DRAINS SERVICE

Have a stubborn blocked drain? Get it cleaned straight away with our high pressure jetting service. Unclogging block drains just gets simpler.

Repairing and renovating drains can now be done with the minimum of cost and disruption. Thames Plumbers have available a range of alternative, cost conscious solutions in addition to excavation. Drains and sewers may crack due to ground movement, subsidence, tree root infiltration, or corrosion - or they may totally collapse. The result is a structurally defective drain causing repeat blockages or leaks into the surrounding soil.

Whatever the problem, the most appropriate solution can be determined via our CCTV Surveying Service. This will detect the nature and extent of any structural fault, which will in turn assist the engineer in recommending the most appropriate repair technique.
Localine - Where defects are localised in a small area, this can be "patched" to produce a permanent high quality repair. Patches are applied by coating a fibre-glass mat with epoxy resin. The mat is then wrapped around an inflatable packer and pushed into position. The packer is inflated and the resin left to cure.
Section Lining - Where the drain is damaged along its length, the whole section can be lined. It involves the insertion of a lining "sock" impregnated with a polyester resin fibre along the length of the damaged drain. It is then moulded into place using air or water pressure and left to cure. The result is a new fibre reinforced pipe within the old damaged pipe.
