Drain Repair Services in Teesside
Damaged drains can cause serious problems for your property, including subsidence, damp, and contamination of the surrounding soil. Teesside Drainage connects you with experienced local specialists who can repair any type of drain damage, from minor cracks to complete pipe collapses.
Types of Drain Damage
Drains can be damaged in a number of ways. The most common types of damage include cracked or fractured pipes, caused by ground movement or the weight of traffic above; collapsed pipes, which can occur in older clay or concrete drains; root ingress, where tree roots grow into the drain through cracks or joints; and misaligned or displaced joints, which can allow soil and groundwater to enter the drain.
Drain Repair Methods
The most appropriate repair method will depend on the type and extent of the damage. For minor cracks and fractures, patch lining or full pipe relining can be used to repair the drain without excavation. For more severe damage, such as a collapsed pipe, excavation and pipe replacement may be required. In some cases, a combination of methods may be used.
No-Dig Drain Repairs
Where possible, experienced drainage specialists will use no-dig repair methods, such as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining, to repair damaged drains without the need for excavation. This is faster, less disruptive, and often more cost-effective than traditional excavation methods.
FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my drain needs repairing?
Signs that your drain may need repairing include recurring blockages, slow drainage, unpleasant smells, wet patches in the garden, or cracks in walls or floors near drainage runs. A CCTV drain survey is the most reliable way to assess the condition of your drains.
Can drains be repaired without digging up the garden?
In many cases, yes. No-dig repair methods such as pipe relining can be used to repair cracked or fractured pipes without excavation. However, for severely collapsed pipes, excavation may be unavoidable.
How long does a drain repair take?
The time required for a drain repair depends on the type and extent of the damage. A simple patch repair can be completed in a few hours, while a full pipe relining or excavation repair may take a day or more.
