Drain Joint Sealing Repairs
Leaking or displaced pipe joints let water escape and roots in. We reseal joints properly to stop the problem for good.
Leaking Pipe Joint? Here's How We Fix It
Pipe joints are one of the most common failure points in a drainage system. When a joint leaks or shifts out of alignment, it can let wastewater escape into the surrounding ground, or let roots and groundwater find their way in.
Our engineers will use CCTV to pinpoint the exact joint causing the problem, then reseal or realign it using the right method for the pipe material and access available. We'll confirm the joint is holding before we finish.

Our joint sealing treatment process
Step 1 Contact
Contact the team if a drain joint is leaking, allowing groundwater infiltration, showing root ingress or causing localised deterioration. Share any CCTV findings, survey report or previous repair history if available. If the precise defect has not yet been located, we can arrange the investigation needed to confirm the affected joint.
Step 2 Quote
We verify the position, pipe size, material and condition of the defective connection and check that a local sealing repair is suitable. The quotation explains the preparation required, the proposed sealing method and any cleaning, access or follow-up inspection included, so the repair is focused on the defect rather than unnecessary replacement.
Step 3 Works
The pipe is cleaned around the repair location so contamination does not compromise the seal. Our engineers then carry out the specified local joint repair using a method compatible with the pipe and defect. The aim is to close the leakage path, stabilise the connection and retain as much of the existing drainage system as practical.
Step 4 After care
After the repair, we check the treated area and drainage performance to confirm the joint has been addressed. Where inspection access allows, a CCTV check can provide visual confirmation of the finished repair. We also advise on any underlying issue—such as movement, root ingress or wider pipe deterioration—that could affect neighbouring joints in future.
