Services

Drain Unblocking

Our emergency drain unblocking service addresses immediate drainage issues with rapid response times. Using high-pressure water jetting and advanced diagnostic tools, we clear blockages caused by debris, grease, or tree roots. This service prevents property damage from flooding while maintaining compliance with environmental regulations.

CCTV Drain Surveys

We conduct comprehensive CCTV drain surveys to identify hidden issues in drainage systems. Our high-resolution cameras inspect pipes up to 200mm diameter, detecting cracks, leaks, or root intrusions. This non-invasive method provides accurate diagnostics for targeted repairs without unnecessary excavation.

Drain Jetting

Our high-pressure drain jetting service removes stubborn blockages and buildup in drainage systems. Operating at pressures up to 150bar, this method effectively clears fat deposits, scale, and debris from pipes ranging 40-150mm diameter. Regular jetting maintains optimal flow rates and prevents future blockages.

Lead Pipe Replacement

We replace hazardous lead water pipes with durable blue polyethylene piping. This service eliminates health risks from lead contamination while improving water pressure and flow. Our team handles both internal and external pipe replacements, complying with Water Supply Regulations 1999.

Water Main Leak Repair

Our leak detection service identifies and repairs water main fractures using acoustic listening equipment. We specialise in locating underground leaks beneath concrete or tarmac surfaces. Repairs utilise moling techniques to replace damaged sections with minimal disruption to property surfaces.

The problem? A Victorian drainage system that entailed excavation work and rerouting. This entailed tracing the old pipework and rerouting all drainage from the house and outhouses.
Ray gave us accurate description of the work this entailed during his initial visit to assess the problem. He was direct and honest in his assessment. He, Dan and Niall arrived promptly at the agreed time and set to work in an organised and professional manner. This gave us time to alert neighbours that the work would close rear access to their houses. The first day's work was completed on time and the access was

Ray and team provided us with a very high quality of service from beginning to end. They fitted a new plastic water pipe into our property from the mains so that we can disconnect the original lead piping. Ray was helpful, knowledgable and efficient throughout.

Highly recommend DHC Utilities. Had a blocked drain problem at my house and Ray and team came out and did an excellent job. Drain was completely blocked with roots and they somehow managed to get it all clear and I could see on the video that it was perfect afterwards. Very professional, quick, well priced and efficient. Would highly recommend.

Ray helped me out at very short notice & unblocked a backed up drain. He was friendly, thorough and very helpful. He'd previously dug up and replaced all my drains at the back of the house & I was really pleased with his work. Would recommend to anyone.

First class service from Ray and his team from coming out to quote to completing the job. So professional, friendly and left the garden tidier than they found it! We had a whole new drainage system put in and was project managed within an inch of it's life, everything ran like clockwork and was complete almost to the exact minute Ray estimated. We couldn't sing their praises enough and would recommend them 100%. It was brilliant seeing them carry out what they know best. Thanks very much Ray and the team. Denise & Mike (Levenshulme) :)
