely collapsed or is not suitable for lining, traditional excavation may be necessary. Our team is experienced in safe excavation and reinstatement, ensuring your property is returned to its original condition.
Insurance Claims Assistance
Many drain repairs are covered by buildings insurance, especially if the damage is accidental. We can help you navigate the claims process, providing the necessary reports and CCTV footage to support your claim and get the work authorized quickly.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my drain needs repairing or just unblocking?
A CCTV drain survey is the best way to diagnose the issue. It allows us to see inside the pipe and distinguish between a simple blockage and structural damage.
Is drain lining as strong as a new pipe?
Yes, the cured resin liner is extremely durable and often stronger than the original pipe. It is designed to last for decades.
Will you need to dig up my driveway?
Not necessarily. With our no-dig technology, we can often repair drains without any excavation. We only resort to digging if the pipe is collapsed or inaccessible otherwise.
How long does a drain repair take?
Patch repairs and lining can often be completed in a single day. Excavation jobs may take longer depending on the depth and location of the pipe.
