Collapsed Drain Under Driveway

A collapsed drain under a driveway is a common but serious problem. The weight of vehicles combined with ground movement can crack and collapse drainage pipes, leading to sinkholes, driveway subsidence, and sewage issues. Our team specialises in driveway drain repairs with minimal disruption.

What to Look For

  • Driveway surface sinking or cracking
  • Tarmac or block paving becoming uneven
  • Puddles forming in unusual places on the driveway
  • Sewage smells near the driveway
  • Visible cracks or gaps in the driveway surface
  • Recurring drain blockages traced to the driveway area

How We Diagnose the Problem

We use CCTV cameras to survey the drain run beneath your driveway, pinpointing the exact location and extent of the collapse without needing to dig up the entire surface. Drain tracing confirms the pipe route if no plans are available.

How We Fix It

For partial collapses, we may be able to reline the pipe using no-dig technology. For full collapses, we carefully excavate just the affected section, replace the pipe, and reinstate your driveway surface — whether that's tarmac, block paving, or concrete.
