PBF Drainage were contacted by a client with a very difficult job that needed completing.
The only feasible method of repair was using trenchless methods due to the block and beam floor running under the length of the house.
Rats had been getting into the void and after pest control had cleared them from the property, a repair needed doing which had to be done without lifting the floor.
Using various methods including vacuum tanker, low pressure jetting robotic cutting equipment, and mechanical equipment, the collapse and breaks in the pipe were cleared and tidied up. Any unstable pipework was secured using patch repairs, and then 2 full length liners were installed.
The duration of the works was over a two day period during some of the hottest weather this year. The site was cleared and the client left with a fully restored drainage system.
It all seems simple looking at pictures and discussing things over the phone, but once on site it took a great deal of patience, finesse and determination to get the works done and done to such a high standard.
Well done to the team on site and for taking care of the elderly client who was struggling in the heat during their time on site.
Another one off the table and onto the next one. For more information, contact us:

PBF Drainage were tasked with repairing a very difficult pipe running under a block and beam floor where rats had been causing major issues for the residents.
The pipe was DN100 vitrified clay and had been fractured and broken, either during installation or over time, with large sections of pipe missing and the pipe surround continually washing in causing the flows to backup.
Multiple other companies had tried to clear the collapse, which ran for approximately 8m in total, and then an additional 8m with severe breaks and fractures along the other sections.
Despite working through a very hot and sunny day, the team carefully removed the debris using a vacuum tanker, light jetting and mechanical equipment. The debris was removed and several patches were installed to secure the pipe during the cleaning process.
Any intruding sections of pipe and sharp sections of the pipe were cut back using a Hachler Climbolino E lateral cutter to prevent damage to the liner.
Once the pipe had been fully cleared, pre-liner was installed and two separate flexible felt liners were installed using Bluelight LED light cure equipment. The high strength and ease of installation of these liners prevented further damage and risk of total collapsed.
Once the liners had been installed, the Hachler Climbolino E that was hired from Bluelight Lining Ltd, due to its small size and very flexible cutting head, was used to reopen the connections to restore full flow of laterals from the sink and bathroom.
The entire system was then surveyed including all connections to make sure no other damage was present. The complete works took 2 days to fully complete, and the client was over the moon as the issues had been going on for the previous 12 months.
Well done to the team for getting the works done, efficiently, professionally and for taking care of the elderly client.

Most rising mains operate blind.

🤞No inspection regime.
🤞No internal testing.
🤞No monitoring.

They run until something goes wrong 💥 — and when they fail, the consequences are expensive, disruptive, and often environmentally disastrous.

These failures can go unnoticed for long periods of time, silently impacting residents and causing pollution to rivers, streams, watercourses, farmland, green spaces, and even high‑traffic urban areas. By the time the issue is discovered, the damage is already done.

This challenge isn’t limited to rising mains. pressure pipelines, process water pipes, and closed‑circuit fire mains all face the same reality: high internal stress, chemical exposure, and zero visibility of their internal condition.
Asset owners and contractors are increasingly specifying Acothane Waste Seal for pressure‑critical assets across the network.

Acothane Waste Seal delivers:

• Long‑term corrosion protection in high‑pressure environments
• Fully structural rehabilitation options for life‑extension projects
• Minimal disruption during installation
• Fast application and rapid return‑to‑service
• Reduced likelihood of catastrophic bursts and environmental incidents
• Lower whole‑life costs through extended asset life
• A seamless internal lining that removes weak points

Applicability across DN75 to DN2000 pipelines in lengths of upto 400m

When an asset can’t be inspected, tested, or monitored, the protection you install becomes the only line of defence it will ever have.

Acothane Waste Seal gives operators confidence in the pipelines they can’t see — but absolutely rely on.

PBF Drainage Services Ltd have the specialist experience, equipment, and capability to deliver these rehabilitations safely, efficiently, and to the highest standard — ensuring pressure pipelines are restored with confidence and long‑term performance in mind. ✔️
