How Our Groundworks and Repairs Services Work

Our Groundworks and Repairs Services are vital for ensuring the strength and stability of your drainage installation. Designed to address structural issues and lay a solid foundation, our groundworks services cover everything from excavation to the installation and repair of drainage components. We begin with a comprehensive site assessment, evaluating the soil, surrounding structures, and any existing drainage systems to determine the best approach.

Once the assessment is complete, we carefully excavate the affected areas, ensuring minimal disruption to your property. Our team then repairs or installs necessary drainage elements, such as pipes, soakaways, or manholes, using high-quality materials to enhance durability and performance. For properties with existing drainage issues, we identify problem areas and implement targeted repairs, such as replacing damaged sections or reinforcing weak points.

After completing the groundwork and repairs, we conduct a final inspection to verify that the drainage installation is functioning optimally. Our professional approach to groundworks ensures a stable, long-lasting solution for your drainage needs, helping to prevent water damage, soil erosion, and structural risks. With our experienced team and commitment to quality, you can trust that your drainage installation will be well-protected and built to withstand the test of time.

Groundworks and Repairs – Frequently Asked Questions

When is excavation required for drainage repairs?
Excavation is necessary when drain access is required to resolve severe blockages or damage, such as root intrusion, flooding, or significant structural issues.
What is relining, and when is it used?
Relining involves creating a new pipe within the damaged pipe, strengthening its structure without the need for excavation. It’s ideal for fractured pipes, minor collapses, or leaking joints.
How does CCTV surveying assist in repairs?
CCTV surveys allow us to inspect the interior of the drainage system accurately, identifying the exact location and cause of issues before proceeding with repairs.
Do LDS repairs require digging up my property?
Not necessarily; LDS specialises in no-dig repairs such as relining and patch lining, reducing the need for excavation and minimising disruption to your property.
What sizes of pipes can you reline?
We can reline pipes from 100mm up to 1.5-metre culverts, and we also offer patch liners for pipes as small as 60mm in diameter and up to 1.2 metres in length.
Are your services available for emergency repairs?
Yes, we offer emergency repair services and rapid response times to address urgent drainage issues as quickly as possible.
