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

Reliable experts you can trust

Most of our customers tell us they were worried about hidden costs or 'cowboy' builders before they found us. We do things differently. We believe in transparent pricing and clear communication—you’ll know exactly what the job entails and what it’ll cost before we lift a single manhole cover. Our team isn't just experienced; we’re fully certified with WJA (Water Jetting Association) credentials and we’re WIAPS approved plumbers. This means we’re qualified to work on your private water supply pipes to the highest industry standards. Plus, with £5 million in public liability insurance, you can have total peace of mind while we work on your property.

Clearing blocked drains with ease

Sometimes a simple plunger just won't cut it. When you’ve got a stubborn blockage caused by years of fat build-up, scale, or even tree roots, you need something a bit more powerful. We use high-pressure water jetting to blast through the toughest obstructions, restoring the flow of your foul water or surface water systems in no time. It’s a safe and effective way to clean your pipes without using harsh chemicals. Whether it's a blocked sink in the Potteries or a full-scale commercial drainage emergency in the city centre, we’ve got the kit and the know-how to get things moving again.

Seeing the problem with CCTV surveys

If your drains keep blocking and you’re tired of the same old 'quick fix,' it might be time to take a proper look inside. Our state-of-the-art CCTV drain surveys allow us to see exactly what’s going on underground without any digging. It’s perfect for diagnosing collapsed pipes, displaced joints, or root intrusion. We also provide comprehensive homebuyer drain surveys for those moving house in Stoke-on-Trent. Imagine buying your dream home only to find out the main drain is a mess a week after moving in! Our detailed reports give you the full picture, and we can even provide industry-standard documentation for insurance claims.

Water main repairs and replacements

Notice a sudden drop in water pressure or a damp patch on your driveway that just won't dry? You might have a burst pipe or a leak on your main supply line. As WIAPS-approved specialists, we’re experts at repairing and replacing water mains. Many older homes in Stoke still have lead water pipes, which can affect your water quality and pressure. We can swap those old pipes for modern, durable MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene) piping. We also handle smaller jobs like stop tap replacements, ensuring you can actually turn your water off in an emergency.

Fixing pipes without the mess

The thought of a digger turning up to rip up your garden or driveway is enough to give anyone a headache. That’s why we specialise in no-dig drain repairs. Using drain lining and patch lining technology, we can often fix cracks and leaks from the inside. We insert a resin-soaked sleeve into the damaged section, which hardens to create a 'pipe within a pipe.' It’s faster, cheaper, and far less disruptive than traditional excavation. Of course, if a pipe has completely collapsed, our team is fully equipped to handle the excavation and reinstatement safely and professionally.

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.
