When you have a blocked drain, the damage caused to the inside of your home can be dreadful. But if you live in London, you don’t need to worry because a drainage expert can be with you in a matter of minutes.

Blocked drains can be caused by a number of things, organic waste matter and fat and grease that are poured down the drain are two such examples. If you have a blocked drain, when the drainage company arrives they will either use rotating coring plant to mechanically remove the blockage or they will use high pressure water jetting. Once the drain is clear the waste can flow freely again.

When the blockage is removed, the drainage company may want to investigate the cause of the blockage further. If the pipes are scaled badly or if there has been root intrusion into the pipe, there is a good chance that the drain will become blocked quickly again. Using a CCTV survey, the drainage company can quickly see if there is an underlying problem and suggest remedial action so the problem does not happen again.
