Sewer Pipe Relining in Bruntsfield

Why Bruntsfield keeps us busy

Every working week we are somewhere in Bruntsfield, often within a short walk of Bruntsfield Links and the Meadows. The building stock here has its own character, and the ground beneath it has its own habits. Knowing both is the difference between a fix that lasts and a repair you have to revisit.

Bruntsfield's long sandstone tenements are well built, but the bay windows on the corner blocks rotate forward as the underlying clay shrinks each summer. Crack stitching and targeted underpinning are the usual mix here.

Sewer Pipe Relining done properly

A CCTV survey has flagged root ingress, a fracture or a partial collapse, and the pipe runs under a finished floor or a stone-paved garden. Excavation means lifting flagstones, cutting through screed, disposing of contaminated spoil, then reinstating everything. Costs run away quickly, and the property is out of action for days.

Reline it. A resin-soaked liner is inverted into the host pipe, cured in place under pressure, and trimmed at each end. The pipe is back in service the same day, with a smooth bore and no joints for roots to find.

Three things Bruntsfield owners get from us

• Local context. We know which streets in Bruntsfield sit on made ground, which ones drain badly, and which ones have a tree problem. The first visit reflects that.
• Engineer-signed work. Every scheme we put in is signed off by a chartered structural engineer before any tools come out of the van.
• Reports your insurer recognises. Cause, scheme, photographs, costs. The format the loss adjusters in this city already know.
