About Our Excavation Repairs

When all other solutions have been exhausted, drain excavation may be the only effective option for addressing severe drainage issues. London Drainage Services (LDS) offers professional excavation repairs to gain access to underground drains and sewers, allowing our skilled team to resolve complex issues that can’t be addressed through standard methods. While we prioritise non-invasive approaches whenever possible, excavation provides a long-lasting solution for issues such as root intrusion, flooding pipes, and subsidence.

Using state-of-the-art equipment, our team conducts thorough CCTV drain surveys to precisely identify the root cause of the problem. We prioritise efficiency and safety, minimising disruption to your property and ensuring the excavation process is managed with the utmost care. With our experienced engineers handling the excavation, your drainage system will be restored to full functionality, effectively resolving the underlying issue.

How Our Excavation Repairs Services Work

Our excavation repair services are designed to address significant damage within your drainage installation that cannot be resolved with no-dig solutions. We begin with a comprehensive assessment, using CCTV surveys and other diagnostic tools to pinpoint the location and extent of the damage. This step is crucial, as it allows us to plan an efficient, targeted excavation with minimal disruption to your property.

Once the problem area is identified, our team carefully excavates the affected section, ensuring that surrounding structures and landscaping remain undisturbed wherever possible. We then proceed with the necessary repairs, which may include replacing damaged pipes or reinforcing sections of the drainage installation that have been compromised over time. Our team uses high-quality materials to guarantee durability and long-term effectiveness.

After completing the repair, we meticulously backfill and restore the excavated area, aiming to leave the site as close to its original condition as possible. We finish with a final inspection to ensure the repaired drainage system operates seamlessly, providing optimal water flow and structural integrity. Our excavation repair services are performed by skilled professionals, offering a reliable solution for complex drainage issues, helping to extend the life of your system and protect your property from future damage.
