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.

Fast relief for blocked drains and toilets

We have all been there. You are trying to enjoy a quiet evening when you realise the kitchen sink isn't draining, or worse, the downstairs loo is threatening to overflow. It’s stressful, messy, and always seems to happen at the most inconvenient time. Most people we talk to in Knutsford just want someone to turn up when they say they will and fix the problem for a fair price. We offer a rapid response for emergency drainage issues, using professional tools to clear everything from fat build-ups to those 'flushable' wipes that really shouldn't have been flushed. We will get in, clear the clog, and let you get back to your day.

High-pressure water jetting for a deeper clean

Sometimes a simple plunger or a set of rods just won't cut it. If you have got a blockage that keeps coming back, it’s usually a sign of something more stubborn like grease, scale, or even tree roots looking for a drink. Our team uses WJA-certified high-pressure water jetting to blast through those obstructions. Think of it as a power wash for the inside of your pipes. It doesn’t just move the blockage along; it scrubs the pipe walls clean, helping to prevent future issues. It is a safe, effective way to restore your drainage to full health without using harsh chemicals that can damage your pipework over time.

See what is happening with CCTV drain surveys

Ever wonder what is actually going on underground? If you are plagued by recurring smells or slow drainage, our state-of-the-art CCTV cameras can give you the answer. We thread a high-definition camera into your system to spot cracks, root intrusion, or collapsed sections that you simply can't see from the surface. This is also a lifesaver if you are buying a new home in Cheshire East. Imagine moving into your dream house in Knutsford only to find out a month later that the main drain is structurally unsound. A homebuyer drain survey gives you a full structural report and total peace of mind before you sign on the dotted line.

Fixing damaged pipes without the mess

The word 'drain repair' often makes homeowners think of excavators tearing up their pristine driveway or garden. While we can certainly handle traditional excavations when they are necessary, we always look for a 'no-dig' solution first. Using clever patch lining and full-length relining, we can essentially create a new pipe inside your old one using a resin-impregnated liner. It’s faster, cheaper, and means you won't have to look at a trench across your lawn for a week. We have used this trenchless technology all over Knutsford to fix everything from minor leaks to significant structural cracks with minimal disruption to your home life.

Upgrade your Knutsford water supply today

Low water pressure can be a real pain, especially if you are trying to run a shower while someone else is using the tap. Many older properties in Knutsford still rely on original lead pipes, which aren't just bad for pressure—they aren't great for your health either. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we specialise in lead pipe replacement, swapping out that old lead for modern, high-flow MDPE pipework. We can also help with burst pipe repairs or replacing a seized stop tap that won't budge. If your water main is acting up, we have the tools and the certifications to fix it properly, ensuring your home has a safe, reliable supply for years to come.

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.
