Drain Repairs & Relining in Wem
No-dig drain relining and targeted excavation repairs for cracked, displaced and root-damaged drains, always preceded by a proper survey. Serving Wem and the surrounding villages, including Clive, Loppington, Edstaston, Aston.
Drains fail slowly and then suddenly. A hairline crack lets in roots, a joint settles a few millimetres, and a line that worked for decades starts blocking every winter. The fix does not have to mean digging a trench through your garden or drive.
The villages around Wem grew up along lanes rather than sewers, and most outlying properties run on private drainage. Older cottages often have tanks of considerable age and uncertain history, and nearby Wem Moss, like the other mosses, marks ground where drainage has always needed care.
Where the pipe is structurally sound enough, we repair drains from the inside by relining: a resin-impregnated liner is inserted into the pipe and cured in place, creating a new, jointless pipe within the old one. Localised damage can often be fixed with a patch liner over just the defective section. No-dig repairs mean no ruined lawns, no broken driveways, and usually a single day of work.
Buying or selling around Wem
Wem offers some of north Shropshire’s more affordable rural property, from town terraces to village cottages and smallholdings. That draws first-time rural buyers who have never owned a septic tank before, and we spend a fair amount of time here explaining systems to new owners and putting inherited problems right.
Access and practicalities around Wem
The lanes between Wem’s villages are narrow and bounded by ditches, and farm access can be tight. It is straightforward country to work in with the right planning, and we know it well.

Drain Repairs & Relining: common questions
How long does relining last?
A properly installed cured-in-place liner is a structural repair with a design life of decades, comparable to new pipework.
Will you need to dig up my drive?
Usually not. Liners are installed through existing access points such as manholes and rodding eyes. Excavation is reserved for collapsed or badly deformed sections that a liner cannot fix.
How disruptive is the work?
Most domestic relining jobs are completed in a day, and you can normally use your drains again the same evening once the liner has cured.
