Typically, we can book you in for a same day service at the best time for you. If all appointments are taken for that day, we will book you in for your chosen time the following day. If you are having major issues we will always do our best to be there as soon as possible. We understand that drainage problems can be stressful for you.
Drains can get blocked due to a wide variety of reasons: a damaged drain, a poorly designed drainage run, fat deposits that have collected within the inner bore of the pipe or root infiltration. Human error through putting items not designed to be flushed into the drainage system can cause issues. Drainage problems can also be exasperated by weather conditions.
Drains can have nasty smells for various reasons but it can be a symptom that there is a problem which needs fixing. A pipe could be blocked or damaged and could be causing a build-up of waste water, sewage, or fat deposits.
We accept cash, credit or debit cards, invoices, bank transfers and PayPal.
If a drain is in need of repair, we will typically excavate the area and replace the pipes. Other companies will use drain lining, but in our opinion, this is not the best option, as we find this causes future issues. It is an better option to replace the drain.
We have been operating for 25+ years. We are a family run business and have been since our founding. This forms the way we conduct business and give back to the community.
We use high pressure jetting to remove blockages that are present within your drains. This is a very efficient, fast, and environmentally friendly method. We always clean the area after we have finished the unblocking.
Yes we are fully insured, with a fully comprehensive policy. We also work closely with Health and Safety professionals so you can be confident that our work is carried out safely.
All of our staff are trained to an exceptionally high standard. Our engineers are registered members of the WJA (Water Jetting Association). We engage in a bi-annual training program review to ensure engineers are up to date in the latest industry developments.
Drains block for a variety of different reasons, the main ones being damage to the drain caused by grease and fat build up, excessive use of wipes or foreign objects becoming lodged.
In a soakaway drain, water is not deposited into the main sewer system but is deposited into a pipe in the ground so the water ‘soaks away’. Typically, soakaway drains are used for rain water only.
Jetting is the most effective way of clearing a drain for a number of reasons. Jetting offers substantially more force when removing a blockage, using rods carries risks as they can break and become trapped creating more of an issue.
Typically if a drain rod is not too far into the drain and by using a bit of persistence and some skill we can hook the jetter around the rod and bring it back to the surface. This usually works but occasionally excavation work will be necessary to remove the rod.
Drains can offer a warm sanctuary for rodents and the constant food supply they can receive from houses flushing food waste down the drains makes them an ideal place for rodents. By being only a few feet underground, drains provide a hiding place for rodents to breed and gain access to a property.
