Drainage questions we are often asked
What are the signs of a blocked or damaged drain?
Slow-draining sinks, gurgling sounds, unpleasant smells, overflowing gullies and wet patches outside can all point to a drainage problem. If the issue keeps returning after a simple clean, a closer inspection can help find the underlying cause.
When is a CCTV drain inspection useful?
A CCTV inspection is useful for recurring blockages, suspected cracked or displaced pipes, planning renovations and checking existing drainage before major work. It lets the drainlayer see the condition and location of the problem before recommending the next step.
Can an existing drain be repaired, or does it need replacing?
That depends on the pipe material, the extent of the damage and the condition of the surrounding drainage. Some faults can be repaired in a targeted section, while badly damaged or poorly laid drains may need replacement. Our team explains the options after inspecting the site.
