This is a homeowner's nightmare, a broken pipe running under the house. It's a tricky problem which we get called in to fix frequently.
Pipes and drains often run under structures like buildings, patios, sheds, retaining walls, driveways, paths, pools, and fences which make repairs difficult and costly if you have to dig large trenches.
Trenchless pipe relining offers a simple no-dig solution to this issue as most of the time little or no excavation is needed to carry out the repairs.
Our latest residential project is a great example of pipe relining presenting an easy answer to what could have been a huge issue for this homeowner.
The robotic cutter was first used to clear a connection in the drain which had become blocked.
We then used inversion pipe relining to repair a 26 metre stretch of 100 mm vitrified clay pipe located under the house. Inversion pipe relining is often used for small to medium pipes or drains, and it is perfect for domestic repairs like this one as it handles bends and changes in pipe diameter easily.
