Fibreglass Patching

Fibreglass patching is a method used to repair damaged or cracked drain pipes. It involves applying a layer of fibreglass reinforced resin to a pneumatic bladder and inserting into the affected area of the pipe. The resin then hardens to create a strong, durable, watertight seal.

The process typically involves several steps, including:

• Cleaning the damaged area
  The damaged area of the drain pipe is first cleaned and cleared of any debris or blockages.
• Preparing the fibreglass patch
  A fibreglass patch is then cut to the appropriate size to cover the damaged area.
• Applying the resin
  The patch is then coated with a layer of fibreglass reinforced resin and applied to the damaged area of the pipe.
• Curing the patch
  The resin is allowed to cure, usually for several hours or overnight, which hardens the patch and creates a strong, durable seal.

Fibreglass patching can offer several benefits, including:

• Cost savings
  Fibreglass patching is a more cost-effective solution than excavation or pipe replacement, as it requires less labour and materials.
• Quick and easy
  Fibreglass patching can be completed quickly and with minimal disruption, as it does not require excavation or the removal of the damaged pipe.
• Increased durability
  The fibreglass patch creates a strong, durable seal that can provide long-lasting results.
• Versatility
  Fibreglass patching can be used to repair a wide range of drain pipe materials, including PVC, clay, and concrete.
