Blocked drains go from being a minor irritant into a major problem if they’re not treated properly. One of the problems of blocked drains is that they can creep up on you with little or no warning, and the problem can quickly spiral out of control. This is why any problems- or potential problems- need to be seen to by a professional as soon as possible.

There are many different reasons why drains get blocked, some of which are preventable and some of which are not.

Domestic drains often get blocked when large items- such as food and food wrappings get washed down the sink, in addition to unsuitable items being flushed down the toilet.

Blockages in commercial drains are often harder to prevent, and all manner of items- including branches and litter- can contribute to problems.

When a professional is called out to treat blocked drains, once they have cleared the blockage they often undertake a process called descaling.

Descaling involves the use of a special descaling machine- which gets rid of any rough edges which could cause problems. Scale is then blasted away with a water jet or removed manually.

London drainage companies have all the expertise and equipment available to descale drains and prevent any problems in the future.
