Wrekin Drain Services offers a 24/7 emergency pump repair service, allowing us to quickly diagnose issues and carry out repairs to get your drainage system back in operation as soon as possible.
If you’re experiencing recurring blockages, unpleasant odours, or damp issues, the underlying cause may be a broken, collapsed, or displaced drain or sewer. Using a CCTV drain inspection, we can accurately identify and locate the problem. Once detected, the damaged section can be excavated, either manually or with a mechanical excavator, repaired, and the area fully reinstated.
Following the repair, WDS will carry out high-pressure jetting to thoroughly clean the system, followed by a final CCTV inspection to ensure the repair has been completed to the highest standard. This gives our clients peace of mind that their drainage system is restored and functioning like new.
This technique is ideal for repairing issues such as displaced joints, cracks, and sections of collapsed pipework. This approach is especially beneficial when the affected drain is located in a sensitive area, such as beneath a patio, driveway, or building.
Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) patch repairs offer a highly cost-effective and minimally invasive solution for fixing defects in drainage or sewer systems. This no-dig method uses a glass-fibre reinforced matting that is impregnated with silicate resin and cured directly on site. The repair patch is mounted on a packer, which is then inserted into the pipe and inflated at the location of the defect. Once cured, the patch forms a strong bond with the existing pipe, restoring its structural integrity.
Whether you’re extending your property, making alterations, or tackling ongoing drainage issues such as flooding, dampness, or slow-draining water, upgrading or installing a new drainage system may be necessary. It maybe that you your septic tank or sewage treatment plant is no longer fit for purpose or does not meet the General binding rules for septic tanks and small sewage treatment plant discharges. A successful installation involves several essential steps, planning a well-designed layout, excavating trenches, precisely laying pipes and inspection chambers to the correct gradients. Achieving the right fall and secure connections is key to ensuring efficient and reliable water flow throughout the system. Backfilling, compacting of the trenches and reinstatement of the area is an essential part of the installation.
Wrekin Drain Services is here to guide you through the entire process.
A drainage field is a purpose-built system designed to discharge and further treat wastewater from septic tanks or sewage treatment plants. It consists of perforated pipes laid in trenches, allowing the effluent to percolate into the surrounding soil where it undergoes aerobic treatment.
In comparison, a soakaway is a broader term referring to any underground structure that allows water—typically surface runoff like rainwater—to disperse into the ground. While soakaways are effective for managing surface water, they are not suitable for treating wastewater and are not approved for discharging effluent from septic tanks or sewage treatment systems.
If you’re dealing with persistent wet areas or flooding, Wrekin Drain Services can install new soakaways to help manage and resolve the issue effectively.
If your septic tank or sewage treatment plant is not draining properly
leading to frequent emptying or unpleasant odours, it could indicate a failed drainage field. In such cases, Wrekin Drain Services offers a comprehensive solution for restoring proper drainage system function. Our expert team can conduct a thorough site survey, carry out percolation tests, and propose a tailored drainage field design that meets both site conditions and regulatory standards. From initial assessment to full installation, we manage the entire process with precision and professionalism—ensuring your new drainage field is effective, compliant, and built to last.
Pump stations operate under demanding conditions and, without regular maintenance, can accumulate a build-up of sanitary products, fats, oils, and grease (FOGs). If left unchecked, these materials can lead to pump failures, potentially causing drainage backups, flooding, or even environmental pollution. Regular maintenance of pumping stations is essential for prolonging equipment lifespan, ensuring regulatory compliance, and preventing problems such as flooding or environmental pollution.
Effective maintenance and repair involve routine inspections, cleaning, and servicing to keep the system running efficiently and reduce the risk of breakdowns. This includes wet well cleaning, inspecting pipework, servicing pumps and control panels to identify and address any issues early on.
