Drain unblocking and relining in Weybridge

Large gardens, mature trees and long drain runs. In Weybridge the problem is often roots, and the answer is often relining rather than digging up a beautiful drive.

Trees, roots and long drain runs

Weybridge is known for its mature trees, from the woodland around St George's Hill to the big gardens off Oatlands Drive and the roads near the river. Those trees are thirsty. Their roots find the smallest gap in a drain joint, grow inside, and slowly fill the pipe until nothing gets past.

On bigger plots the drains can run a long way to reach the sewer, often under lawns, driveways and terraces. The longer the run, the more joints there are for roots to get into.

Repairs without lifting the drive

Digging up a resin-bound drive or a sandstone terrace to replace a short length of pipe is expensive and disruptive. In most cases we can avoid it.

We first cut the roots out with a root-cutting nozzle on the jetter, then look along the pipe with our CCTV camera. Where joints are open or the pipe is cracked, we reline it: a resin-soaked liner is put inside the old pipe and cured in place, sealing the joints so roots cannot get back in.

Around the rivers

Weybridge sits where the Wey meets the Thames, and parts of the town near the rivers have a high water table. Surface water drains can struggle in a downpour, and older foul drains can take in groundwater. We clear and survey both, and can tell you which system is causing the trouble.

Walton, Hersham and the Byfleets

Next door in Walton-on-Thames and Hersham, the drains are a mix of inter-war semis and newer infill homes, while Byfleet and West Byfleet have plenty of 1960s and 1970s estates now reaching the age where pitch-fibre and early plastic pipes start to deform. A quick camera look tells you which you have and what condition it is in.

Questions

Drains in Weybridge: asked and answered

How do I know if roots are in my drain?

Repeated blockages, slow drains and gurgling are the usual signs. A CCTV drain survey shows the roots on screen.

Will relining stop roots coming back?

Relining seals the joints and cracks the roots grew through, so they have no way back into the pipe.
