Drain Repairs

For expert drain repair services you can rely on, turn to our team here at Express Drainage Surveys.

We have the knowledge, skills and experience to carry out a range of drain services for homeowners, property managers and businesses. Whether you require drain repair, drain unblocking or drain installation, we have the answer and are here to help. Our drain repair services also include:

There are many reasons why your drain may require repair, ranging from constant blockages, ground movement due to expansive soils, water escaping and washing away the structural sub-base, tree root growth, general wear and tear, and much more. Fortunately, in today’s marketplace, drainage CCTV surveys are available to determine the condition and cause of such defects, enabling a speedy resolution to your problem. When old or damaged pipes are beyond simple repairs, digging down underneath the drain may be the only option.

A risk factor comes with any excavation. Non-expert ground workers who don’t know what they are working with are in danger of damaging the neighbouring property’s sewer, gas pipelines or electrical cables. In order to avoid damage to the drainage system in your own or neighbouring area, excavation work should be carried out by specialists. The professional team at Express Drainage Surveys is always ready to help you. We establish the root of the problem and find the fastest and most profitable solutions for you.

Whether you have a cracked drain pipe, suspect you have a collapsed sewer line or find persistent drainage issues plague your property, our professional drain repair team will get to the bottom of it.

How Our Drain Repair Process Works

If you’re wondering what the process is for repairing drains, the truth is that it depends on the extent of the damage and the type of drain line we’re dealing with. However, we’ve created a short overview of our process to help you feel better prepared for repairs on your property:

Our expert engineers carry out a site inspection at your home or business.
We then conduct a CCTV drain survey to fully understand the damage and to pinpoint the location within your system. Sometimes this may reveal multiple areas of damage.
With our years of experience, we analyse the footage, develop a diagnosis and then provide a quote for the recommended repair type required.
Once you have agreed to our quote, our engineers will carry out the repairs at a time and date that works for you.
When the work is complete, we then conduct post-repair testing to ensure lasting results from our services.

Without expert drain repairs, your system will not flow efficiently, and it may even be causing structural issues around your property. The leaking of wastewater is not only unpleasant, but can lead to health and environmental risks, so it’s always a good idea to try and resolve the issue without delay.

Drain Repairs For New Builds

Drain repairs aren’t exclusively needed for older properties; sometimes, new builds experience faults within just months of completion. Whether due to poor installation by the original developer, the use of inadequate materials or because the groundworks were rushed, a number of factors can lead to damaged or misaligned drains beneath your newly constructed home.

But don’t worry, because we regularly assist homeowners, builders and developers with the following:

Post-construction CCTV drain inspections
Repairing or replacing incorrectly laid pipes
Fixing faulty connections or joint displacements
Rectifying gradient issues that cause standing water
Repairing drains damaged during the course of construction
Removal of concrete from drains

Our engineers can use advanced diagnostic equipment to establish which elements of your new home’s drains require repair. We will then recommend the right course of action.
