Drain Repairs
What are the different types of drain repair?
We offer 2 different types of drainage repair…
- In-pipe Repair
- Excavation
In- Pipe Repairs
Patch Repairs and Drain Relining are both methods of repairing drainage within the existing pipework and neither require any form of excavation.
These are localised repairs which are a cost-effective solution to fixing individual defects within a drainage system with little to no disruption to your property. Consisting of fibreglass matting impregnated with a Silicate resin solution setting into a hard sleeve within the pipework.
This method can cover small cracking, holes or displaced joints within the pipework keeping the system free flowing.
Excavations
Drainage excavation would be required for more serious issues that we wouldn’t be able to resolve with either a Patch Repair or Reline and would need to replace the pipework i.e collapsed drainage or major breakages.
What are the signs of a collapsed drain ?
- Repeat blockages
- Foul smells
- Signs of damp

“The service we have received from Alternative Drainage has been outstanding.
Initially, we had a blocked soil pipe, rendering our staff toilets closed until the issue was resolved. I contacted A/D explaining the situation and within a few hours, they were on site sorting the issue.
After finding cracks in the pipework, they sent an in-depth report along with a solution to overcome our issues. A/D worked around our opening times to fit the liner in the soil pipe allowing us to keep our toilets in use during operating hours. Since we’ve had the fix in place we’ve had no further issues.
Brilliant service.”
