Patch Lining
Patch lining (also known as drain relining or pipelining) is a no-mess and cost-effective alternative to traditional drain repairs.
It involves lining the inside of a drain with a UPVC lining which then bonds to the inside of the pipe.
The Benefits of Patch Lining:
There are numerous benefits to lining drains over replacing them.
-
No digging or trenching required which reduces cost & hassle.
-
The lining itself forms a barrier against roots getting into the pipework.
-
Drain lining is cost effective as it’s cheaper than replacing pipes.
-
Improved flow rates.
MK Drains Drain Relining Process
-
We start with a CCTV survey of the drain to identify the damaged section.
-
We then clean and de-scale the affected section of pipework with high pressure water jetting.
-
The relining sleeve is then installed by way of air inflation. This sleeve cures over a period of up to three hours per run.
-
Once the curing period is complete, the inflation tube is removed
-
The new relined section is then cleaned to remove any excess resin solution.
