Why is it Important to Repair Broken Drains Quickly?
When life gets busy, tasks like repairing a broken drain can slip down the to-do list. However, even small cracks and damage can quickly escalate. What starts as a small problem can end up causing a great deal of damage to your property, which can be costly to rectify.
Damaged drains are a common cause of structural damage in both domestic and commercial properties, and collapsed pipes can even cause subsidence.
Delayed drain repairs can also affect any potential insurance claims, which can be expensive for both homeowners and businesses. If an insurance company thinks you’ve avoided fixing drains when you knew there was an issue early on, they may even refuse to pay out.
In our experience, it’s always best to contact a drainage company, like Drain 365, as soon as you spot anything irregular with your drainage system.
Whether you’re relying on a septic tank system or your property is connected to the London sewer mains, you need to make sure that your drains are working efficiently and correctly.
What Causes Broken and Damaged Drains?
A variety of articles and issues can cause broken drains, particularly in urban areas. In our time carrying out drain repairs across London, we’ve seen it all. Here are some of the most common and recurring drain damage causes in both residential and commercial settings:
Collapsed Drains
If a drain’s pressure spikes too high or if the weight of the surrounding earth is too great, there is a chance that your drain pipes can collapse. Although your drains will be made of hard-wearing and damage-resistant metal, it is possible for them to collapse in on themselves over time.
This can be a major problem for your property. It can allow water and waste to seep out into the surrounding soil, and if this occurs close to your foundations, your property could become less stable.
This can be extremely costly to repair if left unattended for any length of time. Drain repairs are essential in these situations. Learn more about collapsed drains, and find out how our drainage specialists can help by filling out our simple contact form.
Vermin Infestation
Rats and other vermin love drains. Pipes are dark, warm, and wet — the perfect location to set up a nest. Rats and other pests can cause a great deal of damage to your drains, which may lead to extensive damage to your property.
Along with our pest control services, we can also provide solutions to prevent rats from entering the property in the first place. As they usually enter the building through the drainage system, we can fit rat blockers to stop them from gaining access.
Call our pest control experts on 0800 699 0922 for more information.
Tree Root Ingress
Tree root ingress is when a plant or tree’s roots enter your drain system. They can penetrate through very small gaps in drain pipes.
Once inside, these roots will quickly grow thanks to the moisture and nutrients in your wastewater. In some cases, these roots can cause immovable blockages or even cause the position of the pipe to shift.
If you suspect your drains are affected by tree roots, contact us to arrange a speedy solution.
Immovable Blockages
Blockages are undoubtedly one of the most common problems when it comes to drainage systems. In many cases, you can unblock a drain yourself, but if you notice stubborn, plunger-resistant blockages, it’s time to call the professionals.
Most blocked drains are the result of poor drainage care. Flushing the wrong materials down the toilet or pouring the wrong things down your drain can quickly lead to a blocked pipe. When the problem persists, the blockage can become firm and difficult to budge — these are known as immovable blockages.
These blockages can expose other faults in the system, putting pressure on any existing cracks or weaknesses and making them worse, leading to potential flooding.
Our drainage experts can use effective water jetting to break down and force out any blockages before repairing your drainage system.

Innovative Drain Repair
Services in London
Our team of plumbers are equipped with the latest technology and years of experience in the industry. We provide dig-free drain repair services across London.
When we arrive, we’ll carry out a CCTV drain survey to help pinpoint the source of the problem — this allows us to get to it quickly without the need to excavate the area. Once we find the problem, we’ll find the ideal solution — whether that’s removing tree roots or getting rid of a blockage.
Using durable, high-quality resins, we can then re-line your drainage system to fill in any cracks, gaps or other holes in the pipes — we essentially form a new pipe within the existing one. This is a much more affordable solution compared to traditional excavation and reconstruction techniques and protects your pipework against chemical attacks and corrosion. It’s also a more eco-friendly option than replacing drains completely.
We offer a wide range of pipe sizes, from 4 inches to 12 inches, so we can fix any type of drain pipe.
Immovable Blockages
Blockages are one of the most common problems when it comes to drainage systems. Most commonly, these issues develop as the result of poor drainage care. Flushing the wrong materials down the toilet, or pouring the wrong things down your drain, can quickly lead to a blocked pipe.
Blocked pipes can expose other faults in the system, such as cracks, so not only could your property flood from a blockage, it could also put pressure on existing cracks and worsen the damage. Contact our team to see if we can help you.

How do you repair a drain pipe?
In our experience carrying our drain repairs across London, we’ve found that the best method for repairing a drain pipe is to reline it.

Yes, a collapsed drain can cause subsidence by allowing water to erode or weaken the soil beneath your property’s foundation. This can potentially lead to structural instability over time. This is why it’s important to repair the damage as quickly as possible.
