Blocked Drain Issue? Need to Hire a Drain Cleaner to Fix the Problem

Drains are easy to ignore. We never really see them, and when we take a bath or flush the loo we never really give any thought to where the water goes. Until, of course, a drain becomes blocked. When they get blocked, you suddenly find yourself having no interest in anything except getting the problem fixed because you know exactly where the water went – all over your floor. When your drains go wrong you need to find a competent, experienced professional company to clean out the blockage and get your drainage system moving again. And that is where we come in. We are Mersey Rod, and if you have a blocked drain in Preston, we are the first people you should call.

There are any number of ways that your drains can get blocked up. Sometimes there are build-ups of fat from cooking which congeal and coagulate into the now well-known “fatbergs”. These chunks of hard, sticky fat, and cooking oils can stick to the sides of a drain and clump together to prevent the flow of waste, causing water to back up along the pipe. Blockages can also be caused by a build-up of wipes, or all manner of other foreign objects that should not be able to get into the drainage system, but somehow manage to get in there anyway. These collections of random debris can get caught up with each other and wedged at the junctions between pipes, or where pipes bend and again they cause the flow of waste to be restricted, again causing water to back up behind the blockage.

If you have the misfortune of suffering with any of these issues, Mersey Rod are the experts to contact for dealing with blocked drains in Preston, because we have the skills and experience you need to solve your drainage problems.

We have many tools in our bag of drain care techniques. Simple blockages of the fatberg or debris build up sort are most usually resolved by the traditional tried and tested drain clearance methods that have been used for as long as people have been using drains to carry away our waste. We are pleased to be able to say that we have got many drains unblocked across the Preston area using our trusty tool sets, a liberal application of elbow-grease and some high-pressure water jets. At Mersey Rod we like to use these methods because they are simple, effective, quick and generally give our customers good results in a cost-effective and efficient way that causes the least possible disruption.

There are however always going to be some occasions when a blockage can be just too tough for traditional methods like these. Sometimes no amount of power behind the rods is going to do the slightest bit of good. In fact we have the skills and experience to know that you have to do these things with a high degree of sensitivity – excessive force could cause damage to the wall of the drain, so you need a drain clearance engineer who knows when to stop and take a different approach. As the masters of clearing blocked drains in Preston we are never worried by stubborn blockages and large accumulations of debris, and you should not be either, because when tradition fails we are able to turn to technology.

When rods and water jets are not up to the job we can bring in our powerful vacuum tanker to take care of things. This is game changing technology specifically and meticulously engineered to clear manholes and drainage systems of the most stubborn blockages leaving the entire system clean, clear and flowing freely once again.

When you need a drain unblocked in Preston you need to be sure that you have called in experienced, professional experts who will get the job done right first time, every time. Here at Mersey Rod we understand that nobody wants to deal with the inconvenience of a blocked drain more than once. We know this all too well and are proud to be able to say that we have left a long trail of satisfied customers who think we are the best people to deal with blocked drains in Preston – do not simply take our word for it, 98% of people who have given us a rating on Trust Pilot said that the services that we provide are “excellent” leaving us with an impressive 4.9 stars. So you see, we can assure you that you have no need to worry about that dodgy drain. “Unblock Preston” is our mission statement and we will do everything necessary to get your drain problems sorted.

Of course, sometimes issues with blocked drains do come back.  When they do it is usually an indication that there is a more serious problem at work than just a regular accumulation of fatbergs and wet wipes. Such things need a more detailed investigation but it can be difficult to work out exactly what the causes of such persistent problems are. One of the key features of a drainage system is that it is almost entirely under the ground, which means that there is no easy way to just “have a look” to see what the problem is – or even where it is.

Of course, you can just dig down into the system to see what is going on, but this is time consuming, expensive, difficult to organise – especially if the drain runs under buildings or other people’s property – and since you have no way of knowing where exactly in the system the problem is which means that you could dig up huge lengths of pipework that are perfectly fine, adding frustration to the expense and inconvenience. Even worse, in the process of digging down to the pipe-work you might accidentally cause additional damage to the system.

Luckily, as the experts in taking care of your blocked drain in Preston we have all the skills, experience and expertise you need to get things sorted and working again. We can conduct a detailed exploration of your entire drainage system using our state-of-the-art closed circuit television surveying equipment. This technology enables us to locate the problem, identify it and get it fixed permanently. We can’t promise that no digging will be required at all, but at least if a section of drain does need to be replaced, we keep disruptive digging to a minimum. In this way Mersey Rod can save you time, effort, money and disruption no matter how serious the problem.
