Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our drainage services
Check that all traps under your sinks, baths and showers have water in them. Sometimes, a dried out trap will let odours in. If the smell persists, call for a professional inspection.
We target a 1-hour response for emergencies and use high-pressure water jetting to clear most outdoor blockages fast. Some stubborn jobs might take longer if roots or damage are involved.
If you notice repeated blockages, water backing up, or sunken ground above the pipe, it could mean the drain is broken or collapsed. A CCTV survey will confirm the cause.
Drain lining repairs most cracked or leaky pipes from inside, so there’s less digging and disruption. If the damage is severe or the pipe’s collapsed, excavation may be needed instead.
Generally, landlords handle repairs to the main drains and pipes. You might be responsible for simple blockages caused by everyday use. Check your tenancy agreement to be sure.
Jetting involves clearing the blockage, flushing the line, and checking water flow is restored. If there are underlying issues, we’ll advise on next steps or recommend a CCTV survey.
