Expert Sewer Connection & Approval in Wigan

Why Your Walkden Property Needs a Proper Sewer Connection

Every property, whether a cosy home or a bustling business, needs a reliable drainage system to manage waste water. Connecting directly to the public sewer network is usually the most efficient and environmentally sound solution. This ensures all your wastewater is processed correctly, avoiding potential health hazards and environmental issues that can come from inadequate or failing private drainage. We help properties across Walkden make these vital connections, giving you peace of mind that your drainage is handled professionally.

Navigating the Application and Approval for Your New Sewer

Getting a new sewer connection isn't as simple as digging a trench. You must apply for approval from the local water authority (United Utilities in Walkden's case) under Section 106 of the Water Industry Act 1991. This application requires detailed information about your proposed drainage, ensuring it meets all the necessary standards and won't negatively impact the existing public sewer network. We handle all the required paperwork and liaison, submitting your application and securing the necessary approval, so you don't have to worry about the complex process. We make applying for your connection straightforward.

Our Expert Process for Connecting Your Drains in Walkden

Once approval is granted, our skilled team gets to work. We begin by carefully planning the excavation, taking into account any existing utilities. Using modern equipment, we efficiently dig the trench to the public sewer, install new, high-quality private drainage pipes, and make the connection to the public sewer network under strict supervision. Every step is meticulously managed, from the initial dig-up to the final reinstatement of your land, driveway, or road. We ensure all new connections are constructed to the highest standards, ready for inspection by the water authority.

FAQ

Sewer Connection Questions

Find answers to common questions about connecting new or existing properties to the public sewer network in Wigan.

How much will it cost to unblock my drain?

Our call-out fee covers our travel, the diagnosis, and clearing simple blocks with rods. If we need to use the high-pressure jetting machine, we will give you a fixed quote before we start. You will always know what you are paying.

Are you really open 24 hours?

Yes. Drains don't wait for office hours to overflow, so we don't either. You can call us at 3am or on a Sunday afternoon, and we will be there.

What does your guarantee cover?

If we unblock a drain and it blocks up again within 30 days (and it isn't because someone has flushed something they shouldn't have), we will come back and clear it again for free.

Can you clean my driveway too?

Yes, we also offer professional pressure washing for driveways and patios to get rid of moss and grime.

How do I connect my property to the public sewer network?

To link up your private drainage to the public sewers, you first need to apply to your local water company. They must give their approval before any work starts. This is to make sure the connection is constructed properly and won't damage the existing network. We can help you with the technical information needed for the application.

What do I need to do before connecting a new house to the sewers?

You will need to submit a formal request to the water authority. They will check your plans to see how you intend to make the connections. Once they give the go-ahead, the work must be done to a high standard. In many cases, an inspection is required before the pipes are covered back up.

Are there charges for making a new sewer connection?

Yes, the water company will usually have application fees and infrastructure charges. These costs cover the administration and the impact the new connection has on the system. You will also have the cost of the physical work to lay the pipes from your property to the main sewer.

Can I connect my new drainage to an existing private sewer?

This depends on who owns the existing pipes and if they have the capacity for more waste. If the sewer is private, you will need the owner's permission. If it has been adopted by the water company, it is part of the public network, and the standard application process applies.

What is a build-over agreement and why is it required?

If you are building an extension over or near a public sewer, you must get approval from the water company. This is to make sure your new building doesn't put pressure on the pipes or stop them from being repaired in the future. A CCTV survey is often required to check the condition of the pipes before and after the work.
