Establish what is damaged and who can instruct the work
A recurring blockage can be a reason to investigate, but symptoms alone do not identify a repair. Share existing survey findings, earlier clearance history and the location of the affected drainage.
Where a drain may be shared, confirm the appropriate responsible party before instructing private repairs. Havant Borough Council advises checking with the water authority in the first instance where shared drainage may be involved; see its official guidance.
Consider suitable repair methods
An internal lining may be considered where the pipe condition and defect allow it. See drain relining in Havant for the points to discuss.
Where an internal repair is unsuitable, direct access or another approach may be needed. Tell us about paved areas, structures and other surfaces around the affected section so access and reinstatement can be considered.
Compare a defined repair scope
A quote should be understood in terms of the affected section, preparation, proposed method and included checks. Clarify any excavation, handling of material and surface reinstatement.
If investigation reveals further damage, ask how a revised proposal would be agreed. SouthFlow covers Havant from its Petersfield base with £5 million public liability insurance.
Your Havant 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.
