- Root removal and pipe clearance
- Manhole and gully reconstruction
Our drain repair experts in Farnborough are fully trained to carry out both traditional and modern repair methods – ensuring a cost-effective, long-lasting solution for your property.

Common Drainage Problems Requiring Repair in Farnborough and the UK
Drainage issues can quickly escalate if left untreated. Across Farnborough and the wider UK, we regularly attend callouts for drainage problems that need urgent repair. Knowing what to look for can help you avoid more expensive and disruptive damage.
1. Collapsed Drains
Whether caused by age, poor installation, heavy traffic or tree root damage, collapsed drains are one of the most serious drainage problems we fix. These usually require excavation and full pipe replacement, or trenchless drain relining where possible.
2. Cracked or Fractured Pipes
Hairline cracks and fractures allow wastewater to leak into surrounding soil, potentially causing subsidence, damp, and environmental contamination. This is common in older clay and pitch fibre pipes.
3. Tree Root Ingress
Tree roots are one of the most common causes of cracked and blocked drains in Farnborough. They seek out moisture and can force their way into pipe joints, causing serious damage. We use specialist cutting tools to remove roots and repair affected pipework.
4. Displaced Joints
Over time, pipe joints can shift due to ground movement or wear, leading to misaligned sections, leaks, or obstructions. Our CCTV inspections detect this fast, and we can re-seat or reline the pipe depending on the extent of damage.
5. Erosion or Ground Movement
Flooding, poor backfilling, or unstable soil can cause pipes to shift, sag, or collapse completely. This is especially common in areas of ongoing development or near large trees. We can carry out reinstatement and drainage realignment where needed.
6. Foul Smells & Water Backups
These are often early signs of structural problems — not just blockages. If your home or commercial property in Farnborough experiences frequent smells or backups, it's worth booking a professional inspection.
7. Improper Historic Repairs
We often encounter DIY fixes or bodged repairs done with cheap materials or poor techniques. We’ll strip back old fixes and implement long-lasting, regulation-compliant solutions you can trust.
8. Vermin Infestations
Damaged or open drains can attract rats and vermin. If you hear scratching or notice droppings near drains, it's possible you have a breach. We can investigate and install rodent barriers as part of the repair.
9. Flooding or Standing Water
Surface water flooding may be due to broken underground drainage. We offer soakaway repairs, land drainage solutions and sump pump installations to prevent future build-up.
10. Structural Drain Movement in Commercial Sites
For commercial clients, large concrete slabs or tarmac areas can hide collapsed or damaged drains. We use sonar tracing and core drilling to locate the fault and carry out the necessary reinstatement.
These are just a few of the issues we resolve every week for clients across Farnborough. If you’ve noticed something unusual or want to get ahead of a potential failure, give us a call today.
