Drainage FAQs

A CCTV Drain survey takes around 1-2 hours to complete. Sometimes, the cause of a drainage issues is obvious, but as your drains are underground, it can be hard to identify more complex issues. That is why the best course of action is often a CCTV drain survey. These surveys allow us to see underground and diagnose your drainage issues very accurately.

In drainage emergencies, we aim to address the problem within one hours. For any other non-emergency, we offer flexible booking times to allow you to choose a time that suits you best. The length of the drains unblocking and actual service varies based on what is causing the blockage.

 

If you are experiencing problems with your installation or are having tripping issues it is a good idea to have an EICR completed as this will give you an idea of the condition of the cabling within your property.

Your drains have just been unclogged and you’re wondering “how do I avoid blocked drains in the future?”. Here is a list of what to avoid putting in drains to prevent blockages.

  • Hand/Baby wipes
  • Sanitary products
  • Nappies
  • Cotton buds or pads
  • Coffee grounds
  • Hair
  • Grease, fats or oils
  • Conventional cleaning products
  • Flushable cat litter

The first signs of a blocked drain are usually very obvious, with slowly draining water, and an overflowing toilet being key indicators. However, sometimes the signs of blocked drains are less obvious, for example, you may notice a sulfuric smell, or other noxious odour, or you may even hear gurgling. If you are unsure, you can call a professional for a drainage survey.
