Drain Unblocking
What Is Drain Unblocking and When You Need It
Drain unblocking clears obstructions from your pipework using rodding, high-pressure jetting, or CCTV-guided tools, restoring normal flow without unnecessary digging.
Slow-draining water, gurgling sounds, bad smells, or water backing up at the lowest point in your property are all signs of a blockage that needs attention before it gets worse.
Most blockages are cleared in a single visit. For older pipework or recurring problems, we combine unblocking with a CCTV inspection to find the root cause — whether that’s tree root ingress, a collapsed section, or years of grease build-up.
Common Causes
Why Your Drain Has Blocked
Blockages build up gradually or happen all at once. The most common causes we deal with across Reading and Berkshire:
- Hair and soap build-up in bathroom drains
- Grease and food waste in kitchen drains
- Tree root ingress in older pipework
- Wet wipes, sanitary products and foreign objects
- Broken or displaced pipe joints
- Heavy rainfall overloading the drainage system
Our Process
HOW DRAIN UNBLOCKING WORKS
01
Assessment & Access
We identify the blockage location and the best access point, whether that’s an internal drain, manhole, or gully.
02
Clearing the Blockage
We use high-pressure jetting or rodding equipment matched to the blockage type and pipe size, to clear it fully rather than just push it further down the line.
03
CCTV Verification
Where needed, we run a camera through the cleared section to confirm the blockage is gone and check for any underlying damage.
04
Report & Advice
You get a clear explanation of the cause and practical advice to help stop it happening again.
