Drain Repairs — frequently asked questions
How do you decide between pipe relining and excavation?
It depends on the extent and location of the damage. Pipe relining is a trenchless repair that avoids digging up your garden or driveway where the pipe condition allows it; excavation is used for more severe or widespread damage. A CCTV survey helps us recommend the right option before any work starts.
Will a drain repair damage my garden or driveway?
Pipe relining is designed to avoid excavation entirely. Where excavation is genuinely needed, we'll explain the extent of the work and the likely disruption before booking, and reinstate the area once the repair is complete.
How do you know a repair is needed rather than just a clear?
A CCTV drain survey shows whether a blockage is a one-off or a symptom of a cracked, displaced, or collapsed pipe. We'll only recommend a repair if the footage shows genuine damage.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No, Emergency Plumber Cardiff 247 does not charge any call-out fees. You only pay for the work completed.
