Define the repair from the findings
Provide camera evidence, the symptoms and previous clearance history. Repeated backing-up is a reason to investigate but does not establish the full repair requirement. Further inspection may be needed where the condition or location remains unclear.
Consider the method and surrounding property
Some defects may allow internal repair; severe damage may require direct access or excavation. Explain surrounding surfaces, nearby structures and working-space restrictions. Shared or managed areas may need separate access and authorisation arrangements.
Review the complete proposed job
Clarify preparation, repair extent, method and included checks. Where digging is proposed, discuss material handling and reinstatement of affected surfaces. Agree how unexpected findings would be addressed. SouthFlow carries £5 million public liability insurance and covers Basingstoke from Petersfield.
Your Basingstoke service questions
How do you decide which repair is needed?
The repair should follow evidence of the defect, its location and the pipe’s condition. Share any survey findings or previous work. If the problem is not yet clear, further inspection may be needed first.
Can a drain be repaired without digging?
Some defects can be repaired from inside the pipe using a suitable internal repair method. Other damage needs excavation or replacement. The condition of the pipe and available access determine the options.
Does a recurring blockage mean the pipe is broken?
Not necessarily. Repeated blockages can have several causes. A CCTV inspection may help establish whether damage is involved before structural repairs are proposed.
What happens if excavation is needed?
The proposal should explain the affected section, access requirements and how disturbed surfaces will be reinstated. Ask what material removal and completion checks are included.
Will my insurance cover the repair?
Check directly with your insurer. Cover depends on your policy and the cause of the problem. Ask what evidence and authorisation they require before commissioning work as part of a claim.
What if further damage is discovered?
Agree how unexpected findings will be handled before work starts. Any change to the repair scope and price should be explained and authorised before additional work proceeds.
How much does the work cost?
We quote for the work your property needs. The price depends on the problem, access, preparation and attendance arrangements. When requesting a quote, ask what is included and whether VAT or additional investigation charges apply.
