Early detection of a blocked drain can drastically reduce damage caused by a overflowing drain or toilet. Signs to look and listen for include a gurgling or gulping sound (often accompanied by a smelly drain grate) coming from the floor waste or toilet when water is in use.
Another sign of a blocked drain is the water level in the toilet rising above or falling below normal levels, and/or the drain outside the house overflowing, especially after the washing machine has been in use.
The floor waste drain overflowing during a shower may also indicate a blockage. If you do suspect that you have a blocked or partially blocked drain please give us a call to clear the drain as soon as possible.

Repairs to drain pipes are very common; the original drain pipes were constructed from clay materials and are susceptible to damage. Some pipes are constructed from a material called Pitch Fibre, this tends to loose its cross sectional strength.
Any conventional excavation will cause some disruption by the very nature of the work involved. If this is the most suitable repair for your needs then the experience of our workforce will ensure that your site is kept safe, tidy and the work conducted with the minimum of inconvenience to yourselves.
A lining system normally removes the inconvenience caused by open excavations. If lining is suitable as the preferred method then we can undertake the works normally in a single day. If suitable, pitch fibre pipes can be lined after a process of re-rounding.
