PROFESSIONAL DOMESTIC DRAINAGE INSTALLATION
Drainage Built Around Your Property
Every property is different, so there is rarely a one-size-fits-all approach to installing underground drainage.
The route of the pipework, available access, ground conditions, existing drainage and the required connection all need to be considered before work begins.
Drain Reaction can assess the site, identify the most practical route and install the required drainage while keeping disruption around the property to a minimum.
- New underground drainage runs
- Replacement drainage pipework
- Drainage for extensions
- New gullies and waste connections
- Manhole and inspection chamber installation
- Alterations to existing drainage
- Replacement of collapsed or badly damaged drains
- Additional drainage for property improvements
Common Reasons for Drain Installation
New or replacement drainage may be required for a number of reasons.
Home Extensions
Extending a property can mean existing waste and drainage routes need to be altered or extended to serve the new space.
Damaged Underground Drainage
Where old pipework has collapsed or deteriorated beyond repair, replacing the affected section may provide a more reliable long-term solution.
Property Renovations
Changing the position of kitchens, bathrooms or utility areas can require alterations to existing waste and underground drainage.
New Outside Drainage
Additional gullies or drainage points may be required to handle wastewater or surface water around the property.
Poor Existing Drainage
Older systems may have unsuitable gradients, poor connections or layouts that contribute to ongoing drainage problems.
New Residential Developments
New-build and residential development projects require correctly planned underground drainage serving the property.
Planning a New Drainage Run
Before installing new underground drainage, it is important to understand how the existing system works.
Our team can assess:
- Existing drainage routes
- Available connection points
- Pipe depth
- Ground conditions
- Required pipe gradients
- Inspection access
- Nearby structures
- Existing defects or restrictions
Where required, CCTV inspection equipment can also be used to understand the condition and layout of existing underground drainage before alteration work begins.
When Repair Is No Longer the Best Option
Not every damaged drain needs replacing. Localised defects may sometimes be suitable for a targeted or no-dig repair.
Replacement can be the more appropriate option where:
- A section of drain has collapsed
- Pipework is badly cracked or deteriorated
- Several defects are present along the same run
- Existing drainage has been installed incorrectly
- Joints have become severely displaced
- The drainage route needs to change
- Previous repairs are no longer practical
- New building work requires a redesigned system
A Straightforward Installation Process
From planning the route to checking the finished system, we follow a clear process to make sure your new drainage is installed properly.
Discuss the Project
Tell us what work you are planning and what you need the new drainage system to achieve.
Assess the Existing Drainage
We inspect the property, existing drainage routes and potential connection points.
Plan the Installation
We determine an appropriate route, pipework arrangement and access requirements for the new drainage.
Install the Drainage
The required excavation and installation work is completed using suitable underground drainage components.
Check the System
Once installed, we check the drainage to make sure the system is flowing correctly before completing the surrounding area.
