It is a common story we hear from families in Eccles: 'My shower is more of a drizzle than a downpour.' Often, that is because lead pipes have a tiny internal diameter that has only got narrower with decades of limescale and sediment. By upgrading to blue MDPE (Medium Density Polyethylene), you are not just getting rid of the health risks associated with lead—you are significantly boosting your flow rate. Imagine finally having a power shower that actually feels powerful. Plus, these modern pipes are incredibly durable, meaning you will not be worrying about hidden leaks or bursts for decades to come. It is a simple upgrade that makes a massive difference to your daily routine.

'Do I have to dig up my whole lawn?' That is the first thing everyone asks us. The good news is, we usually do not have to. At I Dig Drains and Watermains, we use a clever bit of kit called trenchless moling. Think of it as a small, pneumatic 'mole' that creates a path underground without needing a massive, ugly trench. We just dig two small holes—one at the boundary and one where the pipe enters your home—and the mole does the rest. It is fast, neat, and means your driveway or prize roses stay exactly where they are. Most of our Eccles customers are amazed that we can get the whole job done in just one day with minimal fuss.

When it comes to your drinking water, you want someone who knows the rules inside out. We are WIAPS-approved plumbers, which is a bit of a fancy way of saying the water board trusts us. Because we are part of the Water Industry Approved Plumbers’ Scheme, we can self-certify our work. This saves you a massive headache because you will not have to wait around for a water board inspector to come and sign off the new connection. We handle the paperwork, the installation, and the final point of entry connection to your internal stop tap. It gives you total peace of mind that your water supply is safe, legal, and built to last.
