Water Pipe Installation and Repair in Dorset
New mains supplies, underground water-pipe replacement and repairs for commercial and domestic properties
Dorset Drainage Services provides dedicated water-pipe services covering new installations, leak repairs and replacement underground supply pipework.
Our wider capability includes impact moling and electronic leak detection, allowing investigation, installation, repair and reinstatement to be coordinated through one contractor.
Commercial Water Supply Works
Projects can range from repairing an isolated leak to installing or replacing an underground supply.
We can assist with underground water-supply work for:
- Commercial sites
- Industrial premises
- Development projects
- Managed estates
- Schools and public buildings
- Rural businesses
- Residential developments
- Individual properties
New Water Main Installation
New or upgraded water supplies may be required for:
- Developments
- Commercial buildings
- Property conversions
- Replacement ageing pipework
- Increased demand
- New site infrastructure
We can undertake underground installation and associated excavation and reinstatement.
Water Pipe Replacement
Old or repeatedly failing water supplies can sometimes be more effectively replaced than repaired repeatedly. Depending on the site, installation options can include:
01
Open excavation
Conventional trench excavation where appropriate.
02
Impact moling
A trenchless approach that can reduce disturbance beneath driveways, hardstanding and landscaped areas.
Water Pipe Repairs
Where a supply pipe has failed, we can locate the issue, expose the damaged section and undertake the necessary repair. Our related leak-detection service allows the likely source to be investigated before unnecessary excavation occurs.
Leak Detection
Electronic ground microphones and other specialist equipment can be used to locate underground water leaks. This is particularly valuable where the route of the supply is unclear or there is no obvious surface indication of the defect.
One Contractor From Detection to Reinstatement
A water supply project may require:
- 01Leak investigation
- 02Service tracing
- 03Excavation or moling
- 04Pipe repair or replacement
- 05Testing
- 06Reinstatement
Keeping these stages within one contractor simplifies communication for commercial clients, property managers and homeowners.
Commercial & Development Water Infrastructure
For new developments or commercial sites, early discussion can help establish the proposed route, access, existing services and programme. Send drawings where available so that the installation can be considered alongside other groundworks and site activity.
Planning new water infrastructure?
Send us your site information, drawings or proposed route and we can discuss the installation requirements.
Domestic Water Supplies
We also repair and replace underground water pipes serving individual homes, including installations beneath drives and gardens. Where a finished surface needs to be crossed, we can assess whether impact moling could reduce disruption.
