Drain and sewer pipes are prone to damage over time because of tree root intrusion, blockages, ground and soil movement, and other factors. This can lead to structural faults if ignored or left unrepaired, which compromise the integrity of your piping system, potentially leading to a complete collapse. Broken or cracked pipes are also an invitation for tree roots searching for water underground and recurring drain blockages.
At Drain Medics, we use the latest plumbing technology and pipe relining solutions to repair isolated sections of the pipe. This negates the need for complete pipe replacement and expensive excavation with affordable and swift pipe repair services.
Our CCTV camera equipment can easily access all types of underground drain and sewer pipes, providing real-time footage and clear images of the pipe interior and the location of the pipe damage. We then devise a precise repair strategy for long-term repair and effective drain maintenance, providing local councils, authorities, civil contractors, and facilities with reinforced, durable piping systems and improved functionality.
We offer point repair for pipes with diameters of up to 900 mm using CIPP (cured-in-place pipe lining). With a full range of pipe inspection and repair equipment, and a team of experienced drain maintenance contractors, we can fix both small and large-diameter pipes with expertise and professionalism.
Pipe relining is the most effective method for repairing damaged sections of the pipes without major landscape disruption or complete pipe replacement. It typically takes only a couple of hours or a day, depending on the scope of the job and extent of damage. The water flow in most cases can be restored in less than 24-hours, with minimum disruption to the public or residents.
CIPP patch repair involves preparing a sleeve made of fibreglass cut to the exact dimension of the defective pipe section. The sleeve is combined with a resin, attached to an inflatable packer, and inserted into the pipe. The drain packer is inflated which bonds the resin-coated liner to the existing pipe interior. The liner is cured in place, forming a smooth, completely repaired sleeve inside the existing (host) pipe.
Pipe relining can be used on most types of drains, from PVC and earthenware to cast iron and beyond. The resin-coated liner bonds tightly to the pipe interior, providing enhanced protection against tree roots and corrosion. Some of the other benefits include:
Pipe relining is a highly specialised process which requires high-tech equipment and extensive expertise to guarantee results. At Drain Medics, we have the skills, experience, and equipment to provide the perfect remedy for isolated pipe repair.
Our pipe relining process involves:
Our pipe relining process is non-invasive, and minimal digging is required. The pipe is accessed through a drain opening or manhole. A small temporary opening may be used to reach more difficult areas. This opening is closed after the repair work is completed.
Pipe patching can be used for lateral, junction, and sectional areas of the pipe. The equipment is compact and can navigate through bends, corners and enclosed spaces easily to repair even the most inaccessible or difficult-to-reach areas in underground piping systems.
We offer a full range of drain maintenance services with the latest plumbing technology and certified drain contractors. Our internal pipe repair provides complete repair solutions with real-time reporting to inspect the condition of drains and sewers. This gives you evidence-backed data to formulate preventive maintenance and rehabilitation strategies that minimise potential drainage problems and reduce overheads.
The data provided by the WinCan software also helps local councils, authorities, and civil contractors to meet compliance regulations and prepare accurate reports to streamline work processes.
