Blocked drains

Blocked drain? We’ll clear it and find out why it happened

Clearing a blockage is the easy part. Stopping it coming back is what saves you money. We clear the drain, then find the cause, whether that’s grease, tree roots, a collapsed pipe or something that shouldn’t have been flushed.

Common questions

Why does my drain keep blocking?

The usual causes are tree roots getting into joints, grease building up in kitchen lines, or a sagging or cracked pipe. If a drain blocks more than once, it’s worth finding the cause rather than clearing it again.

Should I use drain cleaner first?

Chemical cleaners can damage older pipes and rarely shift a real blockage. If one go with a plunger doesn’t work, call us.

Is drain cleaning worth the cost?

A cleared drain costs far less than water damage or an overflowing sewer, and fixing the cause once is cheaper than repeat callouts.
