Drain Repair Methods Explained

Modern drainage engineering offers several repair methods, each suited to different types of damage and situations. Understanding the options available helps you ask the right questions and make informed decisions when your drainage engineer recommends a repair approach.

What to Look For

• Drain relining: no-dig repair creating a new pipe inside the old one
• Excavation and replacement: digging up and replacing damaged sections
• Patch relining: targeted repair of a single defect without full relining
• Pipe bursting: breaking the old pipe while pulling a new one through
• Drain jetting: high-pressure cleaning for blockages and maintenance
• Root cutting: mechanical removal of tree roots from inside pipes

How We Diagnose the Problem

The correct repair method depends on the type of damage, pipe material, diameter, depth, and what's above the pipe. A CCTV survey provides all this information, allowing us to recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective method.
