Repair based on evidence
Drain repairs and relining in Farnham
Damaged pipework needs the right repair for the defect, material, depth and access. We assess the available evidence and explain whether a local excavation, replacement or suitable no-dig option should be considered.

Signs that a drain may need repair
- A known crack, displaced joint or collapsed section shown by inspection.
- Repeated blockages in the same part of the system.
- Root entry or soil entering through damaged pipework.
- Persistent leakage, local ground movement or poor pipe alignment.
- An access chamber or drainage connection that has deteriorated.

Questions
Useful answers before you call
Is relining suitable for every damaged drain?
No. Suitability depends on the pipe, defect, diameter, access and condition. Some defects need excavation or replacement.
Do repairs always require excavation?
No, but excavation is sometimes the correct option. The decision should be based on the defect and site conditions, not a one-size-fits-all promise.
Can you use an existing CCTV report?
Yes. Share the available findings so they can be considered when the repair scope is discussed.
