Frequently Asked Questions on Drains, Maintenance and Surveys

Find answers to common questions about our drainage services.

We clear blockages in toilets, sinks, baths and showers, as well as outside drains and sewers. We assess the problem and use suitable equipment to remove the obstruction and get wastewater flowing properly again.

Our emergency drain unblocking and repair services cover Ipswich and surrounding areas of Suffolk. If your drains are overflowing or sewage is backing up, contact us for assistance. We will attend as quickly as possible, and we do not charge a call-out fee.

A CCTV drain survey allows us to investigate recurring drainage problems. Using specialist cameras, we inspect inside your drains for obstructions, cracks, damaged joints and tree roots. We explain our findings and recommend suitable cleaning or repairs to address the cause.

Before you commit to a purchase, we can carry out a pre-purchase drain survey to assess the property’s drainage system. Our inspection can reveal hidden blockages or damage, and we provide a report outlining our findings and any recommended work.

For tougher blockages, we offer high-pressure drain jetting. This uses powerful jets of water to break down and flush away accumulated waste and debris. We assess your drainage system first to decide which clearance method is appropriate.

Our drain repair service covers fractured pipes, faulty joints and collapsed sections. We assess the extent of the damage and recommend an appropriate solution, which may involve repairing, relining or replacing the affected pipework.

That depends on the condition of your drains and the type of damage. Where suitable, we offer drain relining to repair damaged pipework with less disruption. If excavation or replacement is needed, we will explain why and discuss the work involved.

Tree roots can cause both blockages and damage, and we can tackle both problems. We use CCTV surveys to investigate root intrusion, remove the roots with suitable equipment and carry out repairs where needed to address damaged sections of pipework.

With our routine drain cleaning and maintenance contracts, we help homeowners and businesses keep their drainage systems working properly. Planned maintenance helps remove build-up, maintain water flow and identify developing problems. We can discuss your needs and arrange an agreed programme of maintenance.

Businesses, shops, offices and schools can all benefit from our commercial drainage services. We provide drain clearance, CCTV inspections, repairs and ongoing maintenance. We understand the disruption drainage problems can cause and aim to complete work efficiently with minimal interruption.
