    Drain Relining: Do You Need Drain Sleeve Repair?

    Drainage systems can suffer from various problems over time, including leaks, cracks and blockages caused by factors such as ground movement, tree root infiltration or simply ageing pipes.

    Some tell-tale signs that you may require drain relining include slow drainage, gurgling sounds or bubbles coming from your drains, water backups coming into your shower, sinks or toilet as well as wet patches on the exterior of your property.

    Left untreated, these issues can lead to structural damage, which can result in major issues such as foul odours and health hazards. Blockages will begin to occur which will lead to sewage backups and costly repairs.

    CIPP sewer repair is a cost-effective, non-invasive solution to repair damaged pipes and restore your drainage system to optimal functionality without the need for extensive excavation or pipe replacement.

    Sewer and Drain Relining Process

    Our professional drain lining process involves the following steps:

    1. Inspection: We begin with a thorough CCTV drain survey to identify the exact location and extent of damage within your drainage system.
    2. Cleaning: Our team then starts drain cleaning and descaling of the affected pipe using high-pressure water jetting, ensuring a smooth surface for the lining to bond.
    3. Lining Installation: A custom-made, resin-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and precisely positioned using an inflatable packer.
    4. Blue Light Curing: The unique Blue Light Curing technology is employed to harden the resin, creating a seamless and durable new pipe within the old one.
    5. Final Inspection: A post-installation CCTV survey is conducted to confirm the successful repair and optimal functioning of your drainage system.

    Frequently Asked Drain Lining Repair Questions

    What is drain lining?

    Drain lining is a technique used to repair or replace damaged pipelines and can be achieved by putting a flexible liner or resin-coated tube into the current pipe, forming a new pipe within it with a strong, durable structure.

    How much does drain lining cost?

    The cost of drain lining may differ depending on the severity of the damage, the length of the pipe and the needs of the project. Larger pipelines will typically cost more than smaller pipelines and less intricate systems.

    Speak to one of our team here at Cotswold Drainage to receive an on-site survey and quotation on the costs for drain lining.

    What size drains can be relined?

    All manner of drain sizes can be relined. Small home pipes, as well as bigger commercial or industrial drains, can benefit from installing drainpipe repair sleeves.

    Cotswold Drainage has over 40 years of experience in drainpipe lining and has performed the service to residential properties, as well as commercial sectors including schools, office buildings, factories and industrial estates.

    Should I reline or replace my pipes?

    The degree of the damage, the state of the existing pipes and other considerations determine whether to reline or replace your pipes. The best course of action for your case can be determined with the aid of a professional evaluation from the experts here at Cotswold Drainage. Several benefits drain lining can have over replacement, including saving costs, minimal disruption and efficiency.

    Can cast iron drain lines be relined?

    If the cast iron drain lines are in good enough condition to support the lining process, then they can be relined. To assess if your drain lines are cast iron and to check their overall condition, book a survey with Cotswold Drainage.

    Can you reline a drainpipe with elbows?

    Drainpipes that possess elbows (curves at angles of 45, 60, 90, 120 or 180 degrees) can be relined. However, it requires specialist equipment and techniques, all of which can be done by Cotswold Drainage.

    Does pipe lining work with PVC drain lines?

    As long as the PVC drain lines are in a state that allows for proper adhesion of the lining material, pipe lining can be utilised on them.

    How do sewer re-liners connect to drain connections?

    Depending on the particular lining system and pipe type, sewer re-liners are attached to drain connectors using techniques such as heat infusion, mechanical connectors or adhesive bonding. Expert installers, such as Cotswold Drainage, will select the best strategy for a secure connection.
