Not every damaged drain needs digging up. Since no-dig relining has come a long way, many repairs that once meant a trench across the garden can now happen from a single access point. That is good news for the older terraces around Oldham and Rochdale.
Relining works by fitting a resin-coated liner inside the damaged pipe. Once in place, it cures hard. This forms a new pipe within the old one, without disturbing the ground above.
Relining suits cracks, small gaps at joints, and root damage particularly well. Since the liner seals the whole length it covers, it also stops roots getting back in through the same spot. This is a common issue in Edgeley and Romiley.
Full excavation still makes sense for a collapsed section or where the pipe has moved out of shape. A CCTV survey tells us which situation you are actually dealing with before any work starts. In particular, the footage shows the condition of the pipe along its whole length.
Both methods have a place. Relining means less disruption to gardens and drives, while excavation replaces the damaged section outright.
