Professional Drain Repair Services
Drainage systems can develop cracks, fractures, and collapsed sections that lead to leaks, blockages, and long-term structural damage. Professional drain repairs restore the integrity of the system, preventing further issues and extending the life of the pipework. Southern Drainage Solutions provides a full range of repair options across the south for both domestic and commercial clients.
What Do Drain Repairs Involve?
Drain repairs address physical damage within the drainage system, restoring both the structure and functionality of the pipework. Damage can be caused by a number of factors, including ground movement, heavy surface loading, root intrusion, ageing pipe materials, or long-term blockages that weaken the pipe walls.
The repair method depends on the severity and location of the problem. Minor cracks and fractures can often be resolved with patch lining, where a resin-impregnated liner is inserted into the pipe and cured in place. For more extensive damage, full drain relining may be required, reinforcing a larger section of pipe without excavation. In cases of collapse or severe displacement, excavation and pipe replacement remain the most reliable solution.
Carrying out timely repairs prevents further deterioration of the system, which could otherwise lead to water ingress, contamination of surrounding soil, or structural issues with buildings. Professional drain repairs ensure the system is restored to full working order and help extend the lifespan of the pipework.
The main benefits include:
- Restores structural integrity of weakened pipes
- Prevents recurring blockages and overflows
- Extends the lifespan of existing drainage systems
- Provides a cost-effective alternative to full replacement
- Offers long-term reliability backed by guarantee
Other Drain Repair Services We Provide
Pitch Fibre Drain Repairs
Pitch fibre drains were commonly installed between the 1950s and 1970s but are now prone to deformation, blistering, and collapse as the material deteriorates. Southern Drainage Solutions provide professional repair and refurbishment for ageing pitch fibre systems, using modern techniques to restore strength and flow without the need for full replacement.
Drain Relining
Drain relining offers a no-dig solution for cracked or leaking pipes. A resin liner is inserted into the existing drain to form a new internal layer, sealing defects and preventing leaks without excavation. This method is ideal for both domestic and commercial properties where disruption must be kept to a minimum.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are the common signs that a drain needs repairing?
Typical signs include persistent blockages, slow drainage, foul smells, gurgling noises, damp patches, or visible cracks around external drains. In more serious cases, you may notice subsidence or flooding near inspection chambers. If these problems recur despite unblocking, a drain repair is often required.
What causes damage to drains?
Drain damage can occur for several reasons. Common causes include tree root intrusion, ground movement, heavy traffic loads above shallow drains, age-related deterioration, corrosion of older materials, and incorrect installation. Fat, grease, and foreign objects can also weaken pipes over time. Identifying the cause helps determine the most effective repair method.
What types of drain repair methods are available?
Methods include:
- Patch lining – used for localised cracks or small defects.
- Full drain relining – suitable for longer sections of damage, creating a new pipe within the old one.
- Excavation and replacement – required when pipes have collapsed or are severely displaced.
Where possible, no-dig methods such as patching and relining are preferred to minimise disruption.
How disruptive are drain repairs?
Many repairs can be completed with trenchless technology, meaning no digging is required. This keeps disruption to a minimum and allows work to be finished quickly. If excavation is unavoidable, Southern Drainage Solutions plans work carefully to limit disturbance and restore affected areas once repairs are complete.
How long does a drain repair usually take?
The timeframe depends on the size of the job. Small patch repairs can often be completed in a few hours. Full relining may take one to two days depending on pipe length. Excavations or major replacement works can take several days. Following a CCTV survey, our engineers provide a clear estimate of time required.
How much does a drain repair cost?
Costs vary depending on the location of the drain, the repair method, and the extent of damage. Patch lining is generally the most cost-effective option, while full excavation is more expensive due to labour and reinstatement. Southern Drainage Solutions provides transparent quotations with no hidden fees before work begins.
