How Do We Fix Blocked Drains?

Just before we head to your property, we’ll chat with you to clarify the issue you’re facing. This ensures we’ll be fully equipped to fix the problem on the spot.

Once we’re on-site, we’ll inspect your drains to determine the cause of the blockage. Sometimes, it’s as simple as a buildup of grease or hair. Other times, we find more serious issues, such as collapsed pipes or tree roots. We often conduct a CCTV drain survey to provide a clear, accurate picture of the problem.

For minor blockages, we use techniques such as plunging or drain-snake clearing. If the issue is more severe, we may use high-pressure drain jetting to clear the drain. In cases where external blockages require excavation, we’re fully prepared to handle that too.

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 build up 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.
