Drainage in Dundee

It's a significant job, so knowing when to invest in a new drain installation is key. Many of our customers call us when they are facing a specific issue or starting a new project. You might need our service if you are:

• Building a New Property: We work alongside builders and architects to install complete foul and surface water drainage systems from scratch.
• Adding an Extension: A new kitchen or bathroom needs connecting to the mains drainage. We manage the entire process, including any work needed for build-over agreements with Scottish Water.
• Replacing Old, Failing Drains: Old clay or pitch-fibre pipes can crack, collapse, or suffer from root damage. If you're dealing with constant blockages, smells, or damp patches in your garden, a replacement might be the only long-term solution.
• Solving Garden Waterlogging: If your lawn turns into a swamp every time it rains, a professionally installed soakaway or French drain can effectively manage surface water and protect your property.
• Upgrading an Off-Mains System: If your old septic tank is failing or no longer meets Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) regulations, we can install a modern, efficient septic tank or sewage treatment plant.

Drainage groundworks is the term for any work that involves excavating the ground to install, repair, or replace underground pipes. It starts with careful planning and surveying, followed by digging trenches, laying the new pipework to the correct falls, connecting it securely, and then backfilling the trenches and reinstating the surface (like your lawn or driveway).

We strongly advise against it. Drainage installation is a skilled job that must comply with strict building regulations and be signed off. Incorrectly laid pipes can lead to blockages, leaks, bad smells, and even subsidence. Our professional team ensures all work is completed to the highest standard, giving you peace of mind that the job is done right.

The time it takes to complete a job varies hugely depending on the scale of the work. A simple repair might take a day, while a full installation for a new property could take a week or more. Factors like ground conditions, weather, and the complexity of the pipework all play a part. We will always give you a realistic timeframe before we start any work.

Not always. For some types of damage, we can offer "no-dig" solutions like drain relining, which repairs the pipe from the inside. However, for a completely collapsed pipe, excavation is usually the only reliable and long-term solution. Our team will always assess the situation with a CCTV camera first to offer you the most effective and least disruptive service possible.

We pride ourselves on leaving your property as we found it. Our service includes full reinstatement. This means we will professionally replace any turf, slabs, tarmac, or fencing that had to be moved to complete the drainage work. We handle everything, so you don’t have to worry about finding another company to finish the job.

The most obvious sign is water draining very slowly from your sink, bath, or shower. You might also notice gurgling sounds from the pipes, unpleasant smells coming from the drains, or rising water in your toilet when you flush. If you see any of these, it's best to call a professional.

Yes, when carried out by a trained professional. Our experienced team adjusts the pressure to suit the type and condition of your pipework. It's a far more effective and safer cleaning method than using harsh, corrosive chemicals, which can cause long-term damage.

While a plunger can sometimes shift a minor blockage, most serious issues are deep within the pipework. Our team has the professional equipment and experience to identify the real cause of the problem and provide a lasting solution, not just a temporary fix. This saves you time, mess, and the potential for making the problem worse.
