What Is Drain Relining And How Can It Help Your Wirral Property?

After the very hot summer, some people on the Wirral are experiencing drain problems as the water table readjusts. Exceptional weather conditions cause the soil and tree roots to behave differently, and this can lead to breaks or cracks in drainage pipes or exacerbate problems which were already there.

What is drain relining?

Drain relining is a simple and cost-effective solution to preserve the integrity of your drain run without having to excavate the ground to repair a pipe. Digging down is labour-intensive and expensive and makes a huge mess. It is sometimes not as satisfactory to insert a new section of pipe and hard to protect the joint at either end from settlement plus these areas of inserted pipe always remain vulnerable to movement and become a weak point in their own right.

Drain relining avoids all the cost and mess associated with digging down to deal with a drainage issue at your Wirral home or commercial premises. We start with a CCTV drain survey which uses a fibre optic cable with a camera to inspect the drain run and highlight problem areas. We then clean the drain to remove any debris or detritus so that the surface is ready to receive the new liner.

Drain relining involves installing a new lining to the existing pipe with a bond which binds the lining and pipe together to create a complete seal. We can install one long single lining or overlapping or patch repairs depending on what the CCTV survey reveals. Drain liners are usually made from a special resin which is put into position under pressure or can be inflated once it is in the drain. Relining can solve several key drainage issues like tree root and soil ingress, cracked pipes and displaced joints.

Our operatives are fully trained and can provide a mess-free and simple solution to a pipe which has cracked or broken and is constantly backed up with soil blockages or tree root incursion. The work can be inspected with another CCTV survey once it is complete and will extend the working life of your drains for years to come.
