Drain Excavation & Re-Lay for Christchurch (BH23) properties

Local subsoil holds water after heavy rain, which puts extra load on gullies, soakaways and any drain run with a sag or a displaced joint. That matters for drain excavation & re-lay in Christchurch, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.

Most common drainage problems in Christchurch

  • Deformed pitch fibre pipes in 1950s–70s housing
