Drain and sewer repairs need to be undertaken quickly as they can cause flooding and damage to your home or office, and in some cases they can even result in building subsidence if not dealt with in a timely and efficient manner.
A broken or damaged drain or sewer may be identified using a CCTV drainage survey, through persistent drainage issues or you may have flooding which highlights there is an issue that needs to be resolved. Damage to your drains and sewers can be caused by number of factors.

Collapsed Pipework
Pipes can deteriorate and collapse due to age or through too much pressure on top of them. Damage could be caused by ground movement, invasive tree roots close to the drains, vehicle damage or house subsidence. Collapsed and damaged pipes can also cause house subsidence themselves, as if left undetected, the leaking water erodes the surrounding soil which can have a devastating impact on a building’s foundations.
Cracked or Fractured Pipework
Cracks and fractures in drains are often caused by tree roots ingress getting into the pipes through fractures or open joints. They can also be due to the age of the drains and sewers as many of these systems were installed a number of years ago. Back then, pipes were made of earthenware which makes them more susceptible to damage than the modern pipes used in building construction today.
Drain repairs
Whatever the cause of the damage to your drains and sewers, it needs to be rectified quickly before it causes further issues for your property and grounds.

Excavation Repair
Where possible we will use no-dig technology to repair your drainage system but sometimes excavation is necessary.
If the damage to your pipework is beyond repair using less intrusive methods or if you require additional pipework then excavation is unavoidable. Drainflow Solutions are fully trained in excavation and pipe repair so you can have complete peace of mind that if excavation is required the work will be carried out professionally and to the required standards. We pride ourselves in our ability to perform excavation work with minimal disruption to you and your property and will reinstate your ground with minimal trace of our efforts. On completion of the work we will always ensure that your property is left clean and tidy.
Manhole Inspection and Repair
Manholes allow for inspection of drainage systems either manually or via a CCTV survey. They enable the maintenance of the drains and access for clearance of any blockages to ensure free flowing systems.
If your manhole chambers are in a poor state of repair, we can rebuild them from the bottom up where necessary. We also supply and install a comprehensive range of covers/frames for different applications as well as plastic inspection chambers and more.

Pipe Lining and Patch Lining
Drainflow Solutions engineers are fully trained to undertake lining and patch lining work. We are accredited installers and work closely with Renoline to ensure we are up to date, using the best materials and effective methods of installation.
If you are continually having issues with your drains then you may have an underlying problem which needs to be repaired. You may notice a foul smell, localised flooding or the ground subsiding in places.
A CCTV drainage survey may highlight a cracked, fractured or leaking pipe requiring repair to avoid damage and flooding to your home or office. Left untreated, a leaking pipe may eventually result in building subsidence as the water will wash away the surrounding soil which will impact the foundations of the building.
No-Dig Technology
The good news is that defective pipework does not always require excavation to repair. Problems such as cracks, holes and open or displaced joints can be rectified using no-dig technology resulting in a new sleeved section of drain, more durable and free flowing than the original pipe. This is achieved by lining or patch lining the pipework. Relining is a proven and established method of pipe repair and is very cost effective compared to excavation and complete pipe replacement. Pipe lining is approved by WRAS, surveyors, architects and local authorities as a proven method of repair.
Relining
Effectively, a resin sleeve is inserted into the existing drain or sewer, restoring structural integrity. Relining the drain makes it more durable than the original pipe and ensures it will stand the test of time. If there is a small section of the pipework or crack to be repaired, then this can be done using patch lining to seal the leak. Installing a patch liner will also prevent further root ingress into the drain. This process eliminates the need for excavation at greater cost, time and disruption which means your repairs are dealt with swiftly and you are up and running again in no time at all.
Soakaway Installation
Drainflow Solutions have installed several new soakaway and rainwater systems for our customers across the South-East. Modern soakaways are constructed using polystorm crates or precast concrete rings/segments with weep holes allowing storage of rainwater before percolating into the surrounding sub-soil. Please give us a call and we will gladly advise on any rainwater requirements you have.
Building Regulations require you to make adequate provision to dispose of the storm and rain water from your home or commercial building. You cannot feed this surface water into storm drains unless the system discharges there already. Where possible, you should have a soakaway on your premises to conform with current building regulations. Surface runoff water should never be passed into a foul drain unless the main system is a combined sewer or with written consent from the local water autority.
If you are having a new extension or building works carried out on your property, you must conduct the surface water from your property away from the building and collect it in a soakaway. This soakaway then disperses the water into the soil at a rate which avoids any flooding. The size and type of soakaway will be determined by the sub-soil make up and can be calculated by way of a percolation/porosity test. Soakaways are an environmentally friendly way of dealing with the rain and storm water as it replenishes groundwater.
