Old and cracked drains can often be made fully serviceable without digging them out.

Always keen to innovate to improve their services, Direct Drains introduced the Red Line service in 1995 and has unrivalled experience of how this system saves time and money and is clean, quick and efficient. Just see what our customers say.

We can repair all pipe diameters and can normally work through manholes. If the manhole frame or slab need to be removed we have the civil works capabilities to take care of it.

A flexible liner is introduced into the defective pipe by an "eversion" process and hydraulically formed to fit the profile exactly, including the bends. The epoxy resin is then cured to form a strong, permanent, new, structural pipe fixed within the old one. Flow characteristics are greatly improved by the smooth surface. The properties of the liner can be controlled to provide the levels of resistance to corrosive chemicals and heat required by the application.

The system is guaranteed and approved by local authorities, by water companies, by insurance companies, by civil and drainage engineers and the many customers who have found it much cleaner, quicker, more efficient and cheaper than they dared to hope.
