Drain Repair: Everything You Need to Know

Plumbing companies offer a crucial service called drain repair. This involves fixing or restoring damaged drainage systems. Drain problems can become serious if they are not dealt with promptly. Flooding could cause severe damage to your property.

Drain Repair: What is it important?

When things go wrong in our plumbing systems, it can significantly impact the quality of your life. Clogs, which can cause standing water and breeding grounds for bacteria and other harmful insects, can lead to minor problems in the drains. Broken or failed pipes can lead to stagnant pools that allow mosquitoes to breed. We might cause more serious damage if we try to fix the problem ourselves.

What We Can Do To Help

At our plumbing company, we specialize in all forms of drain repairs such as CCTV inspection, pipe relining, unblocking blocked drains, and drain clearing across Greater London. Our team is made up of highly skilled professionals that are equipped with the latest technologies to quickly identify the root cause of any drainage problem and fix it.

Unblocking blocked drains

Blocked drains can be caused by different substances including grease buildup from kitchen sinks, toilet paper clogging from toilets or hair buildup from bathroom sinks or showers. Our experienced team has handled countless cases involving blocked drains over the years. We use state-of-the-art tools such as water jetting equipment and electronic locators to quickly locate and eliminate blockages in your pipes.

CCTV Drain Inspections

Our plumbing professionals use sophisticated technology such as closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections for diagnosing difficult-to-identify problems within drain systems including nasty surprises such as underground pipe collapse without excavation required.

Pipe Relining

In some cases replacing entire sections of piping may not be necessary — instead, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology allows us to restore broken sewer lines without having fully trenching them. This involves inserting epoxy liner in the damaged sections of pipe before it is shaped and hardened.

Most Frequently Asked Questions

Are there DIY techniques that can be used to fix damaged drains

DIY attempts are most often not a permanent fix, more importantly, homeowners lack specialized equipment or knowledge required to get the job done right. You could end up doing more damage than good.

How often should my drains be inspected?

We recommend at least once per year. This can change depending on weather patterns, drainage system age, and maintenance (or lack thereof).
