Drain Maintenance & Repairs
Drains are usually a thought many homeowners will never think about until it’s too late. Whether you have recently moved or been a longstanding homeowner and think you require drain repair or maintenance, contact our team at C & L 24Hr Emergency Drainage. We carry out a range of drain repairs on our customers’ properties in Mid-Wales, Wrexham and Shropshire. We have over twenty-five years of experience in dealing with drainage problems, so you can rely on us to fix any problems you may have.
Collapsed and Blocked Drains
Excavation of collapsed and blocked drains to clear the blockage and replace the affect run with plastic alternative.
Pipe Renewal
Excavation and replacement of clay and black pitch fibre sewer lines to the new industry standard of 110mm plastic pipe.
Rod Retrieval
Commonly, rods and attachments can be lost and trapped in drains when operated incorrectly. This can require either specialist rod retrieval equipment or excavation to retrieve.
Excavation and Drain Maintenance
Over the past century there has been leaps and bounds in the quality and material used in drainage systems. Many households in the UK still have either clay and/or black pitch fibre. Although clay pipe at the time was a strong material to use, over the years they have been known to displace, crack and collapse. Black Pitch Fibre was used for a short period of time but is now known to swell, buckle and compress even after only 12 months of use. Plastic pipe is now used as an industry standard in drainage systems for its resistance to decay and abundance of material.
From drainpipe maintenance to fixing a broken drain, we can make cost-effective repairs that will ensure your drainage system is kept in excellent condition. We can undertake a number of drainage system repairs including sewer diversions, collapse repairs, root removal, drainpipe repair as well as gully and soil stack repair. If required, our engineers will also undertake reconstruction work. Additionally, to reduce the chance of blockages, we can thoroughly clean your system.
C&L also offer installation of new storm and sewer systems for existing properties or new builds. Sometimes it is more practical to install a new line than to replace an existing line, this can include redirecting an existing line around an extension, new property or hard to access area. In areas of restricted access, we utilise traditional hand digging where machinery would be impractical.
