Repair options for collapsed drains
Once a drain has fully collapsed, excavation is usually required to remove and replace the failed section. We carry out this work with as little disruption as practically possible, and reinstate the surface afterwards.
Could it have been prevented?
In most cases, yes. Collapses are typically the end result of years of cracks, root intrusion, joint displacement or pitch fibre deformation — all visible on CCTV long before failure. If you're worried about the condition of your drains, the time to act is now.
Many collapses could potentially be avoided if cracks, deformation, root damage or pitch fibre failure are identified earlier. A CCTV survey today is far cheaper than excavation tomorrow.
