Find the failure before planning the repair
Older or damaged perimeter drains can be difficult to assess from above ground. We investigate the affected section and explain what is known before defining repair work.
Signs worth investigating
- Recurring water beside the foundation
- Suspected broken or blocked pipe
- A drainage issue that returns after clearing
Understand the cause first
We review access points, symptoms and known pipe routes. An inspection or test dig can help determine where the problem lies and what repair access will involve.
What the scope may include
- Camera inspection where access allows
- Targeted excavation and pipe repairs
- Backfill and surface reinstatement within scope

Plan access and restoration
We discuss the route into the work area, surfaces that need protection, excavated material and the agreed finish. The estimate should make it clear what is being opened up and what will be restored.
Match the solution to the conditions
A quotation should make the investigation limits and restoration work clear. Hidden conditions may require a revised scope, discussed before additional work proceeds.
