Expert Patch Lining In Crediton, Devon

You might need drain patch lining if a CCTV drain survey (which we also provide) has identified a specific point of weakness or damage in your pipework. Common scenarios include:

• A singular crack or fracture in a pipe.
• A displaced joint that’s causing leaks or blockages.
• Localised root ingress where roots have only affected a small section.
• Addressing issues found during a pre-purchase drain inspection for a new home in Exeter or Dawlish.
• General wear and tear causing small holes or weak spots.
  Patch lining is suitable for a variety of pipe materials and sizes, offering a robust solution when a full pipe replacement isn’t necessary. We’ll always assess your unique situation with a thorough CCTV inspection to determine if a patch repair is the most suitable and durable option.

Our patch lining service is a precise and efficient operation designed to minimise disruption. Here's how we typically carry out a localised drain repair:

1. CCTV Drain Survey: First, we use our advanced CCTV equipment to pinpoint the exact location, nature, and length of the damage within the existing drain pipe. This ensures we target the repair precisely.
2. Drain Cleaning: Before any repair, we thoroughly clean the pipe, often using high-pressure water jetting, to remove any debris, scale buildup, or small root systems that might hinder the repair.
3. Patch Preparation: We prepare a special fibreglass mat, known as a liner, which is saturated with a durable, quick-curing resin.
4. Insertion with an Inflatable Packer: The resin-soaked patch is then wrapped around an inflatable packer. This packer is carefully pushed or winched through the drain to the exact location of the damage. We use air pressure to inflate the packer, pressing the patch firmly against the internal wall of the pipe.
5. Curing and Solidification: The resin then cures and hardens, creating a strong, watertight, and durable repair that effectively seals off the damaged section.
6. Final Inspection: Once cured, the packer is deflated and removed, and a final CCTV survey is performed to ensure the complete repair is successful and the drain is flowing freely.
