Collapsed Drain Under Garden

Garden drain collapses are often caused by tree root damage, ground movement, or ageing clay pipes. They can create sinkholes, waterlogged areas, and persistent foul smells. The good news is that garden drains are usually the most accessible and straightforward to repair.

What to Look For

• Sinkholes or depressions appearing in the lawn
• Unusually lush or green patches of grass
• Waterlogged or boggy areas in the garden
• Foul smells in specific areas of the garden
• Tree roots visibly penetrating drain access points
• Recurring blockages from garden drain runs

How We Diagnose the Problem

CCTV surveys reveal the condition of pipes running through your garden, showing collapses, root ingress, and other damage. We trace the drain route to map all pipes and identify which sections need attention.

How We Fix It

Garden collapses are typically repaired by excavating the affected section, replacing the pipe, and backfilling with compacted material. For partial damage, no-dig relining is often possible. We reinstate lawns, flower beds, and pathways as part of the repair.
