Drain Excavation & Re-Lay in Brighton

Need drain excavation & re-lay in Brighton? Our vans carry rods, mini-jetters, 4,000 PSI jetting units and CCTV cameras, so most BN1 jobs are diagnosed and solved on the first visit rather than turned into a return appointment.

Drain Excavation & Re-Lay for Brighton (BN1) properties

Greensand and chalk ridges drain fast on the surface but concentrate groundwater lower down, so soakaways and low-lying gullies take the brunt after a downpour. That matters for drain excavation & re-lay in Brighton, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.

Most common drainage problems in Brighton

  • Scale and debris build-up narrowing older runs
  • Fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes
  • Blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways
  • Manhole overflow and backing-up during heavy use
  • Collapsed or dropped sections in older clay pipework
