Know your drains
Drain Clearances
Understanding what causes blockages, how to spot them, and how we clear them — so you know what to expect when you call.
What can cause a blocked drain?
There are a few common issues that can cause your drainage system to become blocked:
- Solid deposits — Build-up of substances such as grease and oils that have cooled down and turned solid. This can have a big effect on the flow of your drainage system and cause it to back up.
- Non-flushable items — Items such as wipes and nappies or more obscure items can cause blockages within the pipework and lead to major issues.
- Environmental issues — Blockages can form due to root infestation from surrounding trees which have grown into the drainage system or from structural damage such as displacements which could be due to ground movement.
How do I know if my drain is blocked?
If you notice any of the below, please contact us:
- Overflowing manholes
- Smells from your pipework
- Rising water in toilet, sink or bath/shower
- Slow draining system
- Gurgling or bubbling noises when flushing
How will we clear the blockage?
We have a range of equipment to suit each type of blockage — from manual unblocking with drain rods to mechanical unblocking with high-pressure water jetting.
- Manual unblocking with drain rods for precise, targeted clearing
- High-pressure water jetting for stubborn grease, silt and debris
- Root cutting and chain flail for more stubborn blockages
- CCTV inspection to pinpoint the exact problem before and after clearing
