Damaged drain? Cracked pipe? Drain lining may be the answer.
Drain lining is a method used to repair and rehabilitate damaged or deteriorating underground pipes and drainage systems without the need for extensive excavation.
If you have cracks, leaks, corrosion or root intrusion we can reline your pipes.

How 'drain lining' can help your system
Drain lining, also known as trenchless pipe lining or CIPP lining, is a method to repair and rehabilitate underground pipes without excavation. A flexible lining material is inserted into the damaged pipe and cured in place, forming a new pipe within the old one. Benefits include minimal disruption to surroundings, cost and time savings, improved pipe durability, extended lifespan, reduced environmental impact, and versatility across various pipe materials. However, Clanville Draintech will always conduct an ispection first to determine its suitability for specific cases.

A non-invasive and efficient method for assessing the condition of drainage systems.
Drain lining is a method used to repair and rehabilitate damaged or deteriorating underground pipes and drainage systems without the need for extensive excavation. This technique is particularly useful for fixing issues such as cracks, leaks, corrosion, and root intrusion in sewer lines, stormwater drains, and other types of underground piping.
The process involves inserting a flexible lining material, often made of resin-saturated felt or fiberglass, into the existing pipe through access points such as manholes or cleanouts. This lining material is then inflated and pressed against the inner walls of the damaged pipe using air pressure or water pressure. Once the lining is in place, it is cured or hardened using heat, ultraviolet light, or a chemical reaction, effectively creating a new pipe within the old one.
The benefits of drain lining include:
1. Minimal Disruption: Since excavation is not required, there is minimal disruption to the surrounding environment, landscape, and infrastructure.
2. Time and Cost Savings: Trenchless methods like drain lining can be faster and more cost-effective than traditional excavation and replacement methods.
3. Durability: The cured lining material creates a smooth and seamless inner surface, which can improve flow capacity and resist future issues like root intrusion and corrosion.
4. Longevity: Properly installed drain lining can extend the lifespan of the rehabilitated pipes, offering a durable solution.
5. Environmental Impact: The reduction in excavation helps minimize the environmental impact of construction activities.
6. Versatility: Drain lining can be used in a variety of pipe materials, including clay, concrete, PVC, and more.
However, it's important to note that drain lining might not be suitable for all types of pipe damage or situations. Proper assessment by Clanville Draintech is crucial to determine whether drain lining is the appropriate solution for a particular case.

Q; What are Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) and how are they relevant to UK domestic homes?Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS) are innovative approaches for managing rainwater runoff in urban areas, including UK domestic homes. SuDS mimic natural processes to reduce flooding, improve water quality, enhance biodiversity, and promote sustainable water management. They incorporate features like permeable surfaces, rain gardens, and ponds to slow down and filter rainwater, reducing strain on drainage systems and enhancing climate resilience. SuDS are relevant to UK homes due to their potential to mitigate flooding, enhance water quality, and contribute to overall environmental sustainability. Many local regulations now require SuDS implementation for new developments, making them a crucial consideration in residential property design and renovation.

Q: What is Stormwater Attenuation and do I need it in my residential home drainage system?Stormwater attenuation is a strategy to manage rainwater runoff by temporarily storing excess water and releasing it gradually to prevent flooding and erosion. It's particularly important for properties with sloped terrain, heavy rainfall, proximity to water bodies, or urban development. Stormwater attenuation can be achieved using methods like underground storage tanks, permeable pavements, and infiltration basins. It's often part of sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) and can be required by local regulations. Consulting with drainage professionals helps determine if stormwater attenuation is necessary and which solutions are suitable for a residential property's specific conditions.
