We were recently called to a property where the homeowners had been dealing with repeated drainage problems. During our investigation, we identified the root cause — a manhole that had been covered over during a home extension, leaving no access to the drainage system.
When access points are hidden or built over, routine maintenance and blockage removal become extremely difficult, often leading to more serious issues over time.
We’ve now confirmed the exact location and advised the customer on the best options for creating safe, future access — helping to protect the system and avoid ongoing problems.
Keeping drainage access points visible and accessible can save significant time, disruption, and repair costs.

We recently attended a property in Walton-le-Dale where a persistent blockage was causing ongoing drainage problems. After successfully clearing the blockage and restoring normal flow, we carried out a full system check and discovered a buried manhole that had been covered over underground.
By locating and exposing the manhole, the drainage system can now be properly accessed for future maintenance — helping to prevent further issues and saving the customer time and expense long term
If you’re experiencing recurring drainage problems or think there could be hidden issues within your system, we can provide professional inspections and reliable, long-lasting solutions.

Our team recently attended a job where a drain had collapsed due to tree root intrusion — something we see quite often and, if ignored, can cause major drainageissues and potential damage to the property.
After completing a detailed inspection, we removed the root growth, carried out repairs to the affected pipework, and fully restored the drainage system to proper working condition.
Signs like slow-draining water, gurgling sounds, or strong odours can sometimes point to more serious problems below ground. Tree roots are a frequent cause of hidden pipe damage.

After carrying out a detailed property survey in Penwortham, we discovered major damage within the drainage system. Our team completed a full repair using a combination of modern and traditional methods:
Trenchless Drain Lining – A low-disruption, cost-effective solution that restores pipe strength without the need for large excavations.
Precision Excavation – Where pipework was beyond repair, we carried out careful excavation to replace damaged sections and ensure long-term reliability.
By using the right repair method in the right areas, we’ve fully restored the system and given the homeowner confidence that their drains are built to last.
If you’re purchasing a property or have concerns about your drainage, a CCTV drain survey can identify issues early and help avoid costly repairs later

We were called out to a property in Preston with ongoing drainageissues that just wouldn’t behave. Instead of guessing, we carried out a fulldrainage investigation to get to the root of the problem
With our CCTV equipment in action, we tracked down exactly what was going on underground — no digging first, no guesswork, just clear answers and a proper plan to fix it
Sometimes drainage problems aren’t what they seem. An investigation helps:
Find hidden damage
Locate stubborn blockages
Stop repeat issues
Save money in the long run
If your drains keep playing up, it might be time for a proper investigation rather than a quick fix.
