Do drains need to be dug up to be repaired?

Question

Is it possible to have professionals repair a drain without actually digging them up?

Tim · Answer

Not always . Sometimes they can be structurally realigned depending on damage

Sten · Answer

Dig ups tend to be a last resort only if trenchless methods cant be carried out.  

With trenchless methods you have patch repair (to repair isolated defect) using inpregnated fibre glass matting wrapped around a packer and pushed into desired location and inflated. You also have CIPP lining and inversion lining for longer lengths of defected pipe.

Connor · Answer

Depending on the nature of the problem , offering patching or lining is an alternative to digging up a drain and replacing it, it also a cheaper option.

Ralph · Answer

No you can repair with a liner which goes inside your Existing drain

Dean · Answer

No they can in some circumstances be relined using a lining unit

Russell · Answer

In some instances digging is necessary.  But also lining can be used. This is were a new pipe is formed inside the old one.

Hi 

Yes it is possible depending on the location and type of drain.. Depending on the requirements some can be sleeved.
Some can be repaired in situ however the ground around it would need to be excavated to gain access to the drain and/ or  pipe work.
Hope this helps.
