Benefits of No Dig Trenchless Drain and Pipe Repairs


This remarkable technology saves home and business owners thousands of pounds and acres of landscaping every year, but you might not be familiar with the benefits of trenchless “No Dig” pipe repair. Here are five reasons this process leaves traditional water and sewer line repairs in the dust.

You Save Money Three Ways 

It doesn’t take a full crew of technicians to handle trenchless repairs, so you save on labor costs. You also save the time of master plumbers on the clock because the process is efficient and finishes up much more quickly than traditional techniques. Your new water or sewer line will last for years, and that saves the expense of future repairs.

Trenchless Repairs Pipes and Drains

The trenchless “No Dig” process restores damaged water and sewer lines with special epoxy-treated material that bonds with existing pipe. This proven process creates a barrier that resists cracking and root invasion for years longer than traditional materials. The lining never rusts or accumulates hard water buildup, and it actually improves flow capacity.

Less Downtime 

The time it takes to dig trenches, pull up damaged pipes, lay in replacements and finish the job averages two weeks. Throughout this, you have to make different living arrangements or to cordon off company property as the process can shut down business operations. Trenchless “No Dig” pipe repair only takes one or two days from start to finish, so you return to the house and the office in far less time.

The Landscape Doesn’t Change

Digging up pipe in the yard or around your commercial building means tearing up lawns and uprooting shrubs. It’s a messy job that can ruin grass because sewer line replacements can contaminate surrounding soil and cause long-term turf problems. Trenchless “No Dig” technology spares your landscape’s natural good looks and helps preserve its health. Having to deal with commercial plumbing repair can provide a lot of discomfort for many businesses who rely on getting sales on a daily basis.

Infrastructure Stays Safe and Sound 


Excavating pipe under parking lots doesn’t attract customers, and pulverizing the patio doesn’t improve relaxing in the backyard. Traditional replacement techniques pose structural hazards to home and building foundations, but trenchless pipe repairs spare expensive infrastructure like sidewalks, loading docks and commercial driveways.

No Dig Trenchless Drain Repairs

No Dig Trenchless Drain Repairs

Drain repairs and pipe renovation without the need to dig trenches. Our methods and latest equipment repair cracked pipes and repair drains in as little as a couple of hours.

If you have a partially collapsed drain that's cracked and/or a worn out or damaged sewer drain pipe, give us a call on Call 01934 42446 or send a message via the Contact Form.

Cal Services provide no-dig trenchless technology as a non intrusive solution to disrupting traffic when usual repair methods would be to dig down to the drain and repair by hand.

The methods we implement mean little or zero excavation and works exceptionally well for drainage pipes, residential or commercial seweage piping and industrial buildings / business parks.

No Dig Trenchless Pipe Repairs - How Does It Work?


No dig or trenchless technology is an innovative non intrusive methos of repairing a drain pipe by installing an inflatable fibreglass liner baloon inside the damaged pipe. The liner is then inflated inside the pipe and left to cure, effectively so that it creating a new pipe inside the old one at the specific point of the damage.

Drain Cameras and New Technology

We use industry leading specific cameras and feed them down the pipes to research and establish the structural condition of the drain in question and locate the damagaged area(s). Before the inflatable film is fed in to the drain, we clean the pipes and sewers in advance with high pressure water streams.

This ensures avoiding any cracks or damaged areas are cleaned, descaled, and all dirt or built up sluge are washed away.  It's at this point we feed the inflatable fibreglass balloon down the pipe to the required area and fill the balloon with air to snugly fit the affected area and effectively coat and protect cracks and damage. The drying time for the liner to set is around 60 minutes,

So, instead of facing the costs of replacing drainage pipes and usual methods of excavation Cal Services repair pipes by remotely installing a new liner into the existing pipe en situ. The methods we use are also kinder to the envoronment by eliminating the need for digging trenches and using fuel guzzling plant equipment, our no-dig technology methods are a much faster greener and cleaner solution.

About Us

Cal Services Company History and Experience


The company founders and Directors, Ken Jones and Richard Wood first met whilst employed at a local radio detections and wound components company locally in the Bristol area back 1987. Ken joined the company on the old Government YTS (Youth Training Scheme) so was trained from the very beginning and worked alongside Richard.

Ken progressed within the company, changing departments to Electronics and wound components then over to Radio Detection for further training on how to service and refurbish pre-owned equipment. Over the years Ken progressed further to Supervisor, Assistant Manager and finally Production Manager.

Company Formation of Cal Services in 2004

Richard and Ken continued to work closely with each other and forged a strong professional and personal relationship together. So much so, in 2014 after 17 years of being an employee, a business opportunity presented itself which was very appealing and took great consideration.

Anyone who is a business owner understands the planning, fears and excitement of being self employed and responsible for company overheads as well as personal finances, paying the mortgage and bills on time.

Cable Locators New Build and Maintenance

The business opportunity was in essence perfectly suited to the skills of Ken and Richard, involving identical work and procedures that both have excelled in. A local company PACT Services were seeking a company to manufacture cable locators from scratch, then offer servicing and repairs of the equipment as and when required.  Ken and Richard essentially started Cal Services from a large shed on private property.

14 Year Anniversary in 2018

Nearly a decade and a half later, the company has progressed in leaps and bounds, from an old lean to in a back yard to a purpose built facility with 6 employees in Productions and Sales / Administration, plus of course the original partnership of Ken and Richard.

Company Certification, Training and Accreditation

To be recognised as one of the leaders in their field, Cal Services has invested in many certifications with big name manufacturers in the industry including TomKat, Lyca avoidance equipment and is an authorised partner EasyCat Series the cable detection company.
