ExpressPlumbingandGas drain relining is a very effective way of repairing severely damaged drains by replacing a faulty pipe with a new flexible pipe known as a liner, without resorting to either the old fashioned method of digging or a more modern and economical technique called ‘wet trenching’. It is basically a type of wet trenching technology that uses a sort of flexible drain sleeve to cover a broken drain.
There are two main types of drainage pipe systems in use today; these are the buried (vertical) and the above-ground (horizontal) pipe systems. The former has been designed to withstand the weight of the soil, whereas the latter system is designed to cope with the weight of the water being discharged into the pipe. This is where the significant difference comes in between the two systems. The buried drain system is often subjected to constant pressure while passing through the earth while this is not the case for the above-ground systems.

Sometimes a common cause for pipes to break down is the constant pressure exerted by the pump. If this is the case, then the pump can be removed from the drainage system and replaced with a suitable pump, to relieve pressure. There are two main types of pumps – the water pump and the air pump.
The water pump has a variety of features including variable speed control, a safety switch, an automatic shut off timer and large tank capacity. All of these features make it easy to operate and maintain a water pump. A water pump is most useful in the case of a buried drain system because it can effectively manage the water level of the pipe.
An air pump is also useful for draining a leaking drain, but unlike a water pump, it is used to move air, not water. It has two or three nozzles on each end of the hose that force air into the pipe so that the pressure in the pipe is relieved. Air pumps are also useful in the case of a blocked drain, but not as effective as a water pump because they cannot control the pressure of water. In such a situation, a water pump is the best choice.

Drain lining is very cost-effective in the case of a blocked drain. It does not require drilling into the floor; there is no need to remove the existing drain from the wall or ceiling, no excavation is needed, and it can be performed with a minimum of disruption to the surrounding area.
