DRAIN SURVEYS - THE REPORT
Moving or purchasing a house? Having an extension built? Repeat blockages? Or, just needing some plain and simple ‘Peace of Mind’ advice? Sometimes used in conjunction with drain clearing, the drain camera is a must for any professional drainage company.
The underground drain survey can range from a simple basic inspection (reported while on-site verbally or via an e-mail) to a fully comprehensive one. Comprehensive drainage surveys will generally cover all accessible drainage on-site, would include a full written report, a plan of your drainage system and a copy of the underground survey footage. Of course, drain surveys can be as basic or as extensive as you require them to be, and when required, can be tailored to your particular needs in order to keep costs to a minimum.
ALL BLOCKED DRAINS - INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL
A complete drain clearing service, covering blocked toilets, blocked manholes, blocked grids, blocked gullies, blocked soil vent pipes, blocked drainage channels and more.

REPEAT BLOCKED DRAINS - IDENTIFY CAUSE
Blocked manhole, blocked toilet, blocked gully, or blocked drainage system becoming a regular thing? Hanging toilet rim block lodged in a pipe or at the back of a toilet? The flushing of toilet wipes? Displaced pipe joints restricting flow? Damaged underground drains? Whatever the reason, drains that block up on a regular basis should never be ignored or left unattended. Unless determined to be due to misuse, for example, the use and flushing of toilet wipes, a drain survey would always be recommended. Determining the cause of a repeat blocked drain paramount, as depending on the underlying cause, leaving the problem could only lead to increased costs for repairs.
PREVENTATIVE DRAIN MAINTENANCE - JETTING SERVICE
Blocked drains do not always require the use of a high-pressure water jetting machine. However, where maintenance is concerned, a jetting service will invariably be the main recommendation. Unmaintained, your drainage system will contain years of use, which results in a build-up of silt, scale, grease and waste. Left unattended, these obstructions will eventually restrict flow, resulting in a blocked drainage systems or a blocked gully. Although a reactive measure, when a blocked drain has occurred, drain maintenance should be be seen as a proactive procedure, implementing a drainage service and cleaning your system on a regular basis.

FOUL ODOURS - DRAIN INVESTIGATION
A foul smell or a drain odour can often the telltale sign that you have a blocked drain. But sometimes, and far more difficult to ascertain, the foul odour may be due to a fault within the drainage system, like a damaged pipe seal or an inadequate plumbing installation. Predominantly experienced within bathrooms or WC's, persistent foul drain odours or sewer smells can be offensive to the senses and a distinct health issue, and where the prudent course of action would be to carry out an investigation as soon as possible.
SONAR DRAIN LOCATION
Drainage access points can sometimes become buried or lost over time and therefore require location. You may be preparing to build and extend your home and so are are required to find and inspect your existing drainage system. Or you may need to locate a damaged or collapsed drain and get a depth reading in order to enable a quotation. Whatever the requirement, a sonde, either used in conjunction with drain rods or built into a drain camera, is entered into the drainage system and emits an electronic signal. This signal is then picked up using a separate handheld locating tool to either pinpoint an area of the drainage system, or even to map out the entire drainage system.
PRESSURE WASHING and SURFACE CLEANING
More powerful than any electric pressure washers out there, surface cleaning using the high-pressure water jetting machine is extremely effective. This can give patios, paths, and driveways a new lease of life and remove graffiti efficiently from walls.
