Drains cop a lot over the years, and once something gives way underground, it doesn’t take long before you notice slow draining, smells or water coming up in the yard. We look over the system, work out what has gone wrong and repair the damaged section properly so the issue doesn’t come straight back. All work is carried out to current BCP plumbing requirements.
A lot of drainage problems start quietly. Tree roots can squeeze into tiny gaps, older clay pipes can crack and plastic drains can sag or collapse if the soil moves. Even heavy traffic or garden work can put pressure on the pipework.
We take a look at the layout of your place, the age of the pipes and any signs of past repairs, which gives us a good idea of why the line has failed.
To fix a drain properly, we need to know exactly where the trouble spot is. We often use a drain camera to check inside the pipe, look for collapsed sections, roots or anything else blocking the flow.
Once we find the break, we dig up that area only, remove the damaged pipe and replace it with new fittings. After the repair is in, we run water through the line to make sure everything is working the way it should before backfilling.
Some drains only need a short section replaced, while others may need more work if the damage has spread. We explain what we find in simple terms so you know exactly what is happening.
If the same spot has blocked a few times, we look at long-term fixes like changing the fall of the pipe, upgrading the material or moving the line slightly so it isn’t sitting under roots or pressure points. The idea is to fix the problem for good, not just patch it.
