Why Choose I Dig Drains and Water Mains for Your Cheshire Property?

As Macclesfield’s trusted drainage and water main specialists, we provide fast, reliable, and fully certified solutions for homes and businesses. Whether you need emergency drain unblocking, a CCTV survey, or a lead water pipe replacement, our team holds WIAPS and WJA accreditations to ensure the highest standards of safety and quality. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing, local expertise, and using advanced no-dig technology to resolve your issues efficiently.

Local experts you can actually trust

Why choose us over a big national franchise? Honestly, it’s about the personal touch. When you call us, you aren't talking to a call centre in another city; you’re talking to a local business that cares about its reputation. We’re fully certified with the Water Jetting Association (WJA) and we’re WIAPS-approved, which means we’re recognised by the water industry for our high standards. Plus, we carry £5 million in public liability insurance. It’s that extra bit of peace of mind that tells you your home or business is in safe hands. We’ve seen every type of drainage drama Cheshire has to offer, and we’ve fixed them all with a smile.

Clearing stubborn blockages with ease

Sometimes a simple plunger just won't cut it. When you’re dealing with years of scale build-up, grease from the kitchen, or those infamous 'fatbergs', you need something a bit more powerful. Our high-pressure water jetting is the gold standard for clearing drains. It doesn't just poke a hole through the blockage; it scours the pipe walls clean, helping to prevent the problem from coming back next month. It’s safe for your pipes when done by our pros, and it’s surprisingly quick. From domestic sinks to large commercial drainage systems, we’ll get things moving again before you know it.

Seeing inside your pipes with CCTV

Wondering why that same drain keeps blocking every few weeks? It might be more than just a bit of debris. Our fibre-optic CCTV drain surveys let us see exactly what’s going on underground without digging a single inch of soil. We often find tree roots have snuck through a joint or a section of pipework has started to sag. If you’re buying a new home in Alderley Edge or Prestbury, a pre-purchase survey is a lifesaver. It’s much better to know about a collapsed drain before you sign the papers than to find out after you've moved in and the bathroom overflows.

Repairing drains without ruining your lawn

In the old days, a cracked pipe meant digging a massive trench through your driveway or garden. It was messy, loud, and frankly, a bit of a nightmare. These days, we prefer 'no-dig' solutions. We use resin-impregnated liners that we pull through your existing pipe. Once it sets, it’s basically a brand-new, structural pipe inside the old one. It’s like keyhole surgery for your drains. It’s faster, cleaner, and keeps your landscaping exactly where it belongs. Of course, if a pipe has completely collapsed and we have to dig, we’re experts at that too, and we’ll always leave the site tidy and reinstated properly.

Upgrading your water supply pipes

Is your water pressure a bit pathetic? Or maybe you’re worried about old lead pipes in your Victorian terrace? As WIAPS-approved plumbers, we specialise in water main services that most standard drain bashers can't touch. We can replace old lead lines with modern, safe MDPE pipework (the blue stuff), which often gives your pressure a much-needed boost. We also handle emergency burst pipes and faulty stop taps. If you've noticed a damp patch on your driveway that won't go away, give us a shout—it’s likely a leak on your private supply pipe, and we can fix it fast.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our drainage and water main services in Cheshire

How can I tell if my drain is actually blocked?

+

You will usually notice water taking a long time to drain away in the sink or bath. Other signs include a bad smell coming from the plughole, gurgling noises, or water rising in your outside drains when you flush the toilet.

Is water jetting going to damage my old pipes?

+

Not when it’s done right. Our engineers are trained to use the correct pressure for the type of pipe you have. It’s a safe way to clean out debris and roots without the need for harsh chemicals.

Who is responsible for fixing a leaking pipe in the street?

+

Usually, you are responsible for the water pipe that runs from the boundary of your property into your house. The water company generally looks after the big mains in the road. If you are unsure, we can help you figure out where the responsibility lies.

Why should I bother replacing lead pipes?

+

Lead is no longer used in modern plumbing because it isn't good for your health. Replacing old lead pipes with modern plastic ones usually improves your water pressure and gives you peace of mind about what your family is drinking.

What is a CCTV survey and do I really need one?

+

It involves putting a small camera down the drain to see what's happening. You need one if you have recurring blockages or if you are buying a house and want to make sure the drainage system is sound. It takes the guesswork out of the job.

Do you handle emergency repairs?

+

Yes. We know that a burst water main or a flooded toilet can't wait. We offer an emergency service to get to you quickly and stop the problem from getting worse.

What does being WIAPS approved mean?

+

It stands for the Water Industry Approved Plumbers’ Scheme. It means we are recognised by the water companies as being qualified to work on your supply pipes. It often makes it easier to get new connections or replacements approved.
