Malpas is a market town with farms and villages around it. Some homes use the public sewer, while others have private drainage. When a drain blocks, we first find out which kind you have. Then we clear it.
Before you book, it helps to know what to expect. For example, our guides on the warning signs of a blocked drain and why drains back up after heavy rain explain the basics. You can also read about drainage across Malpas, or learn more about our blocked drains service.
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 Malpas 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.
We run water through every fixture that the blockage affected. While it runs, we watch for leaks or slow spots. This shows that full flow is back.
Finally, you get a short summary of what caused the blockage. We also give you simple steps to stop it coming back. We tailor these to your Malpas property.
First, we check the nearest chamber. Then we rod or jet the blocked section. After that, we flush the line and check the flow.
Local tip: Unsure whether your home is on mains or private drainage? Ask us. We can trace the pipes. Because farms and cottages differ, we trace the pipe route before we dig.
Our engineers cover Chester and the surrounding area, and they reach Malpas promptly, with urgent jobs prioritised. For urgent blockages that cause flooding or sewage backup, we dispatch first. Because every job differs, we confirm timing when you book.
The cost depends on whether the blockage is simple or needs jetting or a dig. Request a quote online and we confirm a price before we start any work. That is why we price each job once we know the cause.
