Drainage systems on residential and commercial properties have to endure a considerable amount of wear and tear. The wastewater that flows through these pipes under the ground can result in damage and deterioration, which isn’t evident from the surface.

Types of Drain Repairs

1. Traditional Drain Repairs

This is a very standard method of fixing deteriorated or damaged drain pipes. In this process:

  • We have to dig out a specific portion of the landscape to access the damaged drain pipe.
  • Our team will carry out a detailed inspection to determine exactly how much damage has taken place.
  • We will repair or replace that section of the pipe as required.
  • The soil will be set into place again.

In this method, significant sections of the hardscaping have to be ripped out to access the underground drain pipes. It is an invasive procedure that is also quite time-consuming, which makes the entire process quite expensive.

2. Pipe Relining

This is an advanced drain repair method. Pipe relining is also referred to as trenchless drain repair, and it eliminates the requirement for extensive digging. This is the process we follow:

  • Our team will dig two small trenches on either side of the affected pipeline.
  • They will insert a CCTV drain camera into the drainpipe to determine the point at which the damage has taken place.
  • If there are any blockages, those will be cleared using the latest technologies such as root cutters and pressure jets.
  • Depending on the damage, they may recommend pipe relining. In this technology, an epoxy sleeve is inserted into the existing pipe and inflated. This sleeve fits snugly into the internal area of the drain and can last for up to 50 years.

The upfront cost of the epoxy lining method seems a little higher. However, when you compare the price of fixing the damage to the landscape that is caused in traditional repairs, the pipe relining process proves to be more cost-effective. It is also more reliable, and we provide guarantees for our services.
