Drainage repair excavation with new pipework and inspection chamber in Macclesfield

Reliable solutions for blocked drains, CCTV surveys, and water main repairs. Choose I Dig Drains and Water Mains for fully certified, fast, and transparent service across Cheshire.

Fast drain unblocking for Tameside homes

Nobody plans for a blocked toilet or a flooded patio, but when it happens, you need someone who can get to you quickly. Whether you’re near the town centre or up towards Hartshead Pike, we offer a rapid response to clear those nasty clogs. Most homeowners we speak to are worried about the mess and the cost, which is why we're always up-front about pricing. From fat and grease in the kitchen to tree roots causing havoc in your garden pipes, our team uses professional-grade kit to shift the problem for good. We're not fans of hidden fees either; you'll get a clear price before we even start the work.

High-pressure jetting for stubborn clogs

Sometimes a set of rods just won't cut it. If you've got a serious obstruction like a "fatberg" or heavy scale build-up, we bring out the high-pressure water jetting equipment. It's essentially a power wash for the inside of your pipes. Our WJA-certified engineers use targeted jets of water to blast away obstructions while keeping your pipework safe. It's the most effective way to restore your drains to "as-new" condition, and it’s far more thorough than just poking a hole through a blockage. Think of it as a deep clean for your drainage system that helps prevent the same issue from cropping up again next month.

Smart CCTV surveys before you buy

Moving house in Ashton-Under-Lyne? Before you sign on the dotted line for that lovely property, you really should check what’s happening underground. Our Homebuyer Drain Surveys are a bit like an X-ray for your future home. We send a high-tech camera down to look for cracks, root intrusion, or collapsed sections that the naked eye can't see. It's a small investment that could save you thousands in repairs down the line. We provide a full structural report that you can hand straight to your solicitor or insurance company, giving you total peace of mind before you exchange.

Trenchless repairs save your garden

The old way of fixing a broken pipe involved diggers, a massive mess, and a ruined driveway. We prefer a much smarter approach: "No-dig" technology. If we find a crack or a leak, we can often use drain lining or patch repairs to fix it from the inside. We pull a resin-soaked liner through the pipe, inflate it, and let it harden. You end up with a brand-new, tough pipe inside the old one without a single shovel hitting the ground. It's faster, cheaper, and way less stressful for you. Imagine getting your drainage fixed without having to replace your entire front lawn—that's what we offer.

Modern water main and pipe services

Ashton has plenty of characterful older homes, but many of them still rely on original lead water pipes. These can lead to low pressure or health concerns over time. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we specialise in replacing old lead supply pipes with modern, safe blue MDPE pipework. If you've noticed a damp patch on your lawn or your water pressure has suddenly dropped, you might even have a burst water main. We offer emergency repairs and stop-tap replacements to keep your Tameside home’s water system in top shape, handling everything from the initial leak detection to the final reinstatement.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

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

What counts as a drainage emergency?

+

If wastewater is backing up into your home, you can’t use your toilets, or you have a burst water main causing a flood, that’s an emergency. We offer rapid call-outs across Macclesfield to get these issues sorted immediately.

Are blocked drains my responsibility or the water company’s?

+

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’s often the responsibility of United Utilities. We can help you work this out during a site visit.

How much does a CCTV drain survey cost in Macclesfield?

+

The cost depends on the size of the property and how much detail you need. A basic look to find a blockage is different from a full written report for a home purchase. Call us for a quick quote based on what you need.

Why should I choose pipe relining over digging?

+

Pipe relining is almost always the better option if the pipe is still structurally sound. It saves you the cost of re-turfing your garden or re-paving your driveway, and the new lining is often stronger than the original pipe.

Can you fix low water pressure?

+

Yes. Low pressure is often caused by old, narrow lead pipes or a leak on your supply line. We can check for leaks and, if needed, replace your old pipes with modern ones to boost the flow to your home.
