Inspection & Repair Services
To maintain a healthy water supply, South Coast Water Mains offers comprehensive inspection packages. By utilising high-definition CCTV surveys and acoustic leak detection, we can identify vulnerabilities before they turn into expensive emergencies.
From minor joint seals to replacing entire damaged sections, our work is carried out to the highest trade standards. For time-critical failures, our rapid-response team is strategically positioned across the South Coast to reach you in record time.
We pride ourselves on transparency; our detailed reports help you understand the health of your underground assets, allowing you to make informed decisions based on clear, professional advice.
Common Issues We Resolve:
- Burst Pipes: Often caused by ground movement or aging materials, a burst can lead to significant damage if not isolated immediately.
- Low Water Pressure: Usually a sign of a hidden leak or an internal blockage restricting your flow.
- Persistent Leaks: Corrosion and fractures can lead to increased water bills and structural erosion.
- Frozen Pipework: Sub-zero temperatures can cause pipes to expand and split; we provide both thawing services and permanent repairs.
- Corroded Infrastructure: Older lead or galvanised steel pipes eventually degrade, requiring modern, safer replacements.
Lead Pipe Replacement
Upgrade Your Water Quality and Pressure
If your property was built before 1970, there is a high probability that your underground
supply pipes are made of lead. Over time, lead can enter your drinking water, posing health risks,
while the pipes themselves become brittle and prone to leaks.
We specialise in the complete removal and replacement of old lead supply pipes, upgrading them
to modern, durable MDPE (blue poly) pipework.
Why Replace Your Lead Pipes?
- Health & Safety: Eliminate the risk of lead contamination in your drinking water.
- Improved Flow: Modern pipes often have a wider diameter, significantly improving water pressure and flow rates.
- Leak Prevention: Stop paying for wasted water and prevent damage to your foundations.
Moling Services
Trenchless Technology: No Digging, No Mess
The biggest fear homeowners have regarding underground works is the destruction of their
driveways, patios, or prized gardens. At South Coast Water Mains, we utilise impact moling, a
trenchless method that eliminates the need for large, open trenches.
How Moling Works: We dig small entry and exit pits, then launch a pneumatically driven "mole"
horizontally through the ground. This creates a smooth bore tunnel for new pipes or cables to be
pulled through.
The Benefits of Moling:
- Minimal Disruption: We save your driveway, lawn, and patio from being dug up.
- Cost-Effective: Less excavation means less labor and lower reinstatement costs.
- Speed: Jobs are completed significantly faster than traditional trenching methods.
