Drain Service Questions

How does a CCTV drain survey work?

We insert a small waterproof camera into your drains to see exactly what's happening inside. This shows blockages, damage, root ingress, and pipe condition. You'll receive footage and a report of our findings.

What causes blocked drains?

Common causes include fat and grease buildup, hair, soap scum, food waste, wet wipes (even 'flushable' ones), tree roots growing into pipes, and collapsed or damaged sections of drain.

Should I try to unblock a drain myself?

Simple blockages near plugholes can sometimes be cleared with a plunger. However, for persistent blockages, bad smells, or slow drainage throughout your property, professional equipment is needed to properly clear and diagnose the problem.

How do you clear blocked drains?

We use professional drain rods, high-pressure water jetting, and electro-mechanical machines depending on the blockage. We'll diagnose the problem first and use the most effective method for your situation.
