Repair Underground Pipes Without Digging

Ever wondered how to repair underground pipes without digging? You’re not the only one. No-dig pipe repairs are a well-established and proven method of repairing pipes. Maida has been fixing underground pipes without digging successfully for years.

The technology is called pipe relining. It can save you lots of time and money, and can be installed quickly, leaving you with a permanent solution to broken underground pipes.

What underground pipe types can we fix?

• PVC pipes
• Sewer pipes
• Stormwater pipes
• Clay and earthenware pipes

We can even repair underground pool pipes without digging. Our no-dig lining system can repair pipes from 40 mm to over 1 m in diameter.

How does the system work?

1. The drain is inspected with our CCTV drain cameras. We locate the exact position of the break using a locator.
2. We measure the amount of lining required to repair the underground pipe.
3. While the camera is inside the drain, we push to an exit point in the line to tie a rope on and pull back through.
4. Once measurements are confirmed and a rope is in the line, we impregnate a felt liner with a two-part epoxy resin.
5. An inflatable bladder is pulled through the (now “wet”) felt liner, then rolled up and taped for transport through the pipe.
6. Using the ropes in the line, we pull the liner into place and check its position with our camera.
7. The liner is inflated and left to cure until rock hard.
8. The bladder is removed from inside the pipe, leaving the newly installed liner behind, which has bonded to the host pipe.
9. All work is checked with a CCTV camera, recorded, and the footage is handed over to you.
