Services
Drain Repair Excavation
Our drain excavation service addresses cracked or collapsed drainage systems caused by subsidence, root intrusion, or corrosion. Using precision equipment, we expose and replace damaged sections while ensuring compliance with building regulations. The process includes site assessment, health and safety planning, and full reinstatement post-repair. This solution guarantees long-term drainage reliability for both residential and commercial properties.
CCTV Drain Surveys
CCTV drain surveys utilise high-resolution cameras to identify blockages, leaks, or structural issues within pipework. Our iTouch Live network enables real-time data transmission for immediate analysis, eliminating delays associated with physical media. This non-invasive method provides detailed reports to determine whether trenchless repairs or excavation is required, ensuring cost-effective and targeted interventions.
Trenchless Technology
Trenchless technology allows us to repair or replace underground pipes without extensive digging. Techniques such as UV LED pipe lining and impact moling preserve landscapes and reduce disruption. This method is ideal for repairing pitch fibre pipes from the 1960s-70s or installing new pipework beneath roads and gardens, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional excavation.
High Pressure Drain Jetting
High-pressure drain jetting clears blockages using water jets up to 4000psi, removing debris, tree roots, and scale buildup. Our Jet Vac Combination Units and Van Pack Jetters tackle both domestic and commercial systems, including septic tanks. This method avoids excavation, complies with Water Jetting Association standards, and is integrated into our preventative maintenance programmes.
Pump Station Drainage
Pump station installations ensure efficient wastewater removal where gravity-fed systems are inadequate. We design and install single or dual-pump systems for homes, businesses, and septic tanks, including alarm systems for fault detection. Our services include 24/7 emergency repairs, refurbishments, and compliance with environmental regulations to prevent flooding and operational downtime.
