Drain Unblocking
Drain Unblocking in Long Eaton
Homes in Long Eaton
In Long Eaton's Victorian terraces and older brick buildings, we look at access and the state of the pipe before choosing between rodding and high-pressure jetting. Outside drains can block with leaves, silt or disturbance from roots, while inside, fat, grease and wipes are among the usual culprits. The photo shows the kit we work with, including a RIDGID CCTV camera and DeWalt power tools. The review shown with this page is from a customer who had us unblock drains and later refit a bathroom, and who praises our cheerful, careful approach.
“Great to have a reliable Plumber like Tami. 1st Job was just to unblock some drains, 2nd Job a bathroom re-fit. Will use Tami again. Conscientious and tidy, works with a smile.. A+”
What matters for drain unblocking in Long Eaton
For Drain Unblocking in Long Eaton, pipe condition matters so much in an older house that we would rather see inside the drain with a camera when the blockage is hidden or keeps returning. That way we pick a method the pipe can take, clear the blockage and check for a repeat before we leave.
- Assessing access and pipe condition before any clearing
- A CCTV drain survey where the cause is out of sight
- Rodding or jetting matched to the pipe
- Clearing outside drains of leaves and silt
Questions about drain unblocking in Long Eaton
Our house is old. Does that change how you clear a drain?
It can. The right method depends on access, pipe condition and whether the blockage keeps coming back, so in an older property we check the pipe before deciding how to clear it. If the evidence points to a repair or replacement rather than a clearance, we tell you before going further.
The drain outside is full of leaves and silt. Can you deal with it?
Yes, outside drains are part of what we clear. Leaves, silt and root disturbance are typical causes there. Where roots are involved, a camera survey lets us see the state of the pipe before deciding whether it needs clearing, repair or a closer look.
