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 ease

Have you noticed a strange gurgling sound coming from the pipes or a nasty smell that just won't go away? Most of the time, these are the early warning signs of a blockage building up. While a plunger or some supermarket chemicals might help for a day or two, they often don't reach the root of the problem. We use high-pressure water jetting to blast through everything from solidified fat and grease to those stubborn tree roots that love to find their way into old clay pipes. Because our engineers are WJA-certified, you can rest easy knowing we’re using the equipment safely and effectively without risking damage to your drainage system.

Seeing the problem with CCTV

Sometimes, you need to know exactly what’s happening underground before you start any work. That’s where our CCTV drain surveys come in. Imagine you're about to buy a lovely new home near Clough Hall—the last thing you want is to move in and find out the main drain is collapsed. We use high-definition cameras to navigate your pipes, providing a clear structural report that identifies cracks, root intrusion, or blockages. It's the best way to get total peace of mind, whether you're a homebuyer looking for a pre-purchase survey or a business owner dealing with recurring drainage issues.

Fixing pipes without the digging

The old way of fixing a broken drain involved bringing in a digger and tearing up your driveway or garden. It was messy, loud, and expensive. Thankfully, technology has moved on. We specialise in 'no-dig' repairs, also known as drain lining or patch lining. We insert a resin-impregnated liner into the damaged pipe and inflate it; once it cures, it creates a brand-new, tough pipe inside the old one. It’s much faster and far less disruptive. Of course, if a pipe is completely collapsed and we do have to dig, we handle everything from the excavation to the final reinstatement, even managing the council streetworks permits if we need to work near the road.

Safe water main and lead replacement

If you live in one of the older properties around Kidsgrove, you might still have lead water supply pipes. Not only is lead a health concern, but those old pipes are prone to leaks and often result in poor water pressure. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we’re qualified to replace your old lead lines with modern MDPE blue plastic pipework. We also provide a rapid response for burst water mains. If you’ve spotted a damp patch on your drive or noticed your water pressure has suddenly plummeted, we can trace the leak and get it fixed quickly, ensuring your water supply is safe and strong once again.

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.
