Corsican Pipe-Drainage Doctor
Pipe lining expert in Corsica
Rehabilitation of your pipes without excavation work
In Corsica, the granite subsoil considerably complicates pipeline work. Digging a trench often involves a hydraulic rock breaker, vibrations that threaten stone walls, noise loud enough to wake the maquis shrubland, and a skyrocketing bill. Not to mention the steep terrain, narrow village access points, and perched houses where no excavator can reach.
Pipe relining bypasses all these obstacles. Jean-Marie accesses your pipes through existing inspection chambers and deploys a resin liner inside the damaged pipe. The resin hardens in a few hours, forming a new, watertight conduit inside the old one. No granite to break, no land to restore.
Granite. Digging a trench in Corsican soil requires heavy equipment (rock breaker, reinforced mini-excavator) and takes much longer than in softer soil. Pipe lining eliminates this step entirely: work is done inside the pipe, and the soil type is irrelevant. On the island, the price difference between lining and traditional replacement is often well over the 50% difference seen on the mainland.
Absolutely. The relining process generates no vibration, unlike rock breaker which can damage old masonry. Jean-Marie works from existing access points without touching your walls. The resin liner conforms to the internal shape of the pipe, regardless of its original material—centuries-old sandstone, concrete, cast iron, or even terracotta.
Yes. Based on the island, it travels both in Corsica-du-Sud and in Haute-Corse. From urban centers (Ajaccio, Bastia, Porto-Vecchio) to mountain villages (Corte, Vizzavona, Bavella), it adapts its planning to cover the entire island territory.

Previously, Corsican homeowners who wanted chimney lining had to bring in a contractor from the mainland. Airfare, accommodation, transporting equipment by ferry—the extra cost made it prohibitive. Now, everything is available locally. Jean-Marie Albertini is based in Corsica, and so is his equipment. He works from Ajaccio to Bastia, from Porto-Vecchio to Calvi.

A professional team lined 10 linear meters of my home. My pipe, damaged over the years, was completely restored. Everything is clear: seriousness and service.
I'd been told that the pipe in my pool was too badly damaged and had to be replaced. In the end, thanks to the liner, everything was repaired in just a few hours, without any breakage and without draining the pool. The result was impeccable, the team professional and very informative. A real relief.
