Blocked Drain Clearing in Cheshire

Common causes of blocked drains

• Grease and fat buildup, particularly common in kitchen drainage where cooking fat solidifies inside the pipe over time
• Leaves, soil, and general debris collecting in outdoor gullies and gradually narrowing or fully blocking the flow
• Wipes, sanitary products, and other items flushed that shouldn't be, which are a leading cause of blockages in the wider drainage system
• Tree root intrusion, which can both narrow a pipe and catch debris that then builds up around it

How we clear blockages

We start with the method most likely to clear the specific type of blockage without unnecessary escalation. This often means high-pressure water jetting, which clears most blockages including grease buildup and general debris effectively. For more stubborn blockages, mechanical rodding can break through and clear material that jetting alone doesn't shift.

When we recommend a CCTV survey alongside clearing

If a drain has blocked repeatedly, or the blockage was unusually difficult to clear, it's often worth understanding why rather than just clearing it again and waiting for the next occurrence. A CCTV survey after clearing can reveal whether there's a structural issue, like a partial collapse or significant root intrusion, that's actually driving the recurring blockages.

Same-day response

Blocked drains, particularly internal ones that are backing up, count as a priority job. We offer same-day appointments where available, 7 days a week, since a backed-up drain affecting normal use of the property isn't something that should wait.
