Drainage issues can be worrying and costly. Replacing broken pipes, or digging up your business or property drains can be daunting and costly. Thankfully, there are alternatives to your drainage woes. Instead of disrupting your property with dust and workmen or digging up your garden, at Drain Power we can fix most cracked drain issues with our patch lining or drain lining techniques.
The main causes of cracked drains
If you detect bad smells or odours in your property, have backed up drains or slow draining water, or worse, rats or rodents in your home or business, it is likely you have an issue with cracked drains. Over a period of time cracked drains can occur due to many external factors including subsidence, tree root ingress, heavy traffic or temperature extremes such as freezing water. Regardless of the cause, cracked drains can be very problematic, however there are a variety of drain lining of patch repair solutions which are straightforward, non-obtrusive, ‘no-dig’ alternatives.
Which drain lining option is best?
Our Drain Power team are based in Windsor and can service Berkshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Hampshire, Surrey and the Greater London areas. They’ll normally carry out CCTV drain surveys to inspect your drain network remotely to find the location and cause of any damage that requires drain repairs. They can then talk you through the options, whether that’s replacing damaged pipework or, more likely, carrying out lining or targeted patching work to fix your existing pipes.
What options are there?
- Drain and sewer lining
Used for larger areas of damage or pipes with multiple cracks or corrosion - Patch lining
Used for smaller localised areas of damage and prevents bigger problems developing - Replacing pipes
Used as a last resort and involves groundworks to replace a full section of drain
Is drain lining a good alternative to drain replacement?
Our repair solutions are not just fast, cost-effective, and dig-free alternatives for replacing drains, they’re also long-lasting solutions for drainage issues
The drain and patch lining process
The great thing about drain lining and patch repairs is they can be carried out remotely, without having to excavate your land. Your Drain Power team will access your drain network via the nearest manhole and repair your pipework.
Here’s how it works:
