Blocked Drains Lincoln

As a homeowner in Lincolnshire, you may have invested in a beautiful block paved driveway, only to find it sinking over time. This can be frustrating and unsightly, but it's more common than you think. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we've seen our fair share of sunken block paving, and we're here to explain why it happens and what you can do to prevent or repair it.

Block paving can sink due to a variety of reasons, including:

• Poor Installation: If the block paving was not installed correctly, it can lead to sinking over time. A reputable installer should ensure that the base is level, compacted, and stable before laying the blocks.
• Settling Ground: Lincolnshire's soil can be prone to settling, especially after heavy rainfall or construction work. This can cause the ground beneath the block paving to shift, leading to sinking.
• Water Damage: Water can seep into the joints between the blocks, causing erosion and weakening the base. This can lead to sinking, especially if the drainage system is inadequate.
• Heavy Traffic: If your driveway is subject to heavy traffic, it can cause the block paving to sink over time.

If your block paving has sunk, don't worry! There are ways to repair it. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we offer a range of services, including:
