No-Dig Solutions for Damaged Pipes

Modern Pipe Repair Without Excavation

At Reactive Drainage Solutions, we specialise in no-dig drain lining and patch repair technologies that fix damaged pipes without the need for disruptive and expensive excavation work. Our advanced methods are perfect for addressing various pipe issues including cracks, leaks, root intrusion, and structural damage.

These non-invasive techniques allow us to restore the structural integrity of your drainage system with minimal disruption to your property, saving you time, money, and inconvenience compared to traditional repair methods.

Our Lining & Repair Techniques

CIPP Drain Lining

Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the damaged pipe, which is then cured to form a new pipe within the old one.

Creates a seamless, jointless new pipe within the existing pipe
Significantly improves flow capacity by eliminating internal obstructions
Expected lifespan of 50+ years
Suitable for pipes from 100mm to 1000mm in diameter
Can navigate through multiple bends

Patch Lining

For localised damage, patch lining allows us to repair specific sections of pipe without treating the entire length, offering a cost-effective solution for isolated issues.

Perfect for isolated cracks, holes, or joint failures
Fast installation with minimal disruption
Structurally reinforces the damaged area
Cost-effective for single-point repairs
Ideal for preventing escalation of minor damage

Junction Lining

Our specialised junction lining techniques allow us to repair complex junctions and lateral connections without excavation, preserving the integrity of the entire system.

Repairs complex T-junctions and lateral connections
Prevents infiltration and root intrusion at connection points
Custom-designed for each specific junction configuration
Seamless integration with main pipe lining systems
Eliminates weak points in the drainage network

Robotic Cutting & Patching

Our advanced robotic systems allow for precise cutting, preparation, and repair in pipes that would otherwise be inaccessible, extending our repair capabilities to complex situations.

Precise repair of difficult-to-access sections
Reopening of lateral connections after lining
Removal of protruding connections and obstructions
High-definition video feedback for accurate repairs
Minimal disruption to pipe flow during operation

Benefits of No-Dig Repair Methods

Our drain lining and patch repair solutions offer numerous advantages over traditional excavation methods:

Minimal Disruption No excavation means no damage to landscaping, driveways, or structures. Your property remains intact.
Cost-Effective Significantly lower costs compared to excavation and replacement, with savings of up to 50% in many cases.
Rapid Completion Most lining and patch repairs can be completed in a single day, minimising downtime.
Long-Lasting Results Our lining materials have an expected lifespan of over 50 years and often outperform the original pipe.
Improved Flow Capacity The smooth, seamless interior of lined pipes can actually improve flow capacity compared to old, rough pipes.
Environmentally Friendly Reduced excavation means lower carbon footprint and less waste material.

Our Lining Process

CCTV Survey & Assessment

We conduct a thorough camera inspection to identify the type, location, and extent of damage, allowing us to recommend the most appropriate repair method.

Pipe Preparation

The damaged pipe is thoroughly cleaned using high-pressure water jetting to remove debris, scale, and obstructions, ensuring proper adhesion of the lining material.

Liner Installation

The resin-impregnated liner is inserted into the pipe and positioned precisely at the damaged section using specialised equipment and techniques.

Curing Process

The liner is inflated to press against the host pipe and then cured using ambient temperature, hot water, or UV light, depending on the specific lining system.

Final Inspection

A final CCTV survey confirms the successful installation and proper cure of the lining, ensuring all connections are clear and the repair is complete.
