We know how upsetting an overflowing manhole, slow draining sink or bath or shower at your home or business can be so we have fully trained, insured and equipped local engineers on call 24/7 to deal with your blockages.

We have suitable equipment and experience to deal with all drainage issues, including:

  • Blocked urinals Blocked storm drains Blocked soakaways 
  • Dishwasher and washing machine flooding Investigation and resolving bad smells Drain cleaning 
  • Root cutting

We have CCTV drain cameras to locate the cause of the blocked drain which is included in our fixed price. 

Common causes of blockages include:

  • Fat, Oil and Grease build up (FOGS)
  • Root ingress
  • broken or damaged pipework
  • Incorrectly installed pipes
  • Foreign objects in pipes. 

Blocked kitchen sink, blocked basin, blocked bath and blocked showers are normally cleared using our cabling machines and wet vacs.

Blocked drains are normally unblocked using our high pressure water jetting equipment or our milling cables. Foreign objects and Root ingress can be cleared using the milling cables, rods and high pressure water jetting. 

We will always check with the CCTV camera once a blockage has been cleared to make sure everything is flowing and determine whether there will be ongoing issues. We will also wash down sewage which has been overflowing from manholes and gullies.
