No-Dig Drain Repairs & Rat Patch Solutions
Professional Trenchless Drain Repairs – No Excavation Required
At Reactive Drainage Solutions, we specialise in cost-effective no-dig drain repairs across Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, Hull, Grimsby, Doncaster, York, Sheffield, Halifax, Selby, Harrogate and all surrounding areas. Our advanced rat patch repairs and CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) lining technology allow us to repair damaged drains quickly and permanently — without the need for disruptive excavation.
What Is a Rat Patch?
A rat patch is a proven, long-lasting drain repair method designed to stop rats entering your property through the drainage system. Rodents often gain access through:
Cracked drain pipes
Displaced joints
Small breaks in clay or PVC pipework
Using a CCTV drain inspection, our experienced engineers locate the exact point of entry. A specialist resin-impregnated patch liner is then installed inside the damaged section of pipe. Once cured, the liner forms a strong, watertight seal, restoring the pipe’s structural integrity and permanently preventing rat access.
Rat patch repairs are ideal for targeted damage and are a cost-effective alternative to full drain replacement.
No-Dig (Trenchless) Drain Repair Technology
Traditional drain repairs often involve digging up driveways, gardens, patios, or internal floors. With modern no-dig drain repair technology, this disruption is completely avoided.
Our trenchless drain repair methods, including patch lining and full pipe relining, repair the drain from the inside. This approach:
Reduces repair time
Minimises mess and disturbance
Significantly lowers costs
Provides a durable, long-term solution

Our No-Dig Drain Repair Process
1. CCTV Drain Survey
We inspect your drain to identify the exact cause and location of the damage.
2. Drain Cleaning & Preparation
The pipe is thoroughly cleaned to ensure the liner bonds correctly.
3. Rat Patch or Patch Lining Installation
A resin-soaked liner is positioned over the damaged section and cured in place, forming a seamless internal repair.
4. Final CCTV Inspection
We re-inspect the drain to confirm a complete seal and full restoration of the pipe.
