Drain Repairs Lincoln

Before we quote, we confirm who owns the pipe. Shared and lateral drains in Lincoln are normally Anglian Water's responsibility, so we won't ask you to pay for a repair that isn't yours. If the damaged section is yours, many buildings insurance policies cover accidental damage to underground pipes, and our report and photos support a claim — speak to your insurer before work starts.

Relining avoids digging up drives, patios and gardens, and suits pipes that are cracked, leaking or root-damaged but still broadly in shape. Where a pipe has collapsed, our groundworks team excavates, replaces the section and reinstates the ground. Find out more about no-dig drain relining.

The West Parade and Brayford conservation area is full of Victorian terraced houses, where rear drains are often shared — and shared sections are normally Anglian Water's responsibility.

Lincoln's sewers are run by Anglian Water, not Severn Trent, and the city's wastewater is treated at the Canwick works.

Brayford Pool is a widening of the River Witham, linked to the Trent by the Foss Dyke, which dates back to Roman times. Storm Babet in October 2023 set record levels at Brayford Pool, Sincil Dyke and Stamp End Sluice, according to Environment Agency gauges.
