Drain repairs

[adrianw]

We had a collapsed drain in the car park a few years ago, every few weeks it would back up, I used a company called Metro Rod, they blew a polythene tube down the pipe and then pumped in fibreglass, then pumped hot water through to cure it, it was about 30 metres long and took them about half a day, from memory it wasn't stupidly expensive, and fixed the problem, obviously it reduced the size of the pipe a little but it wasn't an issue, it was in Essex

I should add they did send a camera down first

I should also add that these resin relining repairs are usually very good, but are only as good as the crew installing them.

I am not a huge fan of local patch repairs for drains, but prefer instead to line between access points (eg manhole chambers), so the whole length of the damaged area of drain, if you can and assuming it is not cost prohibitive to do so.
