The Andidrain service goes beyond investigation and cleaning,
with a comprehensive drainage repair service.
With our knowledge and skills, we can assess and make recommendations to
deliver value for money in the event of drain failure.
Often, the first sign to the customer of a drainage problem is a blockage. This
may have an underlying cause, for example, root masses penetrating through
a broken pipe. Cleaning and cutting back the roots will solve the problem in
the short term, but left untreated, the situation will present itself again and
again.
A further serious issue could be that of exfiltration, where a damaged pipe
causes effluent to escape into the surrounding soils leading to the potential
contamination of groundwater and pollution.
Customers may be concerned at the disruption that digging down and
replacing sections of broken pipe can cause, but with a variety of no-dig (or
'trenchless') techniques now available, this need not be the case.
A number of solutions are available.
Patch Repair.
Where the problem is isolated to only one or two areas within a pipe, the most cost
effective method is likely to be the installation of a short length of lining to 'patch' the
area in question.
Full Length Lining
Where defects are found to exist over a longer area of pipe, a full-length lining is more
likely to offer the most economical solution.
Installed from manhole to manhole, a number of methods are available depending upon
the particular situation.
Whatever the situation, please do contact us for professional, friendly advice.
