Re-lining One of most serious drainage problems, that affects all types of property is leaking drains. Leaks can occur for many different reasons, the most common being when drains become cracked or broken as a result of general deterioration or tree roots infiltrating the drain. Over time the water that leaks from the pipe will wash away soil from around the pipe and surrounding area, resulting in a hole or area of soft ground around the pipe. |
A T Drainage Consultancy can repair most damaged pipes by placing a new pipe inside an existing damaged pipe without the expense and disruption of excavation. This method is suitable for sewers and vertical rainwater down pipes and is commonly used on pipes that have cracked or general wear and tear. The liner is impregnated with resins and then inserted into the damaged line. The liner is then inflated under pressure by a specialised calibration hose and is kept under pressure until the resins have cured and the liner has become solid. The calibration hose is then removed and the pipe has been sealed, reinforced and smoothed out to give a perfect watertight pipe. |
