Drain Lining in Plymouth

Small cracks and fractures often appear in older clay and concrete drainage pipes found in houses and cottages around Plymouth, Ivybridge, and Tavistock. These faults can let groundwater in or sewage out.

Drain lining seals these cracks from within, restoring the structural integrity of pipes beneath gardens, garages, or even Dartmoor stone walls, without intrusive excavation.

First, our engineers carry out a CCTV survey to pinpoint the damage. Pipes are then cleaned using high pressure water jetting to prepare for lining.

We insert a flexible resin liner into the pipe. It is inflated, then cured with either water or air until it sets hard, securing a watertight seal inside the drain.

All drain lining and pipe patch repairs by Plymouth Drains are covered by a written ten-year guarantee. This covers workmanship and materials for extra peace of mind.

Whether you’re in Roborough, Salcombe or Launceston, you can rely on our professional service and ongoing support should any issues arise.

Drain lining is typically advised when pipes have isolated damage, such as cracks, minor leaks, or joint faults. It's especially useful for pipes running under hard surfaces that would be costly to dig up.

If you notice signs like persistent blockages, bad smells, or damp patches, a CCTV drain survey can determine if lining is the right solution for your Devon property.

Tree roots are a common cause of damage in rural and village drains, especially where mature trees grow close to pipe runs in gardens or lanes. Roots can penetrate pipe joints, causing blockages and leaks.

Lining acts as a barrier inside the drain, blocking further root entry after any existing roots have been cut away with mechanical or water jet equipment.

Lining repairs drains underneath homes, driveways, and outbuildings in Plymouth, Looe, or Saltash—with no need for digging. It’s often completed in a single day.

This method is quieter, cleaner, and usually less costly than excavation. The new inner lining resists corrosion and root intrusion, extending the lifespan of your property’s drainage system.
