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 blocked drains and toilets

There’s never a 'good' time for a drain to block, is there? It usually happens just as you’re heading out the door or right before you’ve got guests coming over. We handle everything from that annoying gurgling bath to those messy outdoor manhole overflows that make the garden unusable. Using high-pressure water jetting, our WJA-certified team doesn't just poke a hole in the blockage; we clear the whole pipe properly. It’s about more than just a quick fix—it’s about making sure the flow is fully restored so you don't have to call us back a week later. From fatbergs in kitchen pipes to wet wipes stuck in the main line, we've seen it all and cleared it all.

CCTV surveys for peace of mind

Are you in the middle of buying a new home in Droylsden? Before you sign those final papers, it’s well worth knowing what’s actually happening under the garden. Our CCTV drain surveys use tiny, high-definition cameras to explore your pipes, looking for hidden cracks, tree root intrusion, or structural collapses. Most homebuyers we talk to find these surveys invaluable for peace of mind—and occasionally, they help negotiate a better price if we find issues that need fixing. You’ll get a full structural report that’s industry-standard, which is exactly what insurers or mortgage lenders need to see. It takes the guesswork out of your plumbing and puts you in control.

Trenchless repairs save your garden

Most homeowners dread the word 'drain repair' because they imagine their lovely driveway or patio being ripped up by a digger. We try to avoid that whenever humanly possible. Using modern 'no-dig' technology, we can often repair a cracked or leaking pipe by inserting a resin-impregnated liner inside the old one. It’s called patch lining, and it’s essentially creating a brand-new, tough-as-nails pipe inside the damaged one without ever lifting a spade. It’s faster, significantly cleaner, and much kinder to your bank balance than traditional excavation. Of course, if a pipe is totally collapsed, we can dig it out safely and reinstate the ground perfectly, but we’ll always look for the least disruptive option first.

Professional water main services

Still got old lead pipes feeding your home? Many properties in Tameside still rely on outdated lead supply lines, which can lead to poor water pressure or health concerns. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we specialise in lead pipe replacement using modern, blue MDPE pipework that’s built to last. If you've got a burst water main or a seized-up stop tap, we’re qualified to fix it properly and quickly. We even handle all the council paperwork and streetworks permits if we need to work in the public road, so you don't have to worry about a thing. Whether it's a small leak or a full new installation, we ensure your water supply is safe, clean, and flowing at full pressure.

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.
