Drain Dye Testing

A Dye Test is performed by releasing a colour dye into the drainpipe, gully or inspection chamber that highlights any potential drainage issues.Once the problem has been identified, Drains IOM engineers will use their knowledge and experience to recommend the appropriate corrective action.The dye can be poured into drains to identify which drain is faulty. Its a process of elimination as there are many different colours so several tests can be carried out at the same time.Dye testing has many applications for instance if you have water getting into your property dye tests can be carried out to attempt to find where the water is coming from and of course pouring dye into your drainage system can identify a problem. There are other applications. Give me a call anytime and hopefully I will be able to help.

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bladder is then deflated and withdrawn, and the job is done.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.

Electronic Tracing - Foul And Storm Water Sewers and Drains.

Not sure where your drains go to or the actual course they take?
Have manholes become buried?

A transmitting sonde attached to a flex-rod is introduced into the sewer at an inspection pit, gulley, or pipe end and manually pushed down the pipe. Its progress is monitored and positioned above ground using a locator. The ground can be marked at intervals or mapped. Depth readings are also indicated.

Pre-Planned Preventative Maintenance Programme

Developed to spare Domestic, commercial and industrial clients the inconvenience and embarrassment of blockages, unpleasant odours, or health hazards, the Drains IOM pre-planned ‘preventative’ maintenance programme is a cost effective method of ensuring that your drains remain as clean as
your reputation.

What is it?
The programme is tailor-made to your individual requirements and offers planned maintenance of your drains, sewers and associated pipe work.

The idea is to keep the system flowing freely, so avoiding the problems associated with blockages and reduced flow. It can be applied to foul drainage, and process pipe work.

All pipe work is different, and the frequency and type of service depends on the amount of use the system gets. The substance being discharged, size of building and type and size of pipe work are all contributing factors to the effectiveness of the system.

How does the programme work?
The first step is to carry out a free site survey. Then we will analyse previous problems and isolate areas of concern. we will then recommend an initial ‘clean’ that will return the pipe work to full flow and optimum performance. A programme is then prepared showing which part of the system needs cleaning on a regular basis. Then, by prior arrangement and at a time to suit you, Engineers will carry out the scheduled work, ensuring a minimum of inconvenience.

The Benefits?
A pre-planned ‘preventative’ maintenance programme helps to avoid blockages that can result in damage to property and stock, the potential health risk from flooding, the obvious inconveniences and, of course, unbudgeted expenditure.

What’s the next step?
Arrange a ‘without obligation’ appointment.
