Common issues we fix
- Recurring blockages and slow-draining fixtures
- Bad odours and trapped wastewater
- Blocked external drains and gullies
- Emergency overflows and backups
Drain repairs fix pipes that have cracked, shifted or collapsed. The right repair depends on the damage. Options range from patch repairs and relining to full excavation. Tell the plumber what you have seen, such as damp patches, smells or repeat blockages.
Relining can avoid digging up a driveway or garden, yet it does not suit every pipe. Excavation replaces badly damaged sections. A CCTV survey can show what is wrong before any repair is chosen.
We cover Colchester and the towns around it, including Wivenhoe, Tiptree and Witham. Tell us about the problem in the online form, and a local plumber will get back to you. However, if the fault is a leak rather than a drain, our emergency plumber page explains the first steps.
