Drain relining represents a significant advancement in drain pipe repair technology, offering a non-invasive alternative to traditional digging methods. At BE1 Property Services, we specialise in this cost-effective and efficient drain relining solutions. Our solutions restore and enhance the integrity of your plumbing system without the need for extensive excavation. This method involves inserting a resin-impregnated liner into the existing pipe, which then hardens to form a new pipe within the old one. This process effectively repairs damage such as cracks, holes, and leaks caused by root intrusion or general wear.

The appeal of drain relining lies in its simplicity and effectiveness. Unlike conventional repair methods that involve significant disruption to your property and daily life. This process saves time whilst also reducing noise and mess. It also proves to be more sustainable by preserving the existing landscape.

By choosing drain relining, property owners benefit from a quicker, cleaner, and more cost-effective solution to pipe maintenance. The relined pipes are durable, resistant to corrosion and leaks, and have an extended lifespan, which can significantly reduce future maintenance costs and may increase the value of the property.

We use the latest in CCTV technology to first diagnose the problem areas within your pipes accurately. Our relining process is precisely tailored to address specific damage in your pipes through our initial assessment. Being able to identify the cause of the problem ensure we can provide a long-lasting and reliable high-quality repair. Our commitment to using advanced technology and materials enables us to provide a superior service and deliver results that last.

Why Choose Drain Relining?

Increasingly, customers favour drain relining over traditional excavation methods due to its many advantages. This non-invasive technique offers a seamless, quick solution to common plumbing problems, proving to be invaluable in various scenarios:

• Minimised Disruption: Unlike traditional methods that require extensive digging and excavation. By using existing access points, we are able to perform drain relining, eliminating the need for disruptive excavation work. This aspect is particularly beneficial in urban areas or on properties where excavation could damage landscapes, structures, or paved areas.
• Cost Efficiency: Relining eliminates the costs associated with excavation such as labour, machinery, and the subsequent restoration of disrupted areas. The process requires fewer personnel and less time, significantly reducing the overall cost of the repair.
• Extended Pipe Lifespan: The materials used in relining, such as epoxy or polyester resin, bond to create a durable ‘pipe within a pipe’. This new lining is often stronger than the original piping. It is also resistant to the common causes of damage like root intrusion and internal degradation. This resilience extends the lifespan of the pipe system, reducing the need for future repairs.
• Environmental Benefits: With no need for digging, drain relining has a lower environmental impact. It reduces the carbon footprint associated with the transport and operation of heavy machinery and minimizes the disturbance to the surrounding ecosystems.
• Versatility: Using drain relining, pipes of various sizes and types, including sewer, stormwater, and vertical pipes in buildings, can be repaired. It is also effective in pipes that bend or have multiple junctions, where traditional repairs might be challenging or impossible.
• Enhanced Safety: The trenchless nature of the job reduces the risks associated with open excavations such as collapses or accidents, making it a safer option for both workers and the public.
• Improved Pipe Functionality: The smooth interior surface of the relined pipes reduces friction and increases water flow efficiency, preventing future blockages and improving overall pipe performance.

Clients assure themselves of a swift, cost-effective and durable solution to their pipe problems by choosing drain relining. BE1 Property Services harnesses the latest in technology and materials to ensure that every relining job meets the highest standards of quality and customer satisfaction.

The Drain Relining Process

The process of drain relining is meticulous and requires precision to ensure effective results. Here’s how we approach each project:

• Initial CCTV Inspection
  • The process begins with a CCTV camera inspection to thoroughly assess the condition inside the pipes. This step identifies all defects and helps in planning the relining process with precision.
• Cleaning and Preparing the Pipes
  • Using high-pressure water jetting or other mechanical methods, we clean the pipes to remove any debris, roots, or blockages. This ensures the lining material adheres properly to the pipe walls.
• Liner Preparation
  • Our engineers choose and prepare a custom liner, impregnated with a specific resin, based on the pipe material and the type of damage. This liner is tailored to fit the diameter and shape of the existing pipe.
• Installation Techniques
  • Air Inversion: Air pressure is used to invert the resin-impregnated liner into the pipe.
  • Water Inversion: For larger or more complex pipe systems, water pressure helps to insert and position the liner.
  • Pull-in Place: For more complex pipes with multiple bends or connections. The liner is pulled into place and then expanded to fit tightly against the pipe walls.
• Curing the Liner
  • The pipe is cured from the inside using ambient temperatures, hot water, steam, or UV light, solidifying the resin to form a new and robust pipe within the old one. This curing process is crucial as it determines the strength and durability of the relined pipe.
• Final Inspection and Quality Check
  • A final CCTV inspection ensures the liner has adhered seamlessly and the pipe repair is successful. This step verifies that the relining has restored the structural integrity of the pipe and that it is ready for regular use.

This detailed process not only repairs damaged pipes but also enhances their overall functionality, ensuring they are more durable and efficient. At BE1 Property Services, we employ the latest techniques and highest standards for every relining project.

Materials & Chemicals

The liners are typically made from durable materials like polyester, vinyl ester, or epoxy resins. The choice of material is based on the pipe’s application, expected life, and environmental conditions. This ensures that they can withstand abrasion, chemical reactions, and extreme temperatures, where needed.

Cost-Effective Solutions

Comparing relining to traditional methods, it is evident that relining is significantly less disruptive and more cost-efficient. It reduces labor, equipment, and time, translating into direct financial savings and less environmental impact.

Environmental and Safety Benefits

With no need for excavation, relining is safer and preserves the existing landscape. It significantly reduces the risk of accidents associated with open trench methods and is better for the environment by minimizing the carbon footprint and waste production.
