When a homeowner’s drain becomes blocked, the ensuing damage and mess can cause a significant amount of worry. However if you have the phone number of a reliable drainage company in London, you’ll be safe in the knowledge that they will be able to solve the problem for you.

When a drain or sewer in London becomes blocked, the drainage experts will usually try to clear the blockage using high pressure water jetting. In this process a jet of water is aimed down the drain and is usually enough to shift any debris which may be blocking the drainage pipe. The whole jetting process doesn’t take very long and the drain will usually be restored to its previous working condition within a matter of hours.

If the blockage is recurrent however, further investigation may be needed. Sometimes a drain may become blocked more than once over a short period of time. If this happens it will usually require further investigation. This may involve the use of CCTV equipment which enables the drainage experts to view the insides of the drain to look for problems. Most recurrent problems in London are due to the build up of scale or the intrusion of roots into the drainage pipe.
