Commercial Drain Repairs

WaterTrust contractors repair everything from a cracked run under a shop floor to collapsed sewers in service yards, with lining and patching used wherever excavation can be avoided.

Commercial Drain Repairs — common questions

Can you repair without closing the business?

Often — lining and patching work from existing access points, and excavation can be phased or done overnight where it can't be avoided.

Lining or digging?

If the pipe still holds shape, lining restores it structurally at a fraction of the disruption. Collapsed or badly deformed pipe has to be dug — a CCTV survey settles it.

Who's responsible for a shared commercial drain?
