First, send us an online request for Malpas. Keep it short, because we only need a few details. Tell us which fixtures are affected, such as sinks, toilets, baths or outside drains. Then we send the nearest available engineer.
On arrival, we find which section of drain is affected. This matters, since a blockage near the fixture needs a different fix from a deep one. We then work out whether the blockage is close or further down the line.
Next, we choose the best tool for the job. For example, a basin trap needs rods, while a long run may need jetting. We might use drain rods, an electric cable machine or a jetting unit.
We clear the blockage and flush the line with water. As a result, every connected fixture should drain freely. We check each one before we finish.
Finally, we explain what caused the issue. Some causes, like wipes, are easy to avoid once you know. We also share simple tips to keep your Malpas drains clear.
