Drain Relining
Get in touchTitanium Drain Services provides professional drain relining services for residential, commercial and industrial properties. The company helps restore damaged drainage systems without extensive excavation, reducing disruption while extending the operational life of underground pipework.
What Is Drain Relining?
Drain Relining is a trenchless repair method that creates a new structural lining inside an existing drain pipe. Titanium Drain Services uses specialist resin-impregnated liners to repair cracks, fractures, displaced joints and root ingress, typically extending pipe life by 30 to 50 years.
The process restores structural integrity without removing large sections of ground, making it suitable for properties where excavation would be disruptive or costly.
What Types of Drain Relining Are Available?
Drain Relining includes several repair methods designed for different drainage defects. Titanium Drain Services assesses drainage systems and recommends a relining solution based on pipe condition, diameter and defect location.
Full Length Drain Relining – Creates a continuous liner throughout an entire pipe section.
Patch Drain Relining – Repairs isolated defects within a specific area of the drain.
Cured-In-Place Pipe Relining – Uses resin liners cured to form a durable new pipe wall.
Lateral Drain Relining – Repairs branch connections and smaller drainage lines.
Root Damage Relining – Restores drains after root ingress has been removed.
When Is Drain Relining Needed?
Drain Relining becomes necessary when drains suffer structural defects but remain suitable for trenchless restoration. Titanium Drain Services identifies drainage issues using CCTV inspection equipment before recommending relining solutions.
Common reasons for relining include:
Cracked drain pipes.
Fractured joints.
Minor pipe deformation.
Root ingress damage.
Water infiltration.
Repeated drainage blockages.
Age-related pipe deterioration.
Many relining projects can prevent the need for excavation, reducing disruption by up to 80% compared with traditional replacement methods.
How Does Drain Relining Work?
Drain Relining follows a structured process that restores damaged pipework internally. Titanium Drain Services completes relining projects using specialist inspection, cleaning and curing equipment.
Conduct a CCTV drain survey.
Clean the drainage system using jetting equipment.
Measure and prepare the liner.
Insert the resin-saturated liner into the pipe.
Inflate or position the liner correctly.
Cure the liner to form a new pipe structure.
Perform a final CCTV inspection.
Most relining projects can be completed within 1 day, depending on pipe length and accessibility.
