Drainage repair works on existing systems — collapsed or blocked runs excavated and re-laid, damaged connections rebuilt, gullies and manholes repaired, and surface-water problems traced to their cause before the ground is reinstated. Repairs are carried out to the same standard as new installations so the system can be recorded and signed off.
Drainage repair means finding the point of failure — a collapse, a displaced joint, root ingress, a broken connection or a run laid to the wrong fall — excavating down to it, replacing the damaged section on proper bedding, and reinstating the ground or surface above. Rayco Civils carries out drainage repairs and replacements across Ireland.
Repeat blockages in one spot usually mean a physical defect rather than misuse: a collapsed or cracked pipe, a displaced joint, root ingress, or a section laid to the wrong fall. Clearing it treats the symptom; the defect needs to be excavated and repaired.
In most cases only the failed section needs to be excavated and replaced, once the defect has been located. A full replacement is only needed where the run has failed along its length or was never laid correctly.
Pipework inside the property boundary is generally the owner's responsibility, and the public sewer is the utility's. Where the boundary of responsibility is unclear, it is worth establishing before work starts.
Yes. Excavations are backfilled and compacted, and surfaces such as driveways, paths and grass areas are reinstated as part of the works.
