Drain Repair Services in Cumbria

Drain damage can arise from many causes: root ingress, ground movement, cracking, joint failure, or corrosion. At Unblock Cumbria, we deliver professional, long-term drain pipe repair solutions across Cumbria and the Scottish Borders. Whether you need a localized patch repair or complete trenchless relining across extensive runs, we restore performance without needless excavation — saving time, cost, and disruption.

We use advanced CCTV diagnostics, no-dig lining systems, and efficient excavation techniques only when necessary. Our goal: durable repairs that work seamlessly with your existing infrastructure.

Drain Repair Services

  • No-dig patch repairs for small cracks, fractures, or isolated defects

  • Cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP) relining for compromised runs

  • Joint sealing and flexible couplings to stabilise struggling connections

  • Excavated repairs where structural collapse requires full replacement

  • Root intrusion repair and ongoing protection

  • Pipe renewal and replacement for severely damaged infrastructure

  • Post-repair CCTV verification, pressure testing, and quality assurance

  • Written reports, photos, and maintenance guidance

We tailor repair methods to the severity and location of damage — ensuring repairs are cost-effective, long-lasting, and minimally invasive.

Why Repairs Are Important

Damaged drains left untreated lead to escalating problems: leaks, collapsing pipes, infiltration/exfiltration, ground subsidence, blockages, and flooding. Timely repair:

  • Prevents further degradation and structural damage

  • Ensures consistent flow rate and system reliability

  • Mitigates costs by avoiding full replacement until absolutely necessary

  • Preserves surrounding surfaces, landscaping, and infrastructure

  • Helps comply with insurance and building regulation requirements

At Unblock Cumbria, we emphasise early detection through inspection and preventative care to catch defects before they worsen.

Frequently asked questions

What causes drain damage?

Common causes include root intrusion, soil movement or settlement, freeze-thaw cycles, corrosion, aging materials, blockages, and external pressure (traffic, construction). Our diagnostic approach identifies the true root cause.

What is a no-dig patch repair?

No-dig patch repairs use flexible liners or resin-impregnated sleeves that are inserted through an access point and expanded over the damaged section. They cure in place, reinforcing the pipe without needing full excavation.

When is excavation necessary?

When the pipe has collapsed, joint separation is large, or underground conditions prevent effective lining, excavation is the reliable option. We still aim to minimise disruption and restore the surface carefully.

How long does a drain repair last?

With correct repair technique and quality materials, you can expect 10-25 years or more of performance. We provide guarantees and post-repair CCTV verification to confirm long-term integrity.

Can you repair pipes under buildings or driveways?

Yes — trenchless lining and flexible patching enable repairs beneath walls, driveways, or structures without full excavation. We plan access and reinforcement carefully to avoid structural issues.

Is CCTV inspection required before repair?

Always. A CCTV survey locates defects, assesses pipe condition, sizes damage, and ensures the repair method is appropriate. Without it, repairs risk overlooking hidden weaknesses.
