Drain Excavation & Installation
When a drain can’t be repaired, we replace it safely and with minimal disruption.
We carry out full drain excavations and new installations where lining or patching isn’t suitable. Collapsed runs, old clay pipework, or a brand-new system for an extension or new build, we handle it start to finish.
When excavation is necessary
- Collapsed or severely broken pipes
- Old clay or cast iron systems
- Poor gradient or incorrectly installed drains
- Extensions, outbuildings and new builds
- Relocating existing drains
- Root damage too severe for lining or patching
- Trap removal and replacement
We install
- Foul water drainage systems
- Surface water systems, including soakaways and gullies
- New manholes and inspection chambers
- Pipe rerouting for extensions or landscaping
- Connections to mains sewers (where permitted)
- Rainwater harvesting and attenuation systems
Signs you may need excavation
- Frequent blockages
- Sunken or flooded areas in a garden or driveway
- Toilets or sinks backing up with no clear cause
- Older properties with outdated drainage
- Builders needing new drainage for a project
