Pipe Relining North Shore

You've got a broken or burst pipe, and you need it fixed quickly. Broken pipes are an emergency situation that can cause serious damage to your property if left unrepaired for too long. The longer you wait, the more expensive it gets. When damage occurs in a pipe, external debris such as roots, soil, rocks, and other plant matter can enter, creating a stubborn blockage. As pipes are typically hidden underground, accessing them used to be a challenging, disruptive process. However, with advancements in how plumbers approach pipe problems, such as CCTV and no-dig pipe repairs, this situation has changed. No dig is a cutting-edge technology allowing plumbers to repair a damaged or broken pipe by relining it with an epoxy-soaked membrane that hardens to create a pipe lining. Even the most difficult-to-reach pipes under concrete slabs or beautifully landscaped lawns and gardens can be repaired without damaging the ground. If pipe issues are causing headaches, contact our expert drainage plumber today to restore your North Shore home or business plumbing system.

Backyard Drainage North Shore

Do you avoid going outside due to the unpleasant, soggy mess that greets you? Having a lovely backyard that is inviting is something our plumbers are dedicated to helping you achieve. There are various drainage solutions that give pooling water somewhere to go. At GRH Plumbing, we design the perfect solution that will ensure your yard has the drainage it needs. We can help transform your backyard into a dry oasis and one that you will want to spend time in. The two most effective backyard drainage solutions are

✔️ French Drain - French drain or agri drains are the perfect backyard drains as they both drain off surface water and the subsurface water in the top layer of soil, ensuring the roots of plants aren't drowning in too much water. French drains are unobtrusive and are often covered with grass or rocks, letting them blend in with the rest of your backyard.

✔️ Trench Drain - Trench drains are often referred to as channel drains and are designed to collect and redirect surface water. The difference is a trench drain is generally used for civil engineering and construction, whereas a channel drain is for landscape and residential contexts. Both are extremely effective and commonly used along driveways, patios, pool decks, garage entrances and commercial areas.

The team at GRH Plumbing will work with you to design and install a backyard drainage system that works perfectly for your North Shore property.
