First, send us a quote request that describes the symptoms. This helps us bring the right kit, because blockages vary. Tell us about slow drains, gurgling, bad smells or standing water. Then we send a local engineer to your Hawarden property, arriving promptly, with urgent jobs prioritised.
Your engineer checks every access point, since the cause is often not where the water backs up. Where it helps, they also use a drain camera. As a result, we know the cause and the position of the blockage.
Next, we use jetting, rodding or cutting tools to clear the blockage. The method depends on the pipe, because older pipes need a gentle tool. After that, we flush the line clean.
