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.

Unblocking drains when you need it most

Is your shower starting to feel more like a foot bath? Or perhaps there's a gurgling sound coming from the pipes that sounds like a grumpy teenager? Blocked drains in Gatley are a common headache, but they don't have to be a disaster. Most of the time, it's just a build-up of fats, oils, or those pesky wet wipes that should never have been flushed. We use high-pressure water jetting to blast through even the toughest obstructions. Because our engineers are WJA certified, we know exactly how much pressure to use to clear the clog without risking any damage to your pipework. It's fast, it's effective, and it gets your home flowing freely again in no time. We handle everything from foul water sewage drains to surface water systems, so no matter where the blockage is hiding, we'll find it and shift it.

CCTV surveys for savvy homebuyers

Imagine you've just found your dream home near Gatley Park, but a few months after moving in, the drains start backing up. A traditional house survey often misses what's happening underground, which is why a CCTV drain survey is so vital. We send state-of-the-art cameras deep into the system to check for structural issues, root intrusion, or hidden collapses. You'll get a full structural report that's perfect for insurance purposes or just for your own peace of mind. It's not just for buyers, though. If you've got a recurring problem that keeps coming back no matter how many times you clear it, a camera inspection is the only way to see what's really going on. We can spot cracks, displaced joints, or even tree roots that have found their way into the pipes, allowing us to fix the root cause rather than just the symptoms.

No-dig repairs to save your driveway

The thought of having your beautiful driveway or manicured garden dug up to fix a pipe is enough to make any homeowner wince. Thankfully, those days are mostly behind us. We specialise in 'no-dig' technology, specifically drain lining and patch lining. We essentially create a new, tough pipe inside your old, damaged one by using a resin-impregnated liner. It's faster, cheaper, and far less messy than traditional excavation. It's like keyhole surgery for your drainage system. Of course, if a pipe has completely collapsed, we might still need to get the shovels out, but we'll always explore the trenchless route first. If we do have to dig, we handle everything from the initial excavation to the full reinstatement of the surface, and we even sort out the council streetworks permits if the job extends into the road.

Upgrading your water main supply

Are you struggling with low water pressure or worried about old lead pipes in your Gatley home? Lead can leach into your drinking water over time, which is why many of our neighbours are opting for lead pipe replacement. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we can replace that old lead with modern, blue MDPE pipework quickly and safely. This often results in a noticeable boost to your water pressure and gives you the peace of mind that your water supply is clean and safe. We also provide a rapid response for burst pipe repairs. If you've spotted a leak or a sudden drop in pressure, we can trace the leak and repair it with minimal fuss. From replacing a seized external stop tap to installing a completely new water main, we have the qualifications and the experience to handle your water supply from the street right to your internal stopcock.

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.
