How Do We Fix Blocked Drains?

Just before we leave to attend your property, we’ll chat with you to get a proper understanding of the issue you’re facing. This ensures we’ll be fully equipped with everything needed to fix the problem right there on the spot.

Once we’re on-site, we’ll inspect your drains to identify exactly what’s causing the blockage. Sometimes, it’s as simple as a buildup of grease or hair. Other times, we find more serious issues like collapsed pipes or tree roots. We use tools like CCTV drain surveys to get a clear picture of the problem — literally.

For minor blockages we encounter in and around Bristol and Bath, we draw on techniques like plunging or drain snakes. If things are more serious, we might use high-pressure drain jetting to clear the pipes. In cases where external blockages require excavation, we’re fully prepared to handle that too. Whatever it takes, we’ll make sure your drains are clear and working properly again in as short a span of time as possible.

Our services go beyond basic drain unblocking. If you’re dealing with recurring problems, we’ll identify the root cause and recommend long-term solutions. Sometimes, drains need more than just a quick fix. We can clean your drains thoroughly to prevent future clogs, repair damaged sections of pipe, or even replace parts of the drainage system if necessary.

We’re also experts in tackling tricky issues like clogged drains, slow drains and external blockages. No job is too big or too small for us, and we’re happy to help with domestic, commercial and industrial properties in Bristol, Bath and the wider South West.

Preventing Blocked Drains

We love helping people, but we know you’d rather avoid the hassle of blocked drains altogether. Here are some simple tips to keep your plumbing in good health:

  • Avoid pouring grease, oil or coffee grounds down the sink — they can cause build-ups over time.
  • Use drain covers to catch hair, soap scum and other debris.
  • Only flush toilet paper down the loo. Wipes, sanitary products and other items need to be placed in the bin.
  • Have your drains inspected and cleaned regularly to catch emerging problems before they escalate.

Taking these steps can save you a lot of time, money and stress in the long run.
