Drain damage is not just your sink getting blocked or water moving slowly. Repeated blockages, unpleasant smells, flooding and the ground around your property could become damaged due to cracked pipes, tree roots or ground movement among other issues. Just get the issue checked before it gets worse if you see these indications.
For Drain Repairs in St Helens, Mersey Rod provides professional drainage services for both homes and businesses. With more than 25 years of drainage experience in unblocking outside drains and inside drains, the team can find the cause of the problem and recommend the right repair.
How Is Drain Damage Found?
The first step is to find out what is wrong with the pipe. This is where Drain Surveying can help. Mersey Rod uses CCTV camera equipment to look inside the drainage system without needing to dig up large areas of your property. The camera can show cracks, damage, blockages, tree roots and other problems inside the pipe.
Once the problem is found, the team can work out where the repair is needed. Drain tracing equipment can also help find the exact position and depth of a damaged pipe, which can reduce unnecessary digging.
What Happens During a Drain Repair?
Mersey Rod first checks the damaged area and decides which repair method is suitable. If excavation is needed, the team aims to dig only the area required to reach the damaged pipe. The damaged section can then be repaired or replaced before the ground is filled back in.
This careful approach helps reduce mess and avoids digging up more of your property than necessary. Mersey Rod also provides a 12-month warranty on its drain repairs and construction work.
How Can You Keep Pipes Clean and Flowing?
By performing regular maintenance, you can minimise the likelihood of having drainage issues again. You can also read more about how professional drainage work can prevent future drain issues and address underlying problems rather than repeatedly treating blockages. Do not put grease, oil, wipes and other items that should go to the drain in your pipes. Not just serious blocking, but professional cleaning which also removes build-up.
Mersey Rod provides drain cleaning and uses high-pressure water jetting to clear waste and build-up from pipes. After cleaning, the team can carry out a flush test to check that the water is flowing properly.
When Do You Need Gully Emptying and Cleaning?
Rain is collected in outdoor gullies and moved through the drainage system. They can become blocked by leaves, mud, grit, rubbish and other debris. This can lead to an increased risk of water spilling over and flooding.
Gully Emptying and Cleaning removes this waste and helps gullies stay clear. Mersey Rod uses specialist gully tankers to remove debris, silt and other waste safely.
With fixed pricing, a no-fix, no-fee approach for drain unblocking and 24/7 emergency support, Mersey Rod helps customers deal with drainage problems safely and with less stress.
