Engineers in our network handle every type of drain blockage across Birmingham, from a simple kitchen sink to a collapsed sewer pipe. No job is too small or too serious.

Our Drain Clearance Process

When you call with a blocked drain, your enquiry goes to the nearest available engineer, who heads over with specialist equipment in the van. On arrival, they assess the blockage and choose the most effective method.

For most blockages, high-pressure water jetting clears the pipe completely. This is more effective and longer-lasting than chemical treatments or basic rods, because the jet scours the entire pipe wall clean, not just punching through the blockage.

For persistent or recurring blockages, engineers run a CCTV drain survey to see exactly what is causing the problem. Common findings include tree root ingress, cracked pipes, displaced joints, or buildup of scale and debris. The camera footage gives them, and you, a clear picture of the issue so they can recommend the right permanent fix.

Many network engineers guarantee their repairs. Ask your engineer about their workmanship guarantee before work begins.

Signs Your Drain Is About to Block

Catching a blockage early saves you money and prevents emergency call-outs. Watch for these warning signs:

Slow drainage, Water taking longer than usual to drain from sinks, baths, or showers is the earliest sign of a developing blockage.

Gurgling sounds, Air trapped by a partial blockage creates gurgling noises when water passes through the pipe.

Bad smells, Unpleasant odours from drains indicate trapped waste material decomposing in the pipe.

Rising water levels, If flushing the toilet causes water to rise in the shower tray or bath, you have a blockage downstream and should call immediately.
