No-Dig Drain Repair & Patch Lining
Your Local Exeter Experts for Clyst Heath, Topsham & Cranbrook

Patch lining is a highly effective method for repairing specific sections of a damaged drain. The process begins with a thorough inspection using advanced CCTV drain surveys to pinpoint the exact location and length of the fault. Once the problem area is identified and the pipe is cleaned, we prepare a bespoke fibreglass patch impregnated with a specialised silicate resin.This patch is wrapped around an inflatable air packer. We then carefully manoeuvre the packer into the precise position within the drain. Using a precise inflation method, which can sometimes involve a manual stirrup pump or automated air compressor depending on the setup, we apply pressure to inflate the packer. This expands the resin-soaked patch tightly against the walls of the existing pipe. After a short curing period, the packer is deflated and removed, leaving a smooth, complete, and watertight repair that is incredibly durable.

Opting for a no-dig drain relining or patch repair service offers significant advantages over traditional drainage repairs. The most obvious benefit is the lack of excavation. Because we repair the pipe from the inside, there is absolutely no need to dig up your pristine driveway, manicured garden, or commercial forecourt.Furthermore, these liners are exceptionally strong and resistant to future tree root ingress, ground movement, and chemical wear. It is a cost-effective solution that minimises disruption, saves time, and provides peace of mind. Regular maintenance and timely patch repairs can also prevent much larger issues, such as severe soil wash-out, unpleasant odours, and even property subsidence.
