Expert Drain Repairs & Relining

That's a very good question. If you find you're repeatedly calling for an unblocking service for the same toilets or sinks, or if blockages return quickly, it often points to an underlying problem with the drain itself. Other tell-tale signs include persistent foul odours around your property, gurgling sounds from your pipes long after use, slow-draining water even after attempts to clear it, or even damp patches and localised sinking in your garden or driveway. The most reliable way our experienced engineers can determine if a repair is needed is with a CCTV drain survey, which allows us to see the exact condition inside your drainage pipes.

'No-dig' drain repairs, sometimes called trenchless technology, are a modern and highly efficient way our engineers fix damaged drainage pipes without the need for extensive and disruptive excavation work. We offer leading services like drain relining, where we essentially install a new, robust pipe within the existing damaged one, sealing cracks and preventing future root ingress. For smaller, localised defects, patch lining is an excellent option. For many customers, these no-dig solutions are certainly better as they are significantly faster, cause far less disruption to your garden, driveway, or business operations in East Yorkshire, and can often be more cost-effective than traditional dig-up-and-replace methods. We use the latest technology to ensure these repairs are strong and long-lasting.

Absolutely. When carried out correctly by our skilled engineers using high-quality, industry-approved materials, no-dig drain repairs like CIPP (Cured-In-Place-Pipe) relining are designed to be a very long-term, if not permanent, solution. The lining materials we use are incredibly tough, resistant to cracks and root penetration, and are expected to last for many decades. It effectively rehabilitates your old drain, restoring its structural integrity. With over 30 years of experience, Drain Unblocking East Yorkshire ensures your repair is built to last.

Yes, we almost always recommend and carry out a CCTV drain survey before undertaking any repair work. It's a crucial step that allows our engineers to accurately diagnose the problem. Using advanced camera technology, we can see the exact nature of the damage – be it cracks, fractures, collapsed sections, or tree root intrusion – and pinpoint its precise location within your drainage system. This ensures we can recommend the most suitable and cost-efficient repair technique for your specific situation. This detailed look helps us help you better, ensuring we target the work correctly from day one.

If a section of your drain has completely collapsed, 'no-dig' relining might not be suitable for that specific collapsed part, as the lining process generally needs an existing pipe structure to mould against. However, our experienced engineers will thoroughly assess the situation using CCTV technology. In some cases of severe collapse, a localised excavation to replace the damaged section may be the most effective solution. We can then often reline the connecting pipework to prevent future issues. Drain Unblocking East Yorkshire has the expertise and equipment to handle both trenchless repairs and traditional excavation work, ensuring we can offer the right solution whatever the state of your drains.
