Drain Lining in Lancashire

Finding out that an underground drain is damaged can be worrying, especially when the pipe runs beneath a driveway, garden or other difficult-to-access area. Fortunately, some types of drainage damage can be repaired from inside the existing pipe, without excavating the full length. The McCann Family Drainage Company provides drain lining solutions across Lancashire, offering a practical alternative to traditional excavation where the condition of the pipe allows.

Damaged Drains in Lancashire? Drain Lining Could Be the Answer

Drain lining is a method of repairing damaged pipework by installing a specialist liner inside the existing drain. Once correctly installed and cured, the liner forms a new internal surface within the original pipe, helping restore the integrity of suitable sections. Because much of the work takes place inside the existing drainage system, lining can reduce the need to disturb driveways, gardens and surrounding surfaces.

At The McCann Family Drainage Company, we’ll assess the condition of your drains and explain whether lining is a suitable repair option. Where appropriate, our engineers can use specialist equipment to prepare the pipework and install the lining. If the damage is too severe for a no-dig repair, we’ll explain the alternatives and help you find the right solution. If you need drain lining in Lancashire, get in contact with our team!

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Lining

Wondering how drain lining works, whether it could repair your damaged drains or how much it might cost? We’ve answered some of the most common questions below.

Drain lining is a method of repairing suitable damaged drainage pipes from the inside, without needing to dig up the entire pipe. Our engineers prepare the existing pipework before installing a specialist liner, which cures to form a new internal lining. This can help seal cracks, leaking joints and other defects, restoring the integrity of the drainage system where conditions allow.

In many cases, yes! One of the biggest benefits of drain lining is that suitable pipes can be repaired using existing access points, avoiding the disruption of digging up gardens, driveways or patios. However, some drainage systems may still require additional access work or excavation. We’ll assess your drains and explain the most suitable approach before any repairs begin.

It depends on the condition of the pipework. Drain lining can sometimes be used where tree roots have damaged a drain, provided the roots can be removed and the pipe remains suitable for lining. However, severely collapsed, displaced or structurally unsound pipes may require a different repair method. A CCTV drain survey can help us assess the damage and recommend the right solution.

The cost of drain lining depends on several factors, including the length and diameter of the pipe, accessibility, the extent of the damage and any preparation work required. Because every drainage system is different, our friendly Lancashire team will discuss your requirements, assess the problem and provide a quotation before any work is agreed.

Yes! Our drain lining repairs come with a 5-year workmanship warranty, covering qualifying defects arising from the installation work we’ve carried out. The warranty is subject to certain conditions and doesn’t cover unrelated existing defects or damage caused by external factors. Full details can be found in our Terms and Conditions, and your statutory rights remain unaffected.
