Something we haven't answered? Get in touch
What happens to a redundant drain that passes under a building?
A local specialist can assess that section before any work. They will say whether the pipe can be filled in place or whether access is needed. The answer depends on the pipe and the structure above it.
Which details help a local specialist plan drain filling at a Portsmouth property?
Give the address and a description of the drain. Say what the drain serves and where it leaves the property. Mention any earlier work on the pipe and any access limits.
Is drain decommissioning available across Portsmouth?
Yes. Specialists cover all of Portsmouth and the surrounding areas, as well as neighbouring towns across the United Kingdom. Whether your site is a residential plot, a commercial property or an outbuilding, a specialist can visit and survey the redundant drain.
How quickly can a specialist visit my property?
Submit your details using the enquiry form and a specialist will come back to you with initial guidance on the redundant drain at your Portsmouth property.
Does the whole drain have to be excavated?
In many cases, no. A redundant drain can often be capped at the boundary or filled with grout pumped in from an existing access point, keeping excavation to a minimum. A specialist only recommends digging where the CCTV survey shows the pipe cannot be reached or sealed from the chambers already in place.
