Grey Water Drainage

  • Drain Excavation

    If your drains are in need of excavation, Grey-Water Drainage Solutions are on-hand to provide the best solutions.

Watch Chris and the Grey-Water team perform a drainage excavation for a sunken pipe that has caused a client's patio to sink.

​Drain Excavation

Drain Excavation
A total collapse or severe deformation of a drain or sewer will require an exercise to excavate and repair the pipe. Reasons drains collapse or deform vary from ground movement and subsidence, tree root infestation, incorrect installation or excessive loading from changes to the environment above them. A drain excavation is, in most cases, the final resort of treatment for a damaged drainage system. Excavation repairs involve our team digging a hole or trench, providing direct access to the affected areas.

When is drain excavation necessary?
The Grey-Water Drainage consider full drainage excavations to be the final resort solution. Only once we have carried out investigation works and tried or ruled out any other solution we will discuss the idea of excavation work as and when needed.
Pre-excavation Survey
In the event of an excavation, the Grey-Water Team will carry out an extensive pre-excavation survey and diagnosis, ensuring we locate the exact digging location to ensure the most cost effective and timely repairs or installations possible.
How disruptive is drain excavating?
We often have to excavate within people’s property and know how highly disruptive this can be to customers. Customer’s expectations along with minimising any disruption in these situations are very important. 

The Grey-Water Team will produce a detailed plan encompassing site assessment, health and safety considerations, storage of the excavated material and site reinstatement. We are always careful to reinstate and restore the site to your satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I undertake drain excavation?

The requirement to undertake drain excavation will depend on a variety of factors that could include persistent blockages, drainage system upgrades, root intrusion, and pipe replacement. If you have a problem with your drains but are unsure whether drain excavation is needed, give us a call or drop us an email and we can help identify the problem and the solution.

How long does drain excavation take?

Drain excavation can vary in length depending on several factors including the complexity of the project, the size and depth of the excavation, how accessible the drain is, what site and weather conditions are like. With these variables, it is difficult to determine an exact timeframe but upon assessing your particular drain system, we should be able to give a more accurate scale for excavation.

How much does drain excavation cost?

Our repair fee comes down to how much of your drain needs attending to. Factors that affect the total sum range from what kind of damage has been done - a drain could have been taken over by root ingress, or it could have cracked due to temperature or storms - to how far along the drain damage has been sustained. Our rates generally start at £350.

Do I have to pay in advance for drain excavation?

Due to previous experiences, we ask for payment in advance of drain excavations.

Do I need my drains excavated?

After a routine survey, we will have more information and can decide whether your drains need excavating. A survey will mean feeding a CCTV camera through your drain system to look for any damage or blocks. You may already recognize problems with your drains, however this doesn't always mean repair is needed; it could simply be a block that needs remedying.

Is there a local drain excavation service near me?

If you live in the Kent or London area, we have local operatives in your area who are able to carry out drain excavation and repair. Give us a call and we will provide you with our next available visit date.
