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.

Stop the guesswork with CCTV surveys.

It’s frustrating when a drain keeps blocking and you don't know why. Is it a stubborn fatberg, or have those garden tree roots finally found a way in? Our CCTV drain surveys take the guesswork out of the equation. We send a high-tech camera down the pipe to get a clear, live view of the problem. It’s a bit like an ultrasound for your drainage system. For those of you buying a new home in Oldham, these surveys are a lifesaver—nobody wants to move in only to find a collapsed pipe under their new conservatory. We provide a full structural report, so you know exactly what's happening under your feet.

Blast through blockages with water jetting.

Sometimes, a standard drain rod just won't cut it. That's where our high-pressure water jetting comes in. We use professional-grade equipment that blasts through grease, scale, and roots with incredible force. Our engineers are WJA-certified, so you can rest easy knowing we’re doing it safely. It’s not just about clearing the immediate blockage; it’s a deep clean for your pipes that helps prevent the same issue from cropping up again next month. From kitchen fat build-ups to silt in your stormwater drains, we'll have it cleared in no time.

Modern pipe repairs without the digging.

The thought of digging up a pristine driveway or a well-kept garden in Chadderton is enough to give any homeowner a headache. Thankfully, we specialise in "no-dig" technology. Using clever techniques like patch lining and drain relining, we can essentially build a new, tough pipe inside your old, damaged one. It’s faster, cheaper, and means your Oldham home stays looking exactly how it should. Why dig a trench when you can fix it from the inside? If the damage is too severe, our team can handle full excavations safely, even sorting out council streetworks permits if we need to reach a pipe under the road.

Replace old lead pipes for better pressure.

If you live in one of Oldham’s beautiful older terrace houses, there’s a good chance you’ve still got lead water pipes. Not only can lead be a health concern, but those old pipes often lead to poor water pressure—you know that feeling when the shower turns to a drizzle because someone turned on a tap? As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we can replace your old lead supply with modern MDPE pipework. We also handle emergency burst pipes and leaking stop taps, making sure your home stays dry and your water stays clean and plentiful.

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.
