Drain repair and relining: what the job involves

Fixing an underground drain that is cracked, collapsed, displaced or full of roots, either by relining it from inside with a resin liner, without digging, or by excavating and replacing the damaged section.

How long it takes: Usually a day for relining; several days if the drain is dug up, deep, under a driveway or near walls.

What affects the price

  • Relining versus excavating
  • Depth and length of the damaged section
  • The surface on top: lawn, paving, concrete or a driveway
  • Number of branch connections that must be reopened after relining
  • Access for a mini-digger, and how close the pipe is to walls
  • VAT: building work on a home is charged at the reduced rate of 13.5% by a VAT-registered business — unless the materials come to more than two-thirds of the price, when Revenue’s two-thirds rule applies the goods rate to the whole job. Ask whether a quote includes VAT.

County Donegal: what the figures say

  • 32.6% of households in County Donegal live in homes built before 1981 — below the national figure of 40.7%, and the 22nd highest share of the 26 counties.

    Older drains are more often clay pipes, which crack and let roots in over time; a CCTV survey shows their condition before anything is dug up.
