Services
Drain Clearance
Our drain clearance service swiftly resolves blockages using high-pressure water jetting and modern equipment. We address residential and commercial drainage issues caused by debris, root intrusion, or collapsed pipes. With rapid response times and minimal disruption, we restore functionality to your drainage system efficiently, ensuring long-term reliability for properties across North Devon.
Drain Lining
Drain lining offers a cost-effective, non-invasive repair solution for cracked or damaged pipes. Using cured-in-place liners, we reinforce existing pipework without excavation. This method suits driveways, patios, and conservatories, avoiding extensive reinstatement. Our team ensures durable, seamless repairs that prevent leaks and structural damage in both domestic and commercial settings.
CCTV Drain Surveys
CCTV drain surveys provide accurate diagnostics of drainage systems using high-resolution camera technology. We identify blockages, cracks, or root ingress and provide detailed reports with repair recommendations. This service is essential for pre-purchase property assessments or resolving recurring drainage issues, offering clear insights for targeted, efficient repairs.
Pitch Fibre Repairs
Pitch fibre pipe repairs address degraded 1960s-70s-era drainage systems prone to deformation and leaks. Our engineers reshape and line compromised pipes using no-dig technology, preventing further deterioration. This method avoids excavation, restoring stability to aging pipework in domestic properties across Barnstaple, Bideford, and surrounding areas with minimal disruption.
Drain Excavation
For severely damaged drains, our excavation service replaces old or collapsed pipework using manual or mechanical methods. We reinstate surfaces to their original condition after renewing drainage systems. This solution ensures long-term functionality for commercial and residential properties, combining traditional techniques with modern efficiency to resolve complex drainage failures.

Report
Brilliant service, noticed a potential problem with my Pitch Fibre drain, phoned Active Drainage, survey done within days, with an accompanying quote I could discuss with the Loss Adjuster from our Insurer (NFU). I spoke to the loss adjuster, they spoke to Active Drainage, paid the full estimate into my bank account, I booked Active Drainage to do the work, they arrived within days, did a very tidy job of digging up the patio/garage floor and making good afterwards. Within 4-5 weeks from highlighting a potential issue, we have new drains up to where it becomes the responsibility of South West

All I can say is that we were so satisfied that we used them again very shortly after their first visit as we needed some pipework doing for a separate job. Very very good and efficient.... very friendly and absolutely no fuss.

Would highly recommend these guys. They came very promptly, were friendly and very helpful. Reasonable price too. They came to re-line drains as we had been told by someone else they needed doing. On checking with their camera they said they didnt need re lining, it would be a waste of money! So the drains were jet washed . We were pleased with their work and pleased to find such honest people.
