How Our Drain Excavation Process Works

We believe in keeping our customers fully informed at every stage of the project. Because digging up your property is a significant undertaking, we follow a strict, methodical approach to ensure minimal disruption to your daily life or business operations:Initial Assessment: We conduct a comprehensive CCTV drain survey and drain mapping to pinpoint the exact location and severity of the collapse.Safe Trenching: Our technicians carefully excavate the affected area, isolating the damaged pipework while protecting your surrounding garden, driveway, or commercial premises.Sewer Repair and Replacement: We remove the compromised sections and install highly durable, modern pipework designed to last for decades.Ground Reinstatement: Once the replacement is complete and thoroughly tested, we backfill the trench and restore your ground to its original condition.

If you notice any of the following warning signs, you may require a professional assessment to determine if an excavation is necessary:Persistent, foul smells that cannot be cleared with standard high-pressure water jetting.Frequent, recurring blockages or overflowing manholes on your property.Visible sinkholes, damp patches, or sudden lush grass growth in your garden.Subsidence or structural cracks near where your underground pipework runs.Whether you are dealing with a totally collapsed pipe or need a brand new sewer connection, our team is equipped to diagnose the root cause quickly.

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.
