At Blocked Drains York, we often receive queries about the feasibility of installing bends in underground drainage systems. As a leading drainage specialist in York, we're here to provide you with expert advice on this topic.

Underground drainage pipes are typically made from materials like PVC, clay, or concrete. These pipes are designed to withstand the pressure of soil and water, ensuring a smooth flow of wastewater from your property to the main sewer system. The standard diameter of underground drainage pipes ranges from 100mm to 150mm, although larger diameters may be used for commercial or industrial applications.

Yes, it is possible to put a bend in underground drainage pipes. In fact, bends are a common feature in many drainage systems, allowing for changes in direction and facilitating the connection of multiple pipes. However, it's essential to ensure that any bends are installed correctly to prevent blockages and maintain the integrity of the system.

There are several types of bends available for underground drainage systems, including:

• 45-degree bends
• 90-degree bends
• Swept bends ( gradual, curved bends)
  When selecting a bend, it's crucial to consider factors like pipe diameter, material, and the specific requirements of your drainage system.

Manufactured bends, such as those produced by FloPlast, are designed to meet specific standards and are often more cost-effective than fabricated bends. However, in some cases, a fabricated bend may be necessary to accommodate unique system requirements.

The cost of underground drainage bends can vary depending on the type, material, and diameter of the pipe. On average, a manufactured bend can cost anywhere from £10 to £50, while a fabricated bend may be more expensive, ranging from £50 to £200 or more.

When installing a bend in an underground drainage system, it's essential to consider the overall system design and ensure that the bend is compatible with the existing pipes and fittings. A poorly installed bend can lead to blockages, backups, and costly repairs.

The type of soil and drainage conditions on your property can also impact the installation of a bend in your underground drainage system. For example, in areas with high water tables or unstable soil, it may be necessary to use specialized pipes or fittings to prevent damage or collapse.
