Some pipes can’t be lined: full collapses, severe deformation, or shapes and access that rule out CIPP. In those cases K&M Drainage excavates only where CCTV or probing shows work is needed — not speculative trenches across the garden.
What’s covered
- Targeted excavation to failed sections
- Pipe replacement and reconnection
- Reinstatement of surfaces as agreed in the quote
- Photos of the open excavation for landlords and facilities teams
How we work
Confirm the defect and dig location from survey / probing.
Excavate, replace or repair the failed pipe, then backfill.
Reinstate to the standard agreed before works start.
When to call us
- Collapsed or severely deformed pipe
- Lining not suitable due to shape or access
- New connections that require open dig
- Failed section better replaced than patched
Pricing
Every job is priced individually once the problem is understood. Call or use the quote form.
Frequently asked questions
- Will you reinstate my drive?
- Reinstatement scope is agreed before works. Ask for that in writing on the quote.
- Can lining avoid a dig?
- Often — we’ll say if CIPP is viable after CCTV. See our drain relining page.
- Do you dig first?
- No. We excavate where the evidence points, not by default.
