How is it done?

Your drains will need to be thoroughly cleaned and inspected by an expert so that they can identify the problem. High-pressure water jets will remove any scale and a camera will be inserted into the pipe. Air inflation is used to shape the lining to the pipe, and it stays inflated until the lining has bonded to the pipe.
