Tapco HomeDry.com have been established since 1971 and are London and the Home Counties premier drain surveyors and repair company. We carry out a full domestic and commercial  CCTV drain surveys, unblocking, drain repair and structural resin drain lining service. To most people a drainage system is ‘out of sight out of mind’ and the problems that leaking drains can cause is totally under estimated until a major problem occurs. A drain can leak water and over a period of time can de-stable the soil around the foundations of your property and cause major structural problems that can result in your property needing structural underpining. Leaking drains or blocked drains can also cause damp penetration inside your ground floor rooms causing further costly damage or decay. Your drainage system is the only means of extracting foul and waste water away from you property and if you suspect that there might be a problem you should call us immediately to investigate the problem.

The Symptoms of leaking or blocked drains

You may have noticed that your toilet is not flushing properly or the water from your sink or hand basin is not discharging or discharging slowly. You may have also noticed that the area around the manhole cover is often wet and there is a bad odour. The chances are you have a leaking drain or a blocked drain. This should not be ignored and you should call Tapco HomeDry.com without delay.
We have specialised vehicles in London & the Home Counties with very powerful jet-washing and de-scaling equipment to quickly clear blocked drains. The most up to date CCTV drain survey cameras are used to carry out an in-depth drain survey inside the pipes. This will highlight any defects like blocked pipes, cracked pipes and leaks within the drainage system that may need attention and repairs can be carried out immediately. A detailed written report will be issued, together with a dvd and our estimate for carrying out repairs.

In most cases leaking drains can be repaired in one day by installing a structural resin drain liner within the pipes. The drain liner is coated in resin and inserted into the damaged pipe by our experienced technicians who then insert an inflator tube, which remains in place until the resin drain liner has cured. The tube is then removed and the pipe is left with a very strong and resilient drain liner, in the process saving hundreds of pounds by not having to excavate and replace drains.

On occasion, when a drain has collapsed, there may be no choice but for us to excavate and replace the damaged drain. We can also build new inspection chambers, soak-aways and gullies. Whatever the problem Tapco HomeDry.com will solve it.

In many cases, problems with leaking drains or blocked drains may be covered by your home insurance and if you wish, we will deal with your insurance company or loss adjuster for you.

  • Testimonials:
  • I had to write to tell you how pleased we are to be back in possession of our house following the flooding in July. Your team worked very hard on our behalf and made what can only be discribed as a nightmare situation when it happened into an organised project that went smoothly from start to finish. We are very pleased with the end result and would like to thank everyone at Tapco for a great job including your office staff for dealing with our insurance company for us.
