Blocked Drain Repairs We Do
Fixing the underlying problem so your drain stays clear.
Collapsed Drain Repair
A section of drain pipe that has collapsed or crushed underground causing persistent blockages. We excavate the collapsed section, replace it with new pipe and reinstate the ground.
Displaced Joint Repair
A pipe joint that has separated or displaced allowing debris to catch and block the drain. We reconnect or replace the joint and test the drain for proper alignment.
Root Ingress Repair
Tree roots that have penetrated the drain through a crack or joint causing blockages. We cut out the roots, repair the pipe section and advise on preventing future root ingress.
Drain Crack Repair
A cracked drain pipe that traps debris and causes blockages. We expose the cracked section and replace it with new pipe. We check the rest of the run for any further damage.
Drain Patching
A localised repair to a small section of damaged drain using a patch liner or section of new pipe. Avoids replacing the whole drain run for a small defect.
Backfall Correction
A section of drain that has sunk or settled causing water to pool instead of flowing. We re-lay the pipe at the correct gradient so waste water flows freely.

Blocked Drain Repair FAQs
Common questions about blocked drain repairs
Why does my drain keep blocking even after being cleared?
Repeated blockages usually mean there is an underlying problem. Common causes are a collapsed pipe section, displaced joint, tree root ingress, a cracked pipe trapping debris or a section of pipe that has sunk creating a dip where water pools.
How do you know what is wrong with the drain?
We rod and clear the drain first. If the blockage returns or we feel a defect while rodding we can run a CCTV camera through the drain to see exactly what the problem is inside the pipe.
Will you need to dig up my garden or driveway?
We only excavate where the defect is. We locate the problem precisely first so we open the minimum area needed. We discuss the access plan before starting any excavation and reinstate the surface neatly.
How long does a drain repair take?
A straightforward repair on an accessible drain section takes half a day. Deeper drains or drains under hard surfaces take longer. We will give you a timeline before starting work.
Can tree roots damage my drains?
Yes. Tree roots seek water and can find their way into drains through tiny cracks or poorly sealed joints. Once inside they grow and trap debris causing blockages. We cut out the roots and repair the drain.
Is drain repair covered by insurance?
Check your buildings insurance policy. Some policies cover underground drainage repairs including excavation and reinstatement. We can provide a report and CCTV footage for your insurer.
