Drain Realigning
A drain only works if it falls steadily towards the sewer. Ground movement, subsidence, poor original installation and root pressure can all leave a section dropped, lifted or twisted out of true, creating a low spot where water and waste sit and silt up again and again. Realigning corrects that geometry. We confirm the problem with a CCTV survey, expose the affected section, reset the pipe to the correct fall and alignment, and reinstate the ground. The result is a drain that drains correctly, for the long term.

How it works
- 1
Survey the fall
We run a camera through to find exactly where the pipe has dropped or shifted and lost its fall, and mark its position and depth.
- 2
Reset the pipe
We expose the affected section, reset it to the correct gradient and alignment and re-joint or replace pipework as needed.
- 3
Reinstate and check
We make the ground good, run a final camera check to confirm a clean, steady fall and back the work with our guarantee.

Common questions
Still not sure? Ask us anything — we're happy to help.
Repeated blockages in the same spot, despite clearing, often mean a dropped or displaced section. A CCTV survey confirms whether the fall has been lost.
Ground movement, subsidence, heavy loads above the pipe, root pressure and poor original laying can all cause a section to sag or shift over time.
Far better. Clearing a misaligned drain only buys time, whereas correcting the fall removes the cause so the recurring blockages stop for good.
