Collapsed Drain Under Patio
Drains running beneath patios are susceptible to collapse from ground movement, tree root damage, and the weight of heavy paving. A collapse can cause patio slabs to sink, crack, or become unstable, and may allow sewage to leak into the surrounding ground.
What to Look For
- Patio slabs sinking or becoming uneven
- Cracks appearing between or through patio slabs
- Foul smells around the patio area
- Waterlogged areas around the patio edge
- Ants or insects emerging between slabs
- Green algae growth in specific areas indicating moisture
How We Diagnose the Problem
We use CCTV drain cameras to inspect the pipe beneath the patio and determine the type and extent of damage. Drain tracing helps us pinpoint the exact position without unnecessary excavation.

How We Fix It
We lift only the slabs needed to access the collapsed section, replace or reline the damaged pipe, and carefully reinstate the patio. Where possible, no-dig relining avoids the need to disturb the surface at all.
