👀 What's happening beneath the surface?

Sometimes what you see on the surface is only a small part of a much bigger problem!

Those little holes, dips and patches of sinking ground might not look like much, but they can sometimes be signs of what's happening underneath.

💧 Leaking or damaged underground pipework can wash away the surrounding ground, gradually creating voids beneath the surface.

Over time, these voids can lead to ground movement, sinking and even larger areas of subsidence.

🔍 At DMI Draincare & Groundworks Ltd, we investigate what's going on beneath the surface, identify the cause and recommend the right solution to put things right.

Don't ignore the little signs – they could be telling you something bigger is going on!

🔧 Drainage Repair – Sherburn in Elmet

Another small drainage repair completed by the team at DMI Draincare & Groundworks Ltd.

Following a homebuyer's drainage survey, signs of deterioration were identified around an existing clay gully. Erosion beneath the gully had created a void, while the rest bend connecting to the soil stack had also moved.

In our opinion, both defects required attention to prevent further deterioration and potential drainage problems.

The work carried out:
✔️ Removed and replaced the defective clay gully with a new access gully.
✔️ Replaced the displaced rest bend adjoining the soil stack.
✔️ Reconnected the new components to the existing drainage system.

As this property has a combined drainage system, both connections were incorporated into one line rather than installing two separate drainage runs.

Another job completed, addressing the issues identified and helping prevent further deterioration.

🌧️ IS YOUR DRAINAGE READY FOR AUTUMN?

We've had a very hot and unusually dry summer across Yorkshire this year. Whilst we've all enjoyed the sunshine, the prolonged dry weather can have an effect on the ground - and potentially on what is happening underneath it.

Something we've been seeing on drainage jobs is damaged and collapsed pipework.

When the ground becomes extremely dry, particularly where there are clay soils, it can shrink and move. That movement can put additional stress on underground drainage pipes, particularly older pipework or systems that already have weakened joints, cracks or other defects.

We've attended a number of properties where drainage problems have appeared following prolonged periods of dry weather.

Then there's root intrusion.

Trees and plants are naturally looking for moisture, and where underground drainage pipes have an existing crack, defective joint or opening, roots can find their way in. Once established inside the pipe, they can grow and trap debris, gradually restricting the flow.

And around Selby, Goole and the surrounding Yorkshire area, we also come across a lot of properties that rely on soakaway systems.

If a soakaway isn't performing properly, the problem can become very noticeable once the heavy autumn and winter rainfall arrives. Water that should be draining away can start sitting on lawns, patios and gardens, and in some cases can contribute to drainage backing up.

🚨 A blockage isn't always just a blockage.

If you've had a blockage recently, your drains are becoming slow, you've had repeated problems, or you've noticed water sitting where it normally doesn't, it could be worth finding out what is actually happening underground before the really wet weather arrives.

At DMI Draincare & Groundworks Ltd, we can carry out:

🔹 CCTV Drainage Investigations
🔹 Drain Cleaning & Unblocking
🔹 Root Intrusion Investigations
🔹 Drainage Repairs
🔹 Land Drainage & Soakaway Investigations

A CCTV investigation can help identify problems such as root intrusion, displaced joints, cracks, fractures, collapsed sections and other restrictions within the drainage system.

It's much better to find a drainage problem on a dry day than discover it when you've got heavy rain coming down and water backing up into your property. 🌧️

🚧 Another Successful Drainage Installation Completed! 🚧

We've been so busy on site recently that we're only just getting around to sharing some of our completed projects. This one was completed back in April and involved the installation of a brand-new surface water drainage system after the existing drainage had failed, causing extensive damage to the property.

Following a thorough investigation, we designed and installed a completely new drainage system to protect the property for years to come.

✅ Installed a brand-new surface water drainage system.
✅ Connected all existing downpipes into the new network.
✅ Installed two concrete catch pits to allow for easy future maintenance and desilting.
✅ Connected the new system into an existing surface water drainage network previously installed by our team, which safely discharges into a nearby d**e.
✅ Installed a new MDPE water supply pipe, bedded on sand and protected with pea gravel and warning tape.
✅ All drainage pipework bedded on pea gravel to ensure longevity and compliance with best practice.
✅ Full reinstatement of all flagged areas, gravel surfaces and lawns, leaving the property looking as though we'd never been there.

At DMI Draincare & Groundworks Ltd, we don't just repair drainage problems - we design and install long-term solutions tailored to each property.

If you're experiencing standing water, failed drains, flooding or drainage issues, our experienced team can help.

🚽 New Toilet Connection Installed in Market Weighton, Yorkshire 🚽

Our team was recently called out to investigate ongoing gurgling noises and foul odours affecting a property in Market Weighton.

After assessing the issue, we found that the existing underground toilet connection, installed by another contractor, was causing problems. As the property already had an external soil stack in place, we advised bringing the new toilet connection externally to provide a more effective solution.

✅ Existing underground sewer connection permanently capped off using bagging and concrete to prevent anything entering or discharging into the redundant connection
✅ Core drilling completed
✅ New foul waste pipe installed from internal to external location
✅ Pipework capped and left ready for the plumber to connect the new downstairs WC
✅ New T-junction installed onto the existing soil stack
✅ New toilet waste connection installed
✅ Sink waste bossed into the stack

All works were completed in just a matter of hours, leaving the client with a straightforward and reliable solution ready for the next stage of the installation.

Another great job completed by the DMI Draincare & Groundworks team! 👏

🚨 DRIVEWAY & PATHWAY TRANSFORMATION 🚨

What a difference! 👌

We removed the tired plum slate chippings and completely transformed this property with stunning 20mm golden gravel, instantly creating a brighter, more premium finish.

✅ Old plum slate removed
✅ 20mm golden gravel installed
✅ 2 new access gullies fitted
✅ Existing flags and block paving lifted
✅ Re-laid on a solid concrete bed for maximum longevity
✅ Finished with Mushroom Pro Joint for a clean, durable finish

The previous pathway had been installed using the dot-and-dab method, which can lead to movement and failure over time. We rebbed them on concrete to ensure it stands the test of time.

Quality workmanship. Attention to detail. Built to last. 💪
