Specialist Drainage & Water Mains Solutions Birmingham
From emergency toilet and gully blockages to industrial vacuum tankers, trenchless pipe relining, and impact moling water mains, we cover the full lifecycle of subterranean assets.
Drain Unblocking & Jetting
When internal toilets surcharge or external gullies overflow in Birmingham, immediate intervention is essential to prevent costly inventory loss and health code violations. Our mobile response fleet carries van-mounted 4,000 PSI high-pressure water jetting systems capable of slicing through stubborn fats, oils, grease (FOG), heavy mineral scale, and wet-wipe agglomerations in pipes ranging from 100mm domestic connections to 600mm commercial culverts.
Trenchless Drain Repairs
Excavating busy Birmingham thoroughfares like the Bristol Road or city centre commercial zones creates immense logistical disruption and permit delays. We prioritise trenchless 'no-dig' patch repairs and structural cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) relining. By inserting ambient or hot-cure silicate liners directly into fractured or displaced pipework, we create a rock-solid, watertight barrier with a 50-year design life without breaking surface tarmac or tiled floors.
Robotic CCTV Drain Surveys
Before purchasing commercial real estate in Birmingham, undertaking building extensions, or signing commercial leases, an undisputable underground survey is vital. We deploy robotic pan-and-tilt crawler cameras and flexible push-rod systems equipped with sonde transmitters. You receive an indisputable WRc-standard PDF survey report containing high-definition video, defect grading, and fixed-price remedial plans for insurers or local water authorities.
Trenchless Water Mains Moling
Severn Trent approved pneumatic impact moling to replace corroded, low-pressure, or toxic lead water supply pipes with modern MDPE beneath driveways and lawns without open trenches.
Emergency 24/7 Callout Desk
Instant priority dispatch across Birmingham city centre and suburbs for severe internal sewer overflows, collapsed culverts, and commercial drainage emergencies within 60–90 minutes.
Tanker & Liquid Waste Extraction
Heavy industrial manufacturing plants, food preparation facilities, and automotive premises across Birmingham generate significant volumes of liquid effluent, interceptor sludge, and grease waste. Our high-capacity vacuum tankers provide rapid de-sludging, pump station emptying, and road gully clearance, holding full Environment Agency Upper-Tier Waste Carrier licensing with electronic Duty of Care consignment tracking.
Sewer Rehabilitation & Patching
Extensive sewer degradation, pitch fibre deformation, or severe tree root intrusion requires comprehensive rehabilitation. SOS Group Services utilises mechanical root reaming cutters, high-velocity descaling flails, and full-length continuous inversion lining to restore hydraulic capacity to aging Birmingham sewer infrastructure without requiring destructive open-cut trenches.
Civil Groundwork & S278 Connections
Specialist groundwork, highway drop kerb permits, reinforced concrete slabs, soakaways, and Severn Trent approved sewer connections for commercial developers and housing schemes.
Trenchless Impact Moling & Lead Pipe Replacement Across Birmingham
Thousands of period and Victorian homes across Birmingham (including Edgbaston, Harborne, Moseley, and Sutton Coldfield) still receive their water through degraded lead supply pipes. SOS Group Services is the region's leading impact moling contractor, pulling new blue MDPE pipes underground with zero open trenches.

Trusted & Recommended by Real Customers
“A commercial kitchen main sewer collapsed right before a Friday evening rush in Digbeth. SOS had a high-capacity jetting unit and CCTV crawler on site within 45 minutes. They cleared the blockage and completed a patch reline without excavating our restaurant floor. Utterly first-class professionalism.”
Marcus Vance
Estate Operations Director, Digbeth Hospitality Group
Digbeth, Birmingham • August 2026
“We contracted SOS Group Services for an estate-wide WRc drainage survey across three Victorian buildings. The video logs, sonde depth readings, and itemised defect schedules were delivered ahead of schedule. Their directly employed engineers are courteous, DBS checked, and thoroughly reliable.”
Eleanor Hayes
Senior Facilities Lead, Edgbaston Medical & Commercial Estate
Edgbaston, Birmingham • July 2026
“Our external stormwater gully had been overflowing repeatedly during heavy downpours. SOS diagnosed root intrusion from a neighboring oak tree using their camera, milled the roots mechanically, and installed a smooth resin sleeve. Clean, tidy, and no extra hidden charges.”
