Drain Away IconCommon Questions

Answers before you ask

We know drainage problems can be stressful. Here are some of the questions we get asked most often.

What signs should I look out for before a drain becomes fully blocked?
Plus Icon

Slow draining sinks, gurgling noises, or bad smells are often the first warnings. If you spot these, it’s better to call us early before it turns into a complete blockage.

Do I need a CCTV survey, or is unblocking enough?
Plus Icon

Unblocking clears the immediate problem, but if blockages keep happening a CCTV survey shows what’s really going on. This helps prevent repeat call-outs and saves money in the long run.

Are drain repairs messy and disruptive?
Plus Icon

Not at all. With services like drain lining and patching, most repairs are done without digging up your garden or driveway. We keep disruption to a minimum.

Can you deal with old drainage systems like pitch fibre pipes?
Plus Icon

Yes, and we can either re-round the pipes to their original shape or cut out the blisters and line them, rather than replacing the whole system. This is often much more cost-effective.

Do you offer preventative maintenance, or do I have to wait until something goes wrong?
Plus Icon

We don’t just respond to emergencies. Regular checks and cleaning can keep your drains in good condition and stop bigger problems from developing.

What if the problem is outside my boundary – who is responsible?
Plus Icon

If the issue is within your property, it’s usually your responsibility. If it’s on a shared or public line, we can help you identify this and guide you on the next steps.

Can you help with leaks inside cesspits or tanks?
Plus Icon

Yes, we specialise in cesspit sealing and polyurethane leak injection to stop leaks quickly and securely.
