What Causes Drains to Fail?

  • Age-related deterioration: Older drainage systems naturally weaken and become more susceptible to cracks.
  • Root intrusion: Tree roots can exploit even the smallest defects before expanding and causing more serious damage.
  • Ground movement: Soil movement can place pressure on underground pipes, leading to fractures and displaced joints.
  • Heavy surface traffic: Vehicles repeatedly travelling over buried drains can contribute to structural failure.

Warning Signs to Look Out For

  • Recurring blockages: Frequent drainage problems often point towards damaged rather than simply blocked pipework.
  • Persistent drain odours: Escaping wastewater can create unpleasant smells around your property.
  • Water draining slowly: Reduced flow throughout the drainage system may indicate structural defects.
  • Wet areas in the garden: Water collecting above buried drains can suggest leaking pipework.
  • Uneven paving: Sunken paths or driveways may result from damaged drains washing away supporting ground.

Professional Drain Repair from Start to Finish

Every repair begins with a thorough assessment to locate the damaged section of pipework and determine the most effective repair method.

2. Trenchless Drain Repairs

Where suitable, we repair damaged drains internally using modern lining techniques that avoid unnecessary excavation while restoring structural strength.

If the drain has collapsed or suffered extensive damage, we excavate the affected section and replace it with new, durable drainage pipework.

Following completion, we can inspect the repaired drain using CCTV equipment to ensure everything is flowing correctly and the repair has been successfully completed.
