The Last Resort—Handled by the Right Team

Drain excavation is never the first choice—but when structural damage is too severe for no-dig methods, excavation is often the only safe and lasting solution. Many clients face:

• Collapsed or completely broken pipework

• Major blockages caused by soil ingress or root damage

• Ground movement causing misaligned or sunken drains

• Repeated backups despite rodding, jetting, or relining attempts

• Risk of flooding, property damage, or foul waste leakage

• Long-standing drainage issues finally identified via CCTV survey

  
  

  At Eighty Eight, our skilled groundworks team carries out full drain excavations with care and control:

  
  

• Safe excavation to access and remove damaged sections of pipe

• Full pipe replacement using durable, regulation-compliant materials

• Manhole, chamber, and connector installation or repairs

• Ground reinstatement including tarmac, slabs, turf, or concrete

• Waste removal and site clean-up included as standard

• Pre- and post-excavation CCTV surveys to verify the issue and confirm the repair
