How we do it

  1. 1

    We locate the blockage

    We check the chambers and trace the drainage system to pinpoint where the issue is.

  2. 2

    We clear the blockage

    We use high-pressure water to break through and clear the blockage, restoring full flow.

  3. 3

    We test and confirm

    Once the blockage is cleared, we run water through the drain and carry out a dye test to confirm everything is flowing freely before we leave.

Questions we get asked

How do you know where the blockage is?
We check the chambers and trace the drainage system to locate where the problem is before we start clearing it.
What causes outside drains to block?
Common causes include leaves, silt, grease, roots and other debris. If we suspect damage or a more serious issue, we can inspect the drain with CCTV.
