When problems occur with drains it can be difficult to assess exactly where the problem is occurring as well as finding a cost effective way to repair them. Traditionally there would be a need for the ground around the pipe to be dug up, the piece of pipe removed and replaced. During this process there would often be a lot of disruption to the local area as well as flooding that often occurs as a result of the pipe being left open whilst the repairs are undertaken.
There is an alternative to this though. A Drain Lining Maidenhead company such as www.drainpower.co.uk/drainage-services/drain-lining/drain-lining-maidenhead can in some instances repair drains using drain lining. This will of course depend on the damage that has occurred as well as the location in which the damage has happened.
Drain lining involves adding a polymer lining that then bonds to the inside of the pipe. The lining is placed inside the drain and although the addition of the lining will reduce the overall diameter of the pipe by a small amount, it means that there is no need for the pipe to be completely dug up. It is important that the drain is inspected to ensure that the damage is capable of being repaired using a lining. In severe cases it may not be possible to fix the issue using a lining.
