Why Choose I Dig Drains and Water Mains for Expert Drainage Services in Cheshire?

Reliable local help when things go wrong

<p>We are not some massive national call centre that will put you on hold for twenty minutes. We are local people who know the streets of Stockport inside out. Our engineers are fully WJA certified, which basically means we know how to handle high pressure jetting safely and effectively. We also carry £5 million in public liability insurance, so you can have total peace of mind while we are working on your property. From a simple blocked gully to a serious collapsed pipe, we have seen it all and fixed it all. Most homeowners we speak to just want an honest answer and a fair price, and that is exactly what we provide.</p>

Clearing blockages with high pressure jetting

<p>Sometimes a set of rods just won't cut it. If you have got a stubborn clog made of years of fat, grease, or those pesky 'flushable' wipes, our high pressure jetting is the answer. It is like a power wash for the inside of your pipes. It doesn't just poke a hole through the blockage; it clears the whole pipe wall, which helps prevent the problem from coming back next month. It is fast, efficient, and usually the quickest way to get your life back to normal. We offer this as part of our emergency drainage service, but we also do routine drainage maintenance to stop these issues before they start.</p>

See exactly what is happening with CCTV surveys

<p>Wondering why that same drain keeps blocking every few months? Instead of guessing, we use state-of-the-art CCTV cameras to take a look down there. It is the easiest way to spot cracks, root damage, or even a cheeky bit of brickwork that has fallen in. If you are buying a new home in Hazel Grove or Gatley, a homebuyer drain survey is a must. It stops you from inheriting a mess and a massive repair bill just weeks after moving in. We provide clear reports and footage so you can see the problem for yourself.</p>

Fix your pipes without digging up the drive

<p>The thought of someone digging a massive trench through your lovely driveway is enough to give anyone a headache. That is why we specialise in 'no-dig' drain lining and patch repairs. We can often fix a cracked or leaking pipe by inserting a resin-soaked liner that hardens into a brand-new pipe inside the old one. It is quicker, cheaper, and way less messy than traditional excavation. Of course, if a pipe has completely collapsed, we can handle the drain repair via excavation too—we will even sort the council permits if we need to work on the street.</p>

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our emergency drainage and water main services in Cheshire

What counts as a drainage emergency?

+

If wastewater is backing up into your home, your toilets won't flush, or you have a burst water main causing flooding, that is an emergency. We offer a rapid response to these issues to help you avoid damage to your floors and furniture.

How quickly can you get to a blocked drain in Macclesfield?

+

Because we are based locally, we aim to get to most emergency calls in the Macclesfield and Cheshire East area on the same day. We know that drainage problems don't wait for a convenient time, so we try to be with you as fast as possible.

Who is responsible for a collapsed pipe?

+

Generally, you are responsible for the pipes that sit within your property boundary and only serve your house. If the pipe is shared with a neighbour or is outside your boundary, it usually falls under the responsibility of United Utilities. We can use our cameras to find exactly where the damage is and tell you who needs to pay for the fix.

How much does emergency drain unblocking cost?

+

The price depends on the size of the job, but we always give you a quote before we begin. We don't believe in call-out fees that break the bank; we just charge a fair price for getting the job done right.

Can you fix a burst water main on my driveway?

+

Yes. We are qualified to work on the private supply pipe that runs from the street to your home. We can locate the leak, dig a small access hole, and repair the pipe quickly to get your water back on.

Is 24/7 drain repair available in Cheshire?

+

We offer emergency call-outs for those urgent situations that just can't wait until Monday morning. Give us a call and we will let you know how quickly we can get an engineer to your door.
