Birnie Plumbing and Drains has been expertly lining sewer and drain lines since 1998, utilizing the Canadian made Formadrain technology. Formadrain uses a “cured-in-place” method of sewer lining, whereby a special balloon wrapped in fibreglass and resin is put into your sewer line, the balloon is then inflated to press against the walls of your current sewer line. Next the sewer line is “baked” with steam to cure the resin, and once cured the balloon is deflated and removed. This provides you with a sewer line that does not have any joints– leaving you with a single solid pipe from your property line to your home. What’s special about this method is that it offers outstanding protection against root infiltration, as roots typically seek out joints in a sewer line to force their way into the system.
The best part? This process is so efficient our team is usually “in-and-out” within one day! If your sewer is open and functioning, then Formadrain lining is a great option for protecting your home. However, for collapsed sewer lines excavation will be necessary. Either way, we’ll always give you a clear and transparent quote, explaining exactly what is being done—from arrival to clean-up, you’ll know exactly what you’re getting from Birnie Plumbing and Drains. Our work is never subcontracted, and always complies with local regulations and is always fully legal and permitted by the municipality.
Formadrain also comes with a 25-year lifespan, making it a cost effective and convenient approach to sewer line repair in instances where excavation and full pipe replacement is not necessary.
