Why is trench laying important?
Proper trench laying is critical for ensuring the performance and safety of water mains systems. Here’s why:
Securely dug trenches prevent movement or damage to pipes, reducing the risk of leaks or failures. Proper positioning also safeguards pipes from external pressures and environmental factors that could compromise your system.
Trenches must be positioned to support consistent water pressure and flow throughout your plumbing system. Proper alignment and secure pipe bedding ensure the long-term performance and reliability of your property’s water supply infrastructure.

Can’t recommend Balway highly enough. Replaced our water main in a most professional and friendly manner. The job was challenging and took longer than anticipated, but they retained their sense of humour and ensured the job was completed to the highest level. We were so relieved that the job was done properly and to our fullest satisfaction.

Leaks, as well as the huge water bills associated with them, are a nightmare. Balway Ltd did an amazing job of replacing our old lead water supply pipe. They went above and beyond to make sure we were absolutely satisfied with the works that they carried out. I would definitely recommend this company to anyone regarding pipe replacement and repairs.
