Replacing a broken section of drain located within a damaged London drainage system will firstly require the location of the pipe to be located above ground so we know the excavation is going to be in the right place. We do this using our CCTV drain survey equipment, Once we have confirmed the location we will scan for any services that may be located beneath the excavation area so we are aware of any additional risks to ourselves or causing further damage at the property other than that of the drain pipe we are there to fix.

Our excavations are always carried out with caution and with the correct protective equipment, when we have uncovered the damaged section of pipework we will then cut either side to enable a clean removal and suitable connections for a brand new section of drainage to be installed. Having installed the new section we will first check the connections from within again using our drain camera system and if it's all looking good and perfectly aligned we will carry out a pressure test using air or water to ensure the new section is sealed before backfilling. After the backfilling of the excavation it's time to reinstate the excavated surface level with and to match the existing.
