DRAINAGE

---

 Sooner or later, the drainage pipes in your home or business suffer from accumulated wear and tear, years of grease, hair, soap scum, and the occasional toy or ring. Because of this everyday usage, you can expect that your plumbing pipes won’t drain like they did when they were new. 
Underground drains and sewers can also suffer from structural defects caused by ground movement, leakage, subsidence, tree root infiltration and corrosion. 

We have been unblocking all kinds of drains since 1968, so call us now 24hrs a day. 

We have the expertise to fix your problem quickly, safely and effectively.  No blockage is too tough! 

 Drains and sewers may crack due to ground movement, subsidence, tree root infiltration, or corrosion – or they may totally collapse. The result is a structurally defective drainage causing repeat blockages or leaks into the surrounding soil. 

Whatever your problem, we will conduct a thorough site survey and and advise on the most efficient and cost-effective method of repair.  

 Patch Lining – Where defects are localised in a small area, this can be “patched” to produce a permanent high quality repair. Patches are applied by coating a fibre-glass mat with silicate resin. The mat is then wrapped around an inflatable packer and pushed into position. Then left to cure.  Section Lining – Where the drain is damaged along its length. The whole section can be lined. It involves the insertion of a lining “sock” impregnated with an epoxy resin along the length of the damaged drain. It is then moulded into place using air and water pressure and hot cured. The result is a new fibre reinforced pipe within the old damaged pipe.  The benefits of lining as a drainage repair solution are:

• Minimal cost
• Minimal disruption and inconvenience
• Resistant to leaks or root penetration
• Minimal cross section loss
• Guaranteed for 15 years
• Speedy return to full function
• Suitable for all types and sizes of pipe work from 75mm diameter upwards

 Historically soakaways consisted of large pits filled with hardcore, stones and gravel. The problem with this arrangement was that over time, soil particles were inevitably washed down into the spaces between the stones, filling the voids and rendering the soakaway useless.

In recent times much better soakaways have been constructed using modular water storage cells, known as soakaway crates due to the fact they closely resemble the old-style plastic milk crates. With water management an ever-increasing factor for developers, homeowners and Local Authorities, water crates are now an everyday item found in almost all types of building projects.

When correctly installed, plastic soakaways are vastly more efficient than their hardcore predecessors.
