Drain Replacement in Preston

Drain replacement can be needed when underground pipes are badly damaged or have collapsed.

We assess the condition of the pipe and where the damage is before discussing excavation. A survey or drain trace can help locate the affected section.

The work depends on the route, depth, surface and access around the drain.

If a survey has shown a collapse, tell us where it was found.


When a Drain Needs Excavating

Excavation exposes a section of underground pipe so that it can be repaired or replaced.

It may be appropriate where a pipe has collapsed, separated or deteriorated beyond a local repair from an access point.

We discuss the access needed and which part of the drain the work would affect.

What Affects Drain Replacement

We look at the drain and the surrounding ground before agreeing the scope.

These are the details that can affect how we get to the damaged length and put a replacement in place.

Replacing the Damaged Section

We identify where the sound pipe begins and ends before planning the replacement.

The new section must connect to the existing system and be laid to allow water to flow away.

We discuss how the trench can be backfilled and how the affected surface can be reinstated.

The right approach depends on what is above and around the pipe.


Checking Flow After Replacement

Once the new section is connected, we check the flow before closing up the work area.

If an issue extends beyond the replaced section, we explain what we found and what may need further attention.

Knowing what was replaced can help with later drainage work at the property. A CCTV drain survey can help identify the affected length.

Request a Drain Replacement Quote

Tell us where the property is and what you know about the damaged drain.

Mention any survey findings and whether the affected section is under a garden, path, drive or other surface.

We can discuss access and the next steps before arranging work.
