Emergency Drain Unblocking.

Blocked Or Slow Flushing Toilet, Sink, Bath Or Drain?

Why Is My Drain Blocked?

Blocked drains cleared within the hour. In newer properties a blockage is usually seen when a system has been accidentally overused or overfilled to the point that the flow rate has not been adequate enough to take the contents down to the main system, in these cases unblocking can be done both swiftly and effectively. Another common reason for blockages we see is the disposal of unsuitable materials like sanitary products and baby wipes, these products are being flushed down the toilet on a daily basis where the system just can’t take it. Given their ability to hold water and swell up to many times their size sometimes weighing up to 15 grams they can be just too heavy to travel into the main system.

From the point of toilet to the main line in the road can often be quite the distance and with older properties consisting of underground clay pipework with sharp angled bends means the aged clay is often seen to have degraded over time and with today’s waste and chemicals, take off its smooth outer layer and can act like sandpaper for the texture of these materials which again see these products being held in system as they do not degrade over time. None degradable products like baby wipes and sanitary products are not to be flushed under any circumstances, common incidents involving such items see them compressing together forming pressures strong enough to crack, dislocate and damage pipework severely. Blocked drains can often be cleared using drainage rods where for more aggressive blockages, high pressure aqua jetting is an alternative approach which then leaves the line clear for our engineers to ascertain the current health of the line with a camera inspection. we clear blocked drains fast.

Older Properties.

older properties blockages can occur due to a build-up of silt, debris, grease, detergent and not so limited to fat deposits as result of a displacement in the line being filled with these substances. A displacement in layman's terms is a gap in the pipework where they are no longer held together as first installed so do no longer let wastewater travel efficiently into the main system. These displacements can hold onto anything which isn’t the viscosity of water which causes a dam like structure contained in the pipework. More severe displacements can leak waste water into the ground surrounding them which further away from a property can usually avoid bad smells or dampness from affecting the property but can also still cause damage to the groundwork which would need to be assessed by one of our professionals. When it comes to any displacements in close proximity to your property then this is when line repair becomes more of an urgency and drain clearing is not enough. Some displacements can have been letting waste water into the grounds surrounding them for years and then it is only when the property is left vacant for a long overdue holiday do, we see the actual severity of the damage when it comes the form of dampness upside walls and leaving bad smells around the property. Other worst-case scenarios is able to wash away the foundations and lead to subsidence. Once the displacement fills with the above-mentioned substances this then holds onto higher ply/large bundles of toilet paper filling the circumference of the line where it then backs up to the point of the reported issue. blocked drains cleared same day.
