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 jetting

Most homeowners we speak to have tried the old plunger or a bottle of shop-bought chemicals before they give us a ring. While those can help with a minor clog, they often just move the problem further down the line. We use high-pressure water jetting to actually blast away the root cause of the blockage, whether it's a build-up of kitchen fats or a 'fatberg' of wet wipes. Our engineers are WJA certified, meaning they’re trained to use this powerful kit safely. It’s the most effective way to descale your pipes and bring them back to near-original condition, preventing those annoying gurgling sounds from returning a week later.

Accurate CCTV surveys for peace of mind

Wondering what's actually going on down there? You shouldn't have to guess. If you’re dealing with a recurring problem, our state-of-the-art CCTV drain cameras let us see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. We provide a full structural report that identifies everything from cracks and displaced joints to those pesky tree roots that love to find their way into clay pipes. This is especially vital if you're looking at buying a property in Hale. A homebuyer drain survey is a small investment that could save you thousands in hidden repair costs before you exchange contracts. We’ll give you the honest facts and a clear plan of action if we find anything concerning.

Repairing pipes without digging up your garden

We know you’ve likely spent a lot of time and effort on your garden or driveway. The last thing you want is a team of workmen digging a massive trench through your paving to fix a broken pipe. That's why we specialise in 'no-dig' or trenchless technology. Using patch lining, we can essentially create a new, tough pipe inside your old one using a resin-impregnated liner. It’s faster, cleaner, and significantly cheaper than traditional excavation. If the damage is too severe and we do need to dig, don't worry—we handle everything from the safety of the site to any necessary streetworks permits with the council, ensuring the surface is reinstated perfectly when we’re done.

Expert water main and lead pipe replacement

Is your water pressure feeling a bit pathetic lately? Or are you worried about old lead pipes in a more traditional Hale property? As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we’re qualified to work on your private water supply pipes. We can replace old, degrading lead with modern MDPE blue plastic pipework, which not only improves your water quality but often gives your pressure a much-needed boost. From fixing a burst water main in an emergency to replacing a seized external stop tap, we ensure your home has a safe and reliable water supply. Because we’re approved, we can often sign off on our own work, making the process with the local water authority much smoother for you.

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.
