Drain Excavation & Re-Lay in Sandwich

Sandwich property owners call us for drain excavation & re-lay because we turn up when we say we will. Typical arrival: 90 minutes–2 hours to CT13, day or night, weekends and bank holidays included.

Drain Excavation & Re-Lay for Sandwich (CT13) properties

Property in Sandwich ranges from converted and extended older homes — where drainage has been re-routed more than once — to modern developments with private drainage that management companies often assume the water authority maintains. It doesn't. We factor that into every drain excavation & re-lay job we take in CT13.

Most common drainage problems in Sandwich

  • 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
