Blocked drains can cause serious problems if they are not cleared quickly. That is why most drain maintenance companies offer a 24/7 call out helpline if you find your drainage system is blocked.

Blocked drains don’t just occur through the day, they also happen at night and at the weekend. This is the time when most companies shut down and so you can have difficulty contacting them. If you have a drainage emergency however you can call assistance quickly, at any time of the day, so the issue doesn’t turn into a disaster.

When the drainage company comes to investigate your drainage issue they will assess the situation to see if remedial action can be taken straight away so their time and your time is not wasted on future call-outs.

The drain might just need jetting. This is a quick and easy process where high pressure water is jetted into the pipe to dislodge the blockage. If the pipe blocks frequently or if the drainage company suspects that the blockage is caused by another problem, they may also carry out a CCTV survey of the drain. By doing this they can fully understand whet is causing the problem and suggest an appropriate remedy.
