Why Choose Us for Drain Excavation in Wigan?

Understanding Your Drain Problem: Why Excavation Becomes Essential

Often, we can sort out blockages with high-pressure jetting or repair pipes with clever 'no-dig' techniques. But some problems are too severe for anything less than a full excavation. We're talking about badly collapsed pipes, extensive root damage that's shattered the pipework, or drains that have shifted so much they're completely out of alignment. Before we even think about digging, our team uses state-of-the-art CCTV drain cameras to pinpoint the exact issue and location. This means we only excavate where absolutely necessary, saving you time, money, and unnecessary disruption.

FAQ

Drain Excavation Questions

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

Q: How much does it cost to unblock a drain?

+

A: Our call-out fee includes the cost of our visit, diagnosing the problem, and clearing small blockages with rods. If more advanced equipment like high-pressure jetting is needed, we'll give you a clear, fixed quote before we start any work. You won't find any hidden fees with us.

Q: Are you really available 24/7?

+

A: Absolutely. Drainage emergencies don’t happen on a schedule, so neither do we. You can call us any time, day or night, every single day of the year.

Q: What is your 30-day guarantee?

+

A: If we unblock a drain for you, and the very same drain blocks again within 30 days due to a non-man-made cause, we will return to your property and clear it again, completely free of charge.

Q: My driveway is covered in moss and dirt. Can you help?

+

A: Yes, alongside our drainage work, we also offer a professional domestic driveway pressure washing service to get your paths and patios looking clean again.

Q: How do you know if my drain needs digging up?

+

A: We always start by using our advanced CCTV drain cameras. This lets us see exactly what's going on deep inside your pipes. If we find serious issues like a major collapse, extensive damage from tree roots, or if other repair methods like 'no-dig' relining aren't suitable, then excavation becomes necessary. Our expert team will clearly explain why it's the best solution for your drainage needs.

Q: Will digging up my garden or driveway cause a lot of mess?

+

A: We understand that excavation can be a concern. Our professional team takes pride in keeping disruption to a minimum. We're well-equipped and work efficiently, using the right tools for the job. Once the new drain is installed, we always make sure to reinstate your garden, driveway, or road to its original condition, or even better, leaving the site clean and tidy.

Q: How long does a drain excavation usually take?

+

A: The time it takes can vary quite a bit depending on the complexity and scale of the work. A simple patch repair might be done in a day, while a full sewer line replacement could take a few days. After our initial survey and diagnosis, we'll provide you with a clear timeline and keep you informed every step of the way. Our experienced team works hard to complete every job to a high quality and without unnecessary delays.

Q: What if my collapsed drain is under a road or public area?

+

A: Not a problem. Our team is fully accredited and experienced in handling drainage issues in all kinds of locations, including public spaces and roads. We manage all the necessary permits and traffic management, making sure the work is carried out safely and efficiently, with minimal impact on residents and traffic. You can trust our expert service to manage the entire process seamlessly.

Q: What kind of pipe replacements do you use?

+

A: We always use high-quality, durable materials that meet current industry standards for all our drain and sewer replacements.
