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.

Quick fixes for stubborn blocked drains

A blocked toilet is never a minor issue when it's the only one in the house, is it? We understand that when a drain stops working, your whole day grinds to a halt. Our team is out and about in Northwich every day, from Winnington to Leftwich, clearing everything from simple hair clogs in the shower to serious fatbergs in the main line. We don't just poke a rod down and hope for the best; we use professional-grade equipment like high-pressure water jetters to make sure the flow is fully restored. If your pipes are gurgling or your manhole is overflowing, don't wait for it to get worse—give us a bell and we'll be there to sort it out.

Crystal clear CCTV drain surveys

Buying a new house in Cheshire West and Chester is a big investment, so the last thing you want is a hidden five-figure repair bill waiting under the lawn. That’s where our homebuyer drain surveys come in. We send a high-tech camera down the pipes to give you a full structural report on the condition of the drainage system. It's not just for buyers, though. If you've got a recurring blockage that keeps coming back every few months, a CCTV survey is the only way to find out why. Is it a displaced joint, or have the roots from that big oak tree finally found a way in? We’ll show you the footage and explain exactly what we're looking at, so you aren't left in the dark.

Modern no-dig repairs and pipe lining

In the old days, fixing a cracked pipe meant bringing in a digger and tearing up your driveway or patio. Thankfully, those days are mostly gone. We specialise in 'no-dig' technology, specifically patch lining. Imagine we’re creating a brand-new pipe inside your old one using a tough, resin-impregnated liner. It’s faster, cleaner, and significantly cheaper than a full excavation. Of course, if a pipe has completely collapsed, we can handle the heavy digging too. We even take care of the council streetworks permits if we need to work near the road in Northwich, so you don't have to worry about the paperwork. We're all about making the repair as painless as possible for you.

Expert water main and lead pipe services

It isn't just the waste water we look after; we're also WIAPS-approved specialists for your fresh water supply. If you're living in one of Northwich's older properties, you might still have lead pipes bringing water into your home. Not only can lead be a health concern, but those old pipes are prone to leaks and often cause poor water pressure. We can replace your old lead supply with modern MDPE pipework, often using 'moling' technology to avoid digging a long trench across your garden. From fixing a burst water main in an emergency to simply replacing a seized internal stop tap, we've got the certifications and the experience to handle your water supply with care.

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.
