Common Drain Blockage Problems We Solve

Your drains are in heavy use almost every day, so blockages could cause serious disruption. Whether it’s creating unpleasant smells or doing long-term damage to the structural integrity of your property and the area around it, our specialist team can help. Fully equipped to identify and clear a range of external drainage issues efficiently, we can help with the following:

Buildup of natural debris. If leaves, soil and general garden debris have found their way into your drains, it could cause a blockage during heavy rainfall. Our team will clear any buildup or obstruction to allow for proper water flow at all times.
Buildup of oil and fat. When cooking oil and grease make their way into your drainage system, they can solidify and cling to your pipes. This requires professional unblocking and removal, sometimes needing high-pressure water to cut through.
Damaged pipes. Over time, your underground pipes could be damaged without you knowing. A collapsed portion of your pipe will need to be repaired in order to remove this blockage. See our drain repairs page for more details.
Buildup of silt and sludge. Even the best drains can accumulate silt and sediment over time, especially for older systems and in portions of the drain with poor flow. We use our specialist equipment to clear these buildups so that water can run through smoothly again.
Tree root intrusion. If tree roots find their way into your pipe, not only does it damage the structure, but it creates areas for solids and debris to cling and amass. We can remove root growth and clear your system once more.

While no two issues are exactly the same, we find that these are the common problems that arise in one form or another. Our expertise in dealing with both modern and period properties means we can apply the best approach for getting rid of your blockage.

Our Drain Unblocking Process

If you’re facing a blocked drain on your property, put your trust in our specialist skills. Our drain unblocking service begins with a diagnostic approach to uncover the root cause. Take a closer look at our professional process:

Where the cause of the blockage is unknown, we may recommend a CCTV drain survey. This allows us to pinpoint the blockage location and its composition.
High-pressure water jetting can be used to clear general waste and debris from the system.
For stubborn blockages, manual rodding may be used. Our engineers apply this specialist equipment to essentially move the material that has become stuck.
Mechanical rodding goes one step further, breaking down a blockage so that it can be flushed out of the system altogether.

Our effective drain clearance methods are highly successful, so if you want to put your drains back into action, don’t hesitate. Whether you know the cause of the blockage or not, we’ll take a professional approach to eliminate the issue.

Thank you Express Drainage Solution for helping us retrieve the car keys. My wife dropped them by mistake in a drain. Their tech was able to retrieve them in 15-20 mins. Their manager Scarlett was super helpful in setting up the appointment and providing necessary assurance. They saved us from 2-3 weeks of downtime and hassle/money required by Lexus to order and program keys.
