Within the intricate network of plumbing and drainage systems, issues such as leaks, cracks, and structural damage can pose significant challenges to property owners.

Recognising the need for robust and reliable solutions, we have emerged as a leading provider of drain repair services.

Our comprehensive approach delves into the complexities of drain repair, elucidating the common causes of drainage issues, and our innovative repair techniques provide multifaceted benefits for all of our customers.


Understanding Drain Repair


Drain repair encompasses a range of services aimed at addressing issues within a drainage system. These issues may include leaks, cracks, collapsed pipes, and other structural deficiencies that compromise the functionality of the system.

We adopt a strategic and customised approach to assess, diagnose, and repair drainage problems swiftly and efficiently.


Common Causes of Drainage Issues


  • Corrosion and Erosion: Over time, drainage pipes can corrode or erode due to exposure to water, chemicals, or soil conditions. This corrosion weakens the pipes and may lead to leaks or structural damage.
  • Tree Root Infiltration: The roots of trees and plants can infiltrate drainage pipes in search of moisture. As they grow, these roots can cause blockages, cracks, and even pipe collapse, disrupting the flow of water.
  • Ground Movement: Shifting soil and ground movement, whether due to natural geological processes or human activities, can result in misalignment, fractures, or collapse of drainage pipes.
  • Age and Wear: Older drainage systems may experience wear and tear over time. Aging pipes can develop cracks, leaks, or other structural issues that require repair or replacement.

Drain Repair Techniques


Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining:

Worsley Drains employs the innovative Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining method for non-invasive and efficient drain repairs. In this technique, a flexible liner coated with resin is inserted into the damaged pipe. Once in place, the resin is cured, creating a seamless and durable lining that reinforces the existing pipe.

Excavation and Replacement:

In cases where extensive damage or collapse has occurred, excavation and replacement may be necessary. Worsley Drains undertakes this process with precision, minimising disruption to the surrounding area while ensuring the new pipe is installed securely.

Patch Repairs:

For localised damage such as cracks or small leaks, Worsley Drains employs patch repair techniques. Specialized resin patches are applied to the damaged area, creating a strong and durable seal that restores the integrity of the pipe.

High-Pressure Water Jetting:

Before initiating repairs, Worsley Drains often utilises high-pressure water jetting to clean and clear the drainage system. This ensures that the repair process is conducted on a clean surface, optimizing the effectiveness of the chosen repair method.
