1. High pressure water jetting
Efficient drainage is never a problem until it stops working. All drainage systems need cleaning at some point in time. Scale, silt, fat,grease and even tree or plant roots inevitably accumulate, reducing capacity and flow, and can even cause a total blockage.
High pressure water jetting is an effective cleaning
technique for use in drains, sewers and pipe work
systems. It can be used to remove relatively soft silt
or hard solid-set substances such as scale or cement.
Blockages in drains, sewers and stack pipes can be cleaned using this highly effective technique. Powerful jets of water developing pressures of up to 3600 psi strip deposits from pipe walls, flush out debris and restore free-flowing conditions.
High pressure water jetting can also be used to ensure
that process pipe work is clean and clear of
obstructions. Naturally, when scale and residue build
up, manufacturing efficiency declines. Using specialist
equipment, pressures of up to 3600 psi are used to cut
through blockages and remove seemingly solid deposits
from pipe walls.
Boiler scale, polymer resins, carbon deposits, milk scale and even concrete can be prized away from pipe walls.
Help full hints before you engage a drain specialists services.
Check that the operator has had correct training, Jetters operate at very high pressure
and can be very dangerous to the operator, other people and surrounding property if used incorrectly.
The operation of the jetter nozzle should take place at the chamber or pipe to be cleared and not at the
Jetter unit unless two people are working together.
There are maximum pressures that should be used, which vary depending on the material the drain is constructed from , Remedial work can be detrimental if carried out in correctly.
Health and safety is paramount.

Electro-mechanical cleaning is ideal for the removal of
hard substances, such as uric scale, limescale and
concrete residue. It is often used within buildings, in
soil and vent pipes, and primary pipe work servicing
sinks and urinals.
Powerful cutters are connected to steel sprung cables, which are fed from a rotating drum into the pipe work. This technique can be used in pipe work ranging in diameter from 25mm to 225mm.

3. CCTV SurveyingWhen structural problems are suspected in drains and pipe work they need to be accurately identified and diagnosed. The more accurate the diagnosis, the more accurate the solution. That’s the philosophy behind Drains IOM Close Circuit Television Surveys.
Specially developed state-of-the-art camera technology,
which produces high quality colour pictures, allows the
engineer to take a ‘close-up’ look at the
inside of drains, pipes and sewers. These surveys
identify the cause and nature of blockages whilst
checking for internal conditions and pipe work integrity.
The camera is propelled through the pipe work by a
semi-rigid rod.
Pipes with internal diameters ranging from 75mm to 250mm can be inspected and the results used to determine the most practical and cost-effective method of repair.
The camera findings are displayed on a screen along with its exact position within the pipe. These pictures, along with full written text, are recorded on a standard VHS format video to substantiate the survey report for later fault analysis. Also available in DVD format.
If required surveys come complete with a fully comprehensive report. The report identifies the most economical and cost effective method of repair.
Quick and accurate problem identification makes a major contribution to fast, efficient and cost effective maintenance.

4.Drain Renovation and Patch Liners
Non disruptive, environment friendly.
Patch liners ( Permanent Localised Structural Repair ) cured-in-place repair (CIPR) .
The cost-effective alternative
Patch liners can be used to repair localised damage where full
end-to-end lining would be unnecessary. This method involves placing
a piece of impregnated matter on an elongated inflatable bladder and
guiding it into place with the help of a CCTV camera. When it is
precisely located, the bladder is inflated, pressing the patch into
place. The pressure is maintained until the patch has cured, the
bladder is then deflated and withdrawn, and the job is done. Patch
liners are becoming increasingly popular for dealing with isolated
defects, offering a cost-effective alternative to a full liner or
other repair such as digging up the drain or sewer.
Guaranteed for 10yrs and tested and fit for use for in excess of 50yrs.
Lining (CIPP) cured-in-place pipe
A renovation technique in which a resin-impregnated liner is placed inside
a drain and cured in-situ. It may be full length,where it starts
and finishes at an access chamber, or part-length,where it starts at a
chamber and finishes part way along a drain.
