Drain Repairs

Repairs for cracked, broken, root-damaged and displaced drains, based on what a camera survey actually shows.

About drain repairs

A damaged drain will usually keep causing problems until the damage is dealt with. Cracks and open joints let roots in and let water out, displaced sections catch debris, and collapsed pipes stop flow altogether.

The right repair depends on the type of damage, where it is, how deep the drain is and what sits above it. Some defects can be repaired from inside the pipe without excavation; others need the damaged section to be dug out and replaced. A CCTV survey is the starting point, because it shows exactly what needs fixing and where.

Clear Drainage will explain the options available for your drain, what each involves, and why a particular approach is being recommended, so you can make an informed decision.
