There are a number of reasons why you may have a blocked drain but generally speaking, there are three main causes:
- Fat, grease and oils that are disposed of down your sink solidify when they cool and can cause a build-up in the system over time.
- Flushing non-flushable items down the toilet, such as wet wipes and nappies, can build-up and restrict water flow.
- Sometimes, external factors, such as tree roots, can cause problems with your drains and in the most serious instances, even collapse the pipes.
If you think you have a blocked drain, there are some common signs to look out for, including:
- Glugging plugholes
- Water that rises in your toilet after flushing
- Slow-draining showers, baths and sinks
- Smelly drains
- Overflowing manholes and gullies.
If you have any of these problems in your home, it’s important to get your drains checked by an expert as soon as possible. Doing so means you can prevent further damage from occurring.
We carry out a comprehensive drain survey to enable us to detect the problematic spots. With the use of the most current CCTV, the technician will isolate the areas of piping that are affected and begin to repair them.
Other telements we use to unblock drains:
- High-pressure drain jetting.
- Drain cleaning and scouring of debris.
- Preventive measures and maintenance services plan.
- CCTV monitoring to keep updated information on cracks, wear-outs, and broken pipes
