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.

Reliable experts for your home or business

It's easy to find someone with a set of rods, but drainage is about more than just poking a hole through a blockage. We take pride in being fully certified professionals. Our engineers are WJA (Water Jetting Association) qualified and WIAPS approved, which means we're authorised to work on the private supply pipes that connect your home to the main Salford water network. We also carry £5 million in public liability insurance, so you can have total peace of mind while we're on-site. We've spent years fixing everything from collapsed clay pipes in older Swinton terraces to modern plastic systems in new builds. You'll always get a straight answer, a fair price, and a job done properly the first time.

Swift drain unblocking and high-pressure cleaning

Most of the time, a simple plunger just won't cut it. When fat, grease, or wet wipes build up, they create a stubborn mass that needs a bit more muscle. That’s where our high-pressure water jetting comes in. We don't just clear the blockage; we give your pipes a proper scrub from the inside. This removes years of scale and debris, making it much less likely that you'll be calling us back a month later for the same problem. From blocked outdoor gullies filled with autumn leaves to internal bathroom clogs, we've got the gear to sort it out fast. Have you noticed a nasty smell lingering around your drains lately? That's often the first sign of a build-up, and catching it early can save you a much bigger headache down the road.

CCTV surveys for absolute clarity

Ever wondered what's actually going on underground? If you've got a recurring blockage, guessing isn't the solution. We use state-of-the-art waterproof cameras to travel deep into your drainage system, sending a high-definition feed back to a monitor. It’s the only way to spot things like tree root intrusion or a hairline fracture before they turn into a collapsed pipe. This is also a lifesaver if you're buying a new home in Swinton or Pendlebury. The last thing you want after picking up the keys is to find out the main drain is buckled. Our homebuyer drain surveys provide a full structural report, giving you the evidence you need to negotiate repairs or simply move in with confidence.

Fixing pipes without digging up your garden

The word 'drain repair' used to mean diggers in the garden and a destroyed driveway. Thankfully, those days are mostly gone. We specialise in 'no-dig' technology, specifically resin patch lining. Imagine it like a keyhole surgery for your pipes. We insert a special liner into the damaged section, inflate it, and let it cure to create a brand-new, tough-as-nails pipe inside the old one. It's faster, cheaper, and doesn't leave you with a mess to clear up. Of course, if a pipe is completely collapsed, we can handle the excavation too. We even take care of the council streetworks permits if we need to work near the road, so you don't have to worry about the paperwork.

Professional water main and lead pipe replacement

Is your water pressure feeling a bit weak lately? If you live in one of the older properties around Salford, you might still have lead water supply pipes. Not only can lead be a health concern, but these old pipes are prone to pinhole leaks and bursts. As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we specialise in replacing old lead supply lines with modern, high-performance MDPE pipework. We can often use 'moling' technology to pull the new pipe through with minimal digging. We also handle emergency burst pipe repairs and stop tap replacements. If you've spotted a damp patch on your lawn that never seems to dry out, you might have a leak on your water main—give us a shout, and we'll help you find it and fix it.

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.
