Drainage repair excavation with new pipework and inspection chamber in Macclesfield

Expert Drainage Services in Macclesfield & Cheshire

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.

Clearing stubborn blockages with high pressure

Sometimes a simple plunger just won't cut it. When you are dealing with years of scale build-up or a 'fatberg' caused by grease, you need something with a bit more punch. Our WJA-certified engineers use high-pressure water jetting to blast through the toughest obstructions. It is an incredibly effective way to clean the internal walls of your pipes, removing everything from uric scale to those invasive tree roots that love to find their way into old clay drains. It is safe for your pipework and far more effective than traditional rodding.

See exactly what is happening underground

Ever wondered why that one drain keeps blocking up every few months? Instead of guessing, we use state-of-the-art CCTV drain surveys to get a bird's-eye view of the problem. We feed a high-definition camera right into the heart of your drainage system to spot cracks, displaced joints, or collapses. If you are moving home near Haddon Hall or Matlock, our homebuyer drain surveys are a must-have. We provide a full structural report that can save you thousands in hidden repair costs before you sign on the dotted line.

Fixing pipes without digging up gardens

The thought of a JCB digging up your pristine Derbyshire garden or a heritage stone driveway is enough to give anyone a headache. That is why we specialise in 'no-dig' or trenchless technology. Using resin-impregnated liners, we can essentially create a brand-new pipe inside your old, damaged one. This patch lining technique fixes leaks and cracks with zero excavation required. It is faster, cleaner, and much kinder to your wallet. Why dig when you don't have to?

Upgrading old lead water mains safely

Many of the older properties around Bakewell and Ashbourne still rely on original lead supply pipes. If you are noticing low water pressure or you're worried about the health implications of lead in your drinking water, we can help. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we are qualified to replace old lead pipes with modern, blue MDPE pipework. We often use 'moling' technology to pull the new pipe underground, meaning we don't have to dig a continuous trench across your property. It is a smart, clean upgrade for any period home.

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.
