FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional drain excavation and pipe replacement services in Lancashire.

How do I know if my drain has collapsed and needs digging up?

+

Common signs include recurring blockages that won't go away with jetting, patches of very lush grass in the garden, cracks appearing in nearby walls, or a persistent smell of sewage. A CCTV survey is the only way to confirm a collapse for certain.

Will my driveway be ruined if you have to excavate?

+

We aim to be as surgical as possible. We only dig where it is absolutely necessary. Once the pipe is replaced, we backfill and can often reinstate the surface. During our initial assessment, we will discuss exactly how much disruption to expect.

How long does a typical pipe replacement take?

+

Most domestic drain repairs take between one and three days, depending on the depth of the pipe and the type of ground we are digging through. We will give you a specific timeline before we start.

Do you handle the paperwork for United Utilities?

+

If the fault is on a public sewer or a shared lateral drain, we can advise you on how to contact United Utilities. We can also provide the CCTV footage as evidence to help speed up their response.

Is excavation covered by my home insurance?

+

Many buildings insurance policies cover "accidental damage" to underground services. This often includes things like root ingress or collapsed pipes. We can provide the technical reports and images your insurer will need to process a claim.
