      Identifying the Cause

      Attempting to unblock a drain yourself can be extremely difficult if you cannot see the cause of the problem.

      In most cases, homeowners will be unsuccessful at attempting to unblock drains themselves.

      This is why professional drain experts use CCTV equipment to fully inspect drains to safely and thoroughly detect the exact location of the blockage causing the backlog.

      By doing so, we can assess the condition of your drains and discover any potential defects, collapsed pipework, root damage or extreme blockages.

      If your drainage issue is severe, purchased over the counter drain chemicals simply won't do the job.

      Call in the experts on 01622 919012 to get your drains cleared.

      Frequently Asked Questions

      1How do professionals unblock drains?
      Plumbers use various tools to clear blockages, including manual and motorized drain snakes, high-definition cameras, and hydro-jetting machines. These advanced tools quickly and effectively tackle even the toughest clogs.
      2What liquid do plumbers use to unclog drains?
      Plumbers often use hydrochloric acid (muriatic acid) for tough clogs. It breaks down organic material in drains, helping to clear blockages fast. However, it's highly corrosive and should be handled with care.
      3How much does it cost to unblock a drain?
      The cost typically ranges from £80 to £250, depending on the severity of the blockage and other factors. It's an essential part of home maintenance, but prices can vary.
      4Will a clogged drain eventually clear itself?
      A minor clog might clear up on its own, but it’s best to get your drains jetted or rodded to prevent recurring issues and fully clear any leftover obstructions.
      5Why should I avoid using baking soda and vinegar to unclog a drain?
      Baking soda can scratch your pipes, and vinegar's acidity may damage rubber or metal plumbing parts. It's best to leave the tough jobs to professionals.
      6Will bleach unclog my drain?
      Bleach won’t dissolve common drain blockages like hair or grease and can damage your pipes over time. It’s not an effective or safe solution for clearing clogs.
      7What should I avoid flushing down my drains to prevent blockages?
      Avoid flushing food scraps, wet wipes, sanitary items, grease, stickers, antifreeze, eggshells, and coffee grounds. Use strainers or a food waste disposal to prevent blockages, and run hot water weekly to clear grease buildup.
