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 fast

There’s nothing quite like that sinking feeling when the toilet won’t flush or you notice a nasty whiff coming from the kitchen sink. Most people try a bit of shop-bought unblocker first, but usually, that’s just a temporary fix for a deeper problem. We use high-pressure water jetting to blast through the real culprits—things like fat build-up, wet wipes, or even those pesky tree roots that love the damp Derbyshire soil. As WJA-certified engineers, we don’t just poke a hole in the blockage; we clear the pipe properly so you aren't calling us back in a fortnight.

See inside your pipes with CCTV

Ever wondered what’s actually going on underground? Maybe you’ve had the same drain block three times this year, or perhaps you're about to sign the papers on a lovely new home in the High Peak. Our CCTV drain surveys take the guesswork out of it. We send a high-tech camera down the line to spot cracks, collapses, or root intrusion without lifting a single paving slab. If you're buying a house, a homebuyer’s survey is a total lifesaver—it can save you thousands in hidden repair costs before you’ve even moved in.

Fixing drains without the mess

The old way of fixing a broken pipe involved digging a massive trench right through your garden or driveway. Nobody wants that. That’s why we specialise in "no-dig" technology. Using methods like drain lining and patch repairs, we can essentially create a brand-new pipe inside your old one using a clever resin sleeve. It’s faster, cheaper, and doesn't leave your property looking like a building site. If the damage is too far gone, we can handle the full excavation too, including all the council permits if we need to work out on the New Mills streets.

Expert water main and lead pipe solutions

If you live in one of our older Derbyshire properties, you might still have lead water pipes. Not only is lead a health concern, but those old pipes often lead to rubbish water pressure. We’re WIAPS-approved, which means we’re officially recognised to work on your private water supply. We can swap out those old lead pipes for modern MDPE (the blue plastic stuff), instantly improving your flow. From fixing a burst pipe in the middle of winter to replacing a seized stop tap, we’ve got your water supply covered.

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.
