Services
Blocked Drains
We specialise in resolving blocked drains using rodding and high-pressure water jetting techniques. Our engineers identify blockage locations through CCTV surveys before applying appropriate clearance methods. Both residential and commercial clients benefit from our rapid response service, which minimises disruption while restoring proper drainage function. Regular maintenance prevents recurring issues.
Drain Repairs
Our drain repair services address structural damage through patching, lining, and excavation techniques. Using CCTV diagnostics, we assess pipe conditions and recommend solutions ranging from localised repairs to full relining. This approach preserves existing infrastructure while extending system lifespan. Emergency repairs prevent property damage from leaks and collapses.
CCTV Surveys
Advanced CCTV technology enables precise internal drainage system assessments. Our surveys identify blockages, cracks, root intrusions, and structural weaknesses without excavation. Clients receive detailed reports with DVD recordings of findings, supporting informed maintenance decisions. This non-invasive method reduces costs and disruption during diagnostics.
Drain Maintenance
Scheduled maintenance programs prevent emergency drain issues through regular inspections and cleaning. Services include CCTV monitoring, jetting, and gully emptying to maintain optimal system performance. Commercial clients particularly benefit from reduced operational risks and compliance with hygiene regulations. Preventative care extends infrastructure longevity while controlling repair costs.
Rodent Control
Our rodent control service secures drainage systems against pest intrusion. Using CCTV surveys, we identify entry points and apply sealing solutions to vulnerable pipes. External drain covers prevent rat access while maintaining system functionality. This service protects properties from health hazards and structural damage caused by rodent activity within drainage networks.
