No-Dig Repairs
Drain Repairs & Relining
Fix a damaged drain from the inside, without digging up your garden or driveway. No-dig relining restores structural strength with minimal disruption.
Traditional drain repair means excavating down to the damaged section, which can mean tearing up a driveway, patio or garden to reach a single cracked joint. No-dig relining, more formally known as cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) repair, avoids that entirely. A flexible liner, soaked in resin, is fed into the pipe through an existing manhole or inspection chamber, inflated so it presses against the damaged walls, and then cured into a hard, seamless new pipe within the old one.
This approach works for the great majority of defects we see, including cracks, displaced joints and root damage, and is significantly less disruptive and usually quicker than excavation. Every relining job starts with a CCTV survey to confirm the defect and check the pipe is a suitable candidate, followed by jetting to clean the pipe thoroughly before the liner goes in, since a clean surface is essential for a proper bond.
What's Involved
Survey First
A CCTV survey confirms the exact defect and whether the pipe is a suitable candidate for a no-dig repair.
Cleaning & Preparation
High-pressure jetting removes debris and old deposits so the new liner can bond properly to the pipe wall.
Liner Installation
A flexible, resin-saturated liner is inserted through an existing access point, inflated against the pipe wall, and cured in place.
Verification
A follow-up check confirms the repair is fully bonded and the drain is flowing correctly before we finish the job.
