Drain repairs, excavation & patch lining in Edinburgh
Drain Repairs & Excavation in Edinburgh (including Leith and Morningside): drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys — Gas Safe where required, fixed quotes, PK Plumbing, 180+ reviews.
Edinburgh tenements and townhouses are shared stacks, stairwell access and careful work around older fabric. We see macerators in tight bathrooms, combis that struggle with pressure, and heating upgrades where the building itself limits what you can do. Leith through to Morningside — we work to how the property is built, not a catalogue script.
Emergency clearance still happens when sewage is backing up — but drain repairs & excavation callouts are quoted repair phases, not endless jetting on a broken pipe.
Why choose us
Fully insured drainage engineers; we explain dig vs patch vs liner in plain English before ground opens.
When you need structural drain repair in Edinburgh
We keep digs as small as the defect allows and reinstate paths, paving or turf properly — not a trench that sits open for weeks. You get a written scope before we open ground, and testing on completion so you know the line runs.
Lining isn’t universal: sometimes a short dig is cheaper, safer or more honest. We’ll tell you which option matches your pipe material, depth and insurance expectations.
Common questions in Edinburgh
- Do you work on tenement plumbing and shared drains?
- Yes. Shared services and awkward access are normal here. We will say what looks like your side versus common parts when it affects the job.
- Can you repair Saniflo or macerator pumps?
- Regularly — pumps, alarms and discharge lines. We test after the repair.
- Are you Gas Safe registered?
- All gas work is Gas Safe registered. Registration details on request.
- Do you offer leak detection under floors or in kitchens?
- Yes. We trace hidden leaks properly and open up only as much as we need to prove the source.
Typical work we see in Edinburgh
- Tenement stacks and stone buildings — macerators, pressure quirks, shared services.
- Hidden leaks with notes and photos when water has tracked under floors.
- Heating upgrades matched to the building: TRVs, zoning, realistic boiler size.

Clearance first — repair when the pipe is damaged
This page is about excavation, patch repairs and lining after we know what’s wrong. If you’re fully blocked today, our blocked drain team in Edinburgh can restore flow as a separate emergency job — then we book repair with a proper scope.
Most repair quotes follow CCTV in Edinburgh so we’re not guessing underground. High-pressure drain jetting in Edinburgh clears soft blockages but doesn’t fix cracks or collapsed short lengths.

Expert drain repair & excavation in Edinburgh
If you’re backing up today, clearance can be phase one and repair phase two. Jetting restores flow on soft blockages; it doesn’t fix a crack or a dip — we separate those jobs so pricing stays clear.
