What Causes Your Drains to Block?

Blocked drains occur when debris such as grease, fat, food, hair, soap scum, or foreign objects accumulate in the pipes, obstructing the flow of water. Tree roots can also invade underground pipes, causing significant obstructions, as they naturally seek out moisture. If left untreated, this could escalate into more severe problems, including pipe damage and flooding.

The quick solution is to use drain rods, which are highly effective for more minor blockages. These long, flexible rods are screwed together to reach deep into the pipework, where they can push through the blockage and break it up manually. They are a cost-effective solution for straightforward problems and are usually our first port of call.

CCTV Drain Surveys

We use a small, high-resolution camera attached to a flexible rod to inspect the inside of the drainage system and provide a live video feed. This method is highly effective in identifying the location and cause of the blockage, and our recorded results can be shared for insurance purposes. It also minimises disruption, as no pipework has to be dug up.However, our team is skilled in groundworks and can quickly rectify any issues that arise.

Drain surveys can easily detect issues such as:

Cracks or Breaks in the Pipework
Partial or Fully Collapsed Drains
Build-Up of Debris
Nesting Animals
Tree Root Invasion
Corrosion in Older Drains

Drain Jetting

This solution to blocked drains involves using high-pressure water jets to clear pipes, i.e. stubborn debris, grease, and tree roots. The water jet is powerful enough to reach areas that standard rods can’t and will easily dislodge and flush away the materials causing the problem, restoring normal flow.

It’s an ideal drain-cleaning method that solves minor and severe blockages and helps prevent future issues. Another significant benefit of drain jetting is that our drainage company only uses water to clear the pipework without harsh chemicals. This aids in our commitment to a more sustainable and eco-friendly approach to our work.
