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.

Clear your blocked drains fast

Nothing ruins a Sunday afternoon quite like the smell of a backed-up sewer in the garden. Is your toilet making a strange gurgling noise, or is the kitchen sink taking an age to empty? These are usually the first warning signs that a blockage is brewing. We handle everything from grease-clogged kitchen pipes to external drains choked with autumn leaves. Because we're right here in Congleton, we can often get to you much quicker than the big firms, saving you from a messy situation getting even worse.

Powerful water jetting for a deeper clean

Sometimes a set of drain rods just won't cut it, especially when you're dealing with stubborn fatbergs or years of scale build-up. That's where our high-pressure water jetting comes in. Our engineers are WJA certified, meaning they know exactly how to use the equipment safely and effectively. We don't just poke a hole in the blockage; we clear the entire pipe wall, helping to prevent the same problem from coming back to haunt you a few months down the line. It's a bit like giving your drains a professional valet from the inside out.

Smart CCTV surveys for peace of mind

Moving into a new home near the town centre or perhaps one of the newer builds out toward Eaton? A homebuyer drain survey is one of the smartest moves you can make. It's much better to find out about a cracked pipe or a root intrusion now, rather than after you’ve signed the papers. We use high-tech cameras to travel through your drainage system, providing a crystal-clear report of exactly what’s going on underground. If there’s a problem, we’ll find it, and we’ll give you an honest, no-obligation quote to put it right.

Fix damaged pipes with clever no-dig tech

The thought of someone digging a big trench through your lovely block-paved driveway is enough to give anyone a headache. Luckily, those days are mostly gone. We specialise in "no-dig" drain lining, which essentially involves creating a new, tough pipe inside the old one using a resin-soaked liner. It's faster, cheaper, and far less messy than traditional excavation. It’s the perfect solution for fixing cracks or leaking joints without ruining your landscaping. Of course, if a pipe has completely collapsed, we can still handle the digging too—and we’ll even sort out the council permits if we need to work on the street.

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.
