We believe in the importance of using our products in conjunction with sewer repairs. If you experience a break in the pipes leading to your property, it is crucial to address the issue promptly. Ignoring it can result in further collapse of the sewer and exacerbate your problems. That’s why we recommend repairing the damaged pipes and considering the installation of a rat flap to immediately block any unwanted entry into your property. From there, you can assess the situation and consult with a drainage expert who can provide you with quotes for repair options such as pipe replacement or relining.
We understand that the cost of relining or repair can be substantial. That’s why we suggest exploring the possibility of making an insurance claim to help with the expenses. If repair costs are beyond your budget, rest assured that our rat drain flaps are a long-lasting solution. Crafted from stainless steel 316L metal, which is commonly used in marine environments, our flaps guarantee durability.
What Is Drain Relining?
Now, let’s talk about sewer relining. It’s a contemporary method of fixing damaged drainage pipes without the need for extensive excavation. Through the no-dig repair technology, a new pipe called a lining is inserted into the existing damaged pipe. This drain sleeve, reinforced with glass-like material, effectively repairs open or leaking joints, circumferential or radial cracks, and root intrusion issues commonly found in old clay drainage pipes.
Another related process is drain patch repair, which involves the use of a drain patch filled with epoxy resin. This patch is wrapped around a tool called a pipe packer and carefully inserted into the damaged section of the waste drain. After an hour, it is removed, leaving behind a fully repaired pipe. Drain patching is an excellent solution for minor pipe damages that do not require a complete relining.
