Drain Repair: Everything You Need to Know

Drain repair is a vital service offered by plumbing companies, and it involves restoring the functionality of broken or damaged drainage systems. If not addressed in time, drain issues can escalate to serious problems like flooding which would cause tremendous damage to your property.

The Importance of Drain Repair

When things go wrong in our plumbing systems, it can significantly impact the quality of your life. Clogs, which can cause standing water and breeding grounds for bacteria and other harmful insects, can lead to minor problems in the drains. Failed or damaged pipes can create stagnant pools where mosquitoes easily breed. We might cause more serious damage if we try to fix the problem ourselves.

What We Can Do To Help

At our plumbing company, we specialize in all forms of drain repairs such as CCTV inspection, pipe relining, unblocking blocked drains, and drain clearing across Greater London. Our team is made up of highly skilled professionals that are equipped with the latest technologies to quickly identify the root cause of any drainage problem and fix it.

Unblocking Blocked Drains

Blocked drains can be caused by different substances including grease buildup from kitchen sinks, toilet paper clogging from toilets or hair buildup from bathroom sinks or showers. Over the years, our experienced team has dealt with many cases of blocked drains. To quickly find and remove blockages in your pipes, we use the most up-to-date tools like water jetting equipment or electronic locators.

CCTV Drain Inspections

Our plumbing professionals use sophisticated technology such as closed-circuit television (CCTV) inspections for diagnosing difficult-to-identify problems within drain systems including nasty surprises such as underground pipe collapse without excavation required.

Pipe Relining

In some cases replacing entire sections of piping may not be necessary — instead, cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) technology allows us to restore broken sewer lines without having fully trenching them. This involves inserting epoxy liner in the damaged sections of pipe before it is shaped and hardened.

Most Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use DIY methods to repair damaged drains?

DIY attempts are most often not a permanent fix, more importantly, homeowners lack specialized equipment or knowledge required to get the job done right. You could end up doing more damage than good.

How often should my drains be inspected?

We recommend that you visit at least once a year. However, this can vary depending on such factors as the age of your drainage system, weather patterns, usage patterns and maintenance (or lack thereof).
