Sewer Lateral Repairs using Top Hat Systems
Do you have issues with broken drains, cracked pipes?
Top Hat Drain repairs are a cutting-edge solution for rehabilitating lateral connections in drainage systems.
Using this method, particularly UV curing, ensures efficient, long-lasting drain repairs without the need for excavation. At McBreen Enviro UK, we specialise in advanced trenchless solutions which restores structural integrity and flow capacity to drains quickly and effectively.
The ‘top hat’ liner is designed to seal off the connections, preventing water infiltration, root intrusion, or other forms of damage.
Using our epros® Top Hat Repair System with silicate resins we can repair connections directly from the main sewer. This drain rehabilitation/drain repair method permanently seals them and is WRC approved.
McBreen Enviro UK use these resin systems specifically for lateral sewer repairs on connections and short repairs. They are also easy to handle, so we can install them quickly. And they are known for their good mechanical properties and chemical resistance when cured. The patented two-component resin mixture consists of a resin and hardener. McBreen Enviro UK drain rehabilitation technicians are fully trained in the application of this drain repair method to ensure a trouble free long life span for sewers and drainage systems.
