Hi , hope you can help. I cleaned my drains yesterday with a proper plumber's rod and noticed the water is rather muddy and took a long time to get through. ( I was rodding from one man hole to the other). I do susspect a broken pipe between the two man holes. Is there a lining I can install without having the water board to come and have a look, dig up the drive way etc.....?? The approx length of pipe is 10M.
Dranage problem.

what water ? .. does the water not run away ?
r u saying it runs clear at the top end and comes out at the other man hole dirty brown?
If the drains have collapsed u need to dig..if they simply have a hole or bad joint i thought u could get fibre glass tubing that would fit inside and seal both end?
u could get a cctv scan..dunno the cost £100 maybe
if u have a leak in ur drains and they run nr the house u need to fix it as water will soften the ground around ur foundations.
if ur house is pre 1927 (i think) and its shared with another house its the responsibilty of the water company.
Disclaimer..i beleive the above to be right but im no expert

camera try to get a fixed price quote but the muddy water is telling you already you have a prob
as for digging it up there might be no need as u can use a liner ( prefesionaly fitted by a hot water injection method
say you have to repair you can alwasy dig it up yourself but if you have to hire gear to do the job it can get expensive
if your handy and fit and able to use a very large hammer do it your self it isnt rocket science saving all the hire gear and a camera
