Common Drainage System Problems

Tree Roots

Roots often find their way into systems through cracks and open joints within the pipework, restricting the flow and causing drains to block and overflow. Additionally, it causes massive damage to the pipework, such as large breaks and fractures.

Mud, Silt & Leaves

Outdoor drains can become blocked with mud, silt, or leaves, particularly after heavy rain or in autumn and winter, as they accumulate and obstruct water flow.

Rust & Limescale

Rust can build up in the pipes of your drainage system, while limescale accumulates in various types of plumbing. Both narrow the pipes, restricting water flow and can lead to blockages over time.

Grease & Fat Buildup

Grease and fat are a common issue, especially in households or restaurants, as they build up over time and narrow the drainage pipes, significantly reducing water flow and often leading to blockages.

Drain Cleaning Methods


 Drain cleaning can require different approaches depending on the nature of the blockage. However, methods our drain cleaning specialists use to tackle various drain issues effectively and safely include:

High-Pressure Water Jetting

This method involves using high-velocity water streams to clear blockages and effectively clean the pipes of your drainage system. High-pressure water jetting removes soft blockages like grease, fat, and soap buildup, and it's also environmentally friendly, using only water without any harsh chemicals.

Electro-Mechanical Milling Machines

For more challenging blockages, such as tree roots or hardened debris, electro-mechanical milling is an excellent choice. This method uses flexible cables with cutting attachments that rotate to slice through obstructions. It's especially effective in older pipes where high-pressure water jetting might be too harsh.

Chemical Cleaning

While we prefer mechanical methods due to their eco-friendliness, certain situations require chemical cleaners. These are used cautiously to dissolve specific types of blockages like hair or mineral buildup without damaging the pipes.

Hydro-Mechanical Cleaning

Hydro-mechanical cleaning removes scale, rust, and other hard residues lining the pipe walls. In this cleaning method, The mechanical action breaks up the deposits while the water flushes them away, thoroughly cleaning them.
