Professional drain unblocking using high-pressure water jetting in Macclesfield.

Expert Blocked Drain & Water Main Services in Macclesfield

Why choose I Dig Drains and Water Mains? We provide rapid, reliable drainage solutions across Cheshire. From emergency unblocking and CCTV surveys to expert pipe repairs, we are the local team you can trust.

Powerful water jetting for those stubborn clogs

Sometimes a simple plunger or a bit of DIY rodding just won't cut it. That is where our high-pressure water jetting comes in. Imagine a pressure washer but specifically designed to navigate the twists and turns of your underground pipes. Our WJA-certified engineers use this kit to blast through everything from 'fatbergs' (that nasty mix of grease and wet wipes) to stubborn scale build-up. It's incredibly effective because it doesn't just poke a hole through the blockage; it actually scrubs the internal walls of the pipe clean. This means your drains don't just work again—they stay working for longer.

See exactly what is happening with CCTV surveys

Have you ever wondered why that one specific drain keeps blocking up every few months? It's frustrating, isn't it? Instead of guessing, we use state-of-the-art CCTV drain cameras to take a proper look inside. We can spot cracks, displaced joints, or those sneaky tree roots that love to find their way into old Victorian pipework. If you're currently in the process of buying a new home in New Mills or across the High Peak, a pre-purchase survey is a bit of a no-brainer. It can save you thousands in hidden repair costs before you've even unpacked your first box. We provide a full report and a clear explanation of what we've found, so you're never left in the dark.

Repairing your pipes without digging up the garden

The old way of fixing a broken pipe involved bringing in a digger and tearing up your driveway or lawn. Thankfully, things have moved on. We specialise in 'no-dig' repairs and drain lining. Essentially, we insert a clever resin-soaked liner into the damaged pipe which then hardens to create a brand-new, structural pipe inside the old one. It's faster, cheaper, and avoids the mess of a traditional excavation. Of course, if a pipe has completely collapsed, we're fully equipped to handle the dig and reinstatement too, but we always look for the least disruptive way to get the job done first.

Professional water main and lead pipe services

It is not just the stuff going away from your house that we look after; we're also experts in what's coming in. If you've noticed a drop in water pressure or a damp patch on the path, you might have a leaking water main. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we're qualified to work on your private supply pipes. Many older properties in New Mills still have original lead piping, which isn't ideal for health or water flow. We can replace those old lead pipes with modern MDPE ones, often using trenchless technology to keep your garden looking exactly how we found it.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our drainage and water main services in Cheshire

How much does it cost for drain unblocking in Macclesfield?

+

The price usually depends on how bad the block is and what tools we need to use. We always give you a clear, upfront quote before we start any work, so there are no nasty surprises when the job is done.

What are the signs that I need emergency drain clearance?

+

If water is backing up into your house, your toilets won't flush, or you can see sewage overflowing from a manhole outside, you need to call us straight away. These issues can cause damage and are a health risk, so they need fixing fast.

Who is responsible for fixing a blocked drain?

+

Usually, you are responsible for the drains inside your property boundary that only serve your house. If a pipe is shared with a neighbour or is outside your boundary, it often falls under the local water company, like United Utilities. If you aren't sure, we can help you figure it out during an inspection.

Can you fix a drain without digging up my driveway?

+

In many cases, yes. We use patch lining and full-length relining to fix cracks and holes from the inside. This "no-dig" method is a great way to repair your drainage system without the mess and expense of traditional digging.

Why should I get a CCTV drain survey before buying a house?

+

The last thing you want after moving into a new home is a huge bill for a collapsed drain. A survey lets you see the condition of the pipes before you sign the contract. If there are problems, you can ask the seller to fix them or lower the price.

How do I stop my drains from blocking again?

+

The best way is to be careful about what goes down them. Avoid pouring fat or oil down the sink, and never flush wet wipes or nappies. Regular maintenance, like a quick water jetting every few years, also helps keep everything running smoothly.
