Damaged drains and pipes are our business!

Premier Drainage Services Limited are always on hand to respond to calls about damaged drainage systems in the Knebworth, Hertfordshire area. We are a professional drainage specialist and are capable of dealing with all of your drainage issues.

We start with a visual inspection and if required, we employ a CCTV remote unit to correctly identify the most cost effective way to deal with whatever the problem is. If a major problem, such as a fracture or leak is detected in your pipework, then we are able to target and repair that specific area, hopefully without the need to fully excavate the site first.

Because we are equipped with CCTV camera equipment our engineers can quickly identify the problem areas. Once the problem has been identified, we can start to remove the cause of leak. A good deal of drainage pipe cracks or leaks are caused by root structures damaging the pipes and sometimes the roots start to mass and grow inside the pipe, causing issues with slow drainage. Once we have discovered the cause, we can prepare for a drain patch relining.

Quite often, the best option is to repair the drain using a trenchless technology such as a patch repair, this method is quite cost effective, much quicker and causes less destruction, while other cases will require a full excavation of the site and possibly even drain and or pipe replacement.

The drain patches that are used are fabric segments which are impregnated with an epoxy resin. These are then carefully placed into the drain or sewer on a pipe packer. Once the damaged section is reached, the pressure is set so the packer matches to the inside of the pipe. The patch is held securely in place until the resin cures properly. The inflation packer is then deflated and withdrawn. The patch is left in place forming a smooth and very strong bond with the existing pipe, this provides a reliable structural repair.

The great thing about drain patch repairs is that there is no need to reline long lengths of drainage pipework in order to reach one specific area. Faults can be repaired without the need to reopen pipe junctions using robotic cutting tools or excavating the site to access the pipework. This is particularly desirable if the pipework is beneath a patio that you don’t want removed. Due to the effectiveness of this method of repair, we can ensure that any defect that has been identified early can be repaired very quickly. This will prevent the chances of ground collapse or any other major disruption to the drainage flow.
