Structural Drain Repairs
DRAIN REPAIRS, REMEDIAL WORKS, DRAIN PIPE REPLACEMENT, GROUNDWORKS, MAINTENANCE
Drains may crack and joints open up resulting from ground movement, water infiltration, tree root ingress or vehicular traffic. The only solution in the past has been to locate the defective area and repair the pipe after excavating to expose the drain. This is no longer the case.
Whilst excavation is still necessary in some cases Drain & Able in Reading Berkshire, your local drain company, offer a range of no dig repair techniques to repair structural and non structural defects in drains which can be undertaken with the minimum of cost and disruption.

DRAIN & ABLE READING BERKSHIRE FOR PATCH LINING & CIP (CURED IN PLACE) LINING
Where defects are localised to a small area, a patch liner can be used to produce a permanent high quality repair. Patches are applied by coating a fibre glass mat with a resin. The mat is then wrapped around an inflatable packer and pushed into position. The packer is inflated and the resin left to cure.
Where the drain is damaged along it’s length, the whole section can be lined. It involves the insertion of a lining “sleeve” impregnated with a polyester resin fibre along the length of the damaged drain. It is then moulded into place using air or water pressure and left to cure. The result is a new fibre reinforced pipe within the old damaged pipe.

DRAIN & ABLE READING BERKSHIRE FOR INSTALLATION OF SOAKAWAYS
Installing a soakaway in Reading in Berkshire and all surrounding areas provides a solution for rainwater from a roof gutter or from surface water drainage from a building or domestic dwelling to be collected and dispersed into the soil in a suitable location. The location of the soakaway should be positioned at least 5 metres away from the building or domestic dwelling to avoid the possibility of excess water damaging the foundations. This method of drainage however is not always suitable in clay soils as these do not allow water to pass.
