Drain Lining in Taunton

Older clay pipes and concrete drains in towns such as Bridgwater and Chard can develop cracks due to age or ground pressure. Even small fractures allow water to escape, potentially damaging foundations or causing subsidence.

Drain lining seals these cracks from the inside, preventing water loss and further deterioration. This method avoids the need to dig up driveways, lawns, or factory floors.

First, we use CCTV cameras to inspect the pipe and confirm the extent of the damage. With this information, our engineers thoroughly clean the drain to prepare the surface for lining.

We then insert a resin-impregnated liner, which is expanded to fit tightly against the pipe wall. Once cured, the liner forms a permanent, watertight barrier inside the existing drain.

Taunton Drains issues a written 10 year guarantee on all drain lining and patch repairs. This gives property owners in places such as Burnham-on-Sea and Minehead reassurance in the durability of their relined drains.

Should any problems arise with our lining within this period, our team will return to investigate and resolve the issue as part of the guarantee.

Drain lining is used when pipework is damaged but does not need full replacement. For Somerset households or commercial premises, issues like persistent leaks or ground movement often make this the most practical repair method.

If your drains are causing damp, unpleasant smells, or blockages, lining can provide a long-lasting solution. Our team can assess whether this service is right for your property following a CCTV survey.

Tree roots invading drains are common in Somerset’s rural and suburban properties. Roots seek out moisture and can force their way into joints and cracks, causing blockages and slow drainage.

After removing roots by high-pressure water jetting, we use patch lining or full-length liners to seal entry points. This helps prevent further intrusion and restores flow without major excavation.

No-dig lining avoids the mess and cost of excavation in gardens, driveways, or commercial yards. For property owners in areas like Ilminster or Wellington, this means repairs are completed quickly with little disruption.

The new inner pipe is highly resistant to corrosion and root intrusion. Water flow is restored to original levels, and the repair can often be finished within a single day.
