How Our No-Dig Repair Service Works in Reading

Simple, transparent, and professional. Here's how we handle no-dig drain repair in Reading.

CCTV survey

We start with a high-definition CCTV drain survey to pinpoint the exact location, type, and severity of the damage. No guesswork — we show you the footage and explain what we've found in plain English.

Cleaning and preparation

The damaged pipe is cleaned using high-pressure jetting to remove roots, debris, scale, and deposits. If needed, our robotic cutter removes stubborn obstructions. The pipe must be clean for the liner to bond properly.

Liner installation

A resin-impregnated liner is inserted through an existing manhole or inspection chamber and inflated against the pipe walls. It conforms precisely to the shape of the host pipe — no digging required.

Curing and final inspection

The resin cures and hardens to form a rigid, smooth new pipe inside the old one. We run the camera through again to confirm the repair is perfect, and provide you with before-and-after footage.

Drainage Challenges in Reading

Reading is predominantly a Victorian-era city with housing stock dating back to the 1800s, which shapes the kind of drainage issues our engineers encounter here.

Reading is in a hard water area, which means limescale build-up inside pipes is a common contributor to slow-draining fixtures and recurring blockages. Our high-pressure jetting effectively removes limescale deposits alongside fat, grease, and other debris.

The clay-heavy soil around Reading expands when wet and shrinks when dry, creating seasonal ground movement that puts pressure on underground pipes. This repeated shifting causes cracks and joint displacement over time, making regular drain maintenance especially worthwhile.

Reading's proximity to the River Thames means properties near the water often deal with higher water tables and drainage systems that can back up during heavy rain or high river levels. We regularly attend call-outs in riverside areas where these conditions cause problems.
