Drain Excavation and Repair
Our drain excavation service involves locating defective pipe sections and replacing them with minimal disruption. Using modern equipment, we handle both domestic and commercial projects, ensuring compliance with safety regulations. Clients receive a full site reinstatement post-repair, with costs starting at 85. This method remains our priority when trenchless solutions prove unsuitable.
CCTV Drain Surveys
We conduct CCTV drain surveys using iTouch Live technology for real-time diagnostics. This allows instant identification of blockages, cracks, or root intrusions. Survey data transfers directly to our office for immediate analysis, eliminating physical media risks. Results guide precise repair strategies, avoiding unnecessary excavation and reducing long-term costs for property owners.
High Pressure Drain Jetting
Our high-pressure jetting service clears stubborn blockages using equipment capable of 4000psi water streams. Van Pack Jetters and Jet Vac units tackle domestic and commercial systems without excavation. This method suits preventative maintenance programmes, keeping drainage systems operational while avoiding pipe damage from mechanical rodding techniques commonly used by less specialised providers.
Trenchless Technology
Trenchless solutions like UV pipe lining and impact moling eliminate the need for disruptive excavations. We rehabilitate collapsed pitch fibre pipes from the 1960s70s without garden destruction. Businesses benefit from uninterrupted operations during repairs. These methods reduce environmental impact and restoration costs, particularly valuable for properties with landscaped grounds or hard-standing surfaces.
Water Mains Repair
We specialise in water mains repairs using tracer gas detection to locate underground leaks precisely. Our approach requires only two access pits for pipe replacement, minimising surface disruption. Upgrades to MDPE piping improve flow rates for properties with low water pressure. This service extends to both domestic properties and commercial premises requiring uninterrupted water supply systems.
