Our Drainage Repair Methods in Croydon

When your property experiences drainage problems, you need repairs that are effective, long-lasting and cause minimal disruption to your home or business. Our Croydon drainage specialists use a range of modern repair techniques that allow us to fix most drainage issues without extensive excavation or damage to your property.

After conducting a thorough CCTV survey to identify the exact nature and location of the problem, we'll recommend the most appropriate repair method from our extensive toolkit of solutions:

• Drain relining - We can install a new pipe lining inside your existing damaged pipes without digging. This tough resin lining creates a smooth new pipe surface that seals cracks, fills holes and prevents root intrusion.
• Patch repairs - For isolated damage in otherwise sound pipes, we use localised patch repairs that seal specific problem areas without replacing the entire pipe system.
• Pipe bursting - This technique allows us to replace pipes by pulling a new pipe through the old one while simultaneously breaking up the damaged pipe. It is ideal when relining isn't suitable.
• Excavation repairs - When no-dig solutions aren't possible, our team conducts careful excavations with minimal disruption, replacing damaged sections of pipework with modern, durable materials.
• Junction repairs - We can repair or replace damaged junctions and connections between different parts of your drainage system using specialist equipment that minimises the need for extensive digging.
• Manhole repairs and replacement - Our team repairs damaged inspection chambers and manholes, ensuring safe access for future maintenance and preventing surface water ingress.
• Root cutting and treatment - For pipes damaged by tree roots, we use specialist cutting equipment followed by chemical treatments to prevent regrowth, protecting your pipes from future intrusion.
• Drain descaling - In hard water areas of Croydon, we remove mineral scale buildup that narrows pipes and causes blockages, restoring your drains to full capacity.

Each of these repair methods is carried out by our qualified drainage engineers with years of experience working on Croydon properties of all ages. We'll always explain the options available to you and recommend the most cost-effective solution for your specific drainage issue.

Common Drainage Issues in Croydon

Croydon's drainage systems face unique challenges due to the borough's historical development and environmental factors. The area's mix of older housing estates and industrial zones contributes to various drainage issues. Common problems include:

• Surface water flooding

  Heavy rainfall can overwhelm drainage systems, leading to surface water accumulation, especially in low-lying areas.

• Sewer blockages

  Improper disposal of waste and ageing sewer infrastructure can result in frequent blockages, causing backups and overflows.

• Collapsed or damaged pipes

  Older properties may have deteriorating pipes that collapse or crack, disrupting the flow and requiring repairs.

• Tree root intrusion

  Mature trees in residential areas can have roots that infiltrate and damage underground drainage pipes.

• Industrial waste impact

  Industrial activities in certain zones can contribute to drainage issues due to the discharge of waste materials.

Addressing these issues promptly with professional drainage services ensures the longevity and efficiency of the drainage systems in Croydon.
