Drain Repairs — frequently asked questions
How do I know if my drains need repairing?
Signs include recurring blockages, foul smells, damp patches on walls or ground, slow drainage, and sinkholes or depressions in your garden. A CCTV survey can confirm the issue.
Do you offer no-dig drain repairs?
Yes, we offer trenchless pipe relining which repairs damaged drains from the inside without excavation. This is faster, less disruptive, and often more cost-effective than traditional methods.
How long do drain repairs take?
Simple relining repairs can be completed in a day. More complex excavation work may take 2-3 days depending on access, depth, and the extent of damage.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
