Expert Techniques for Unblocking Drains

High-Pressure Water Jetting

High-pressure water jetting and electro-mechanical cleaning are key techniques in effective drain unblocking services. Boiling water can also be used to clear a clogged drain by melting fats and grease, and loosening debris to restore flow. High-pressure water jetting uses a flexible, high-pressure hose to dislodge even the most stubborn blockages, ensuring thorough cleaning and preventing future issues. Electro-mechanical cleaning involves a ‘snake’ or thin steel wire that twists and turns through the pipework, breaking down and removing blockages. These methods are effective and environmentally safe, ensuring your pipes remain clear without harming the ecosystem.

For persistent drainage problems, detailed CCTV drain surveys are essential. Our high-tech CCTV cameras provide a thorough examination of your drainage system, identifying issues such as structural problems or root intrusions. These surveys offer clear images and reports, allowing for accurate diagnosis and effective solutions. Our CCTV drain surveys are also invaluable for pre-purchase inspections and build-over surveys, offered at competitive rates to ensure you understand your drainage system’s condition without unexpected costs.
Our advanced camera technology provides real-time images, allowing our professionals to see inside the drains and identify problems accurately. This ensures precise diagnoses and the implementation of the right solutions, steering the repair process in the right direction.
Our CCTV drain surveys come with a fixed price assurance, meaning you are charged a predetermined rate with no hidden fees. This transparency provides financial security and predictability, making it easier for you to budget for necessary services.

London Drainage Systems

Understanding Your London Drainage System
Understanding your drainage system is key to effectively tackling drainage problems. Our professional services translate technical jargon into easily understandable solutions, ensuring that severe issues like drain blockages, leaking sewage, gurgling noises, and bad smells are quickly identified and effectively resolved.
Determining responsibility for drainage issues involves understanding property boundaries. Typically, household waste drains are the property owner’s responsibility up to the point where they connect to public sewers. Shared supply pipes have joint responsibility among property owners.
Common drainage problems in London homes include old and narrow pipework, broken macerators, and blockages caused by external debris. Recognising these issues helps take timely action to prevent severe problems.

Camilla Smith
Great customer service From the initial telephone conversation with Rachel, I felt in safe hands with 0800 Homefix. Rachel arranged for an engineer to inspect the problems I was having with my faulty boiler, Rachel arranged for an engineer to come out that day which was brilliant. The customer service was brilliant from the start to finish, I highly recommend 0800 Homefix. Thank you again.
Customer in Wokingham
Following on from a new central heating system installed by 0800 Homefix there was a lot of dust throughout the property, it was a huge job in fairness we never had central heating before as it was warm air units so the engineers were working in every room running pipes and hanging radiators. 0800 Homefix kindly facilitated a professional deep clean following on from the works at no extra cost. Very thoughtful and professional. The house is now spotless. Would highly recommend.
Customer in Farnham
Leak fixed I called out we fix to investigate a leak that was present in my kitchen. I was reluctant to do so due to the ongoing matters with COVID-19. However, the engineer that turned up to fix the leak was equipped with a face mask, gloves and shoe covers. He also made sure to keep 2 metres distance away from me and my wife at all times. He fixed the leak and kept everything tidy and clean throughout. Would not think twice about recommending!

Your Block Drain Questions Answered

Why is my sink draining slowly?
Food and other organic matter are the biggest culprits of slow draining sinks, especially in the kitchen. As for basins in the bathroom and toilet, it could likely be trapped hair. These issues can often be resolved easily enough without professional help. However, if you can’t seem to resolve the issue by yourself, unblocking drains is our speciality.
What does fixing a blocked drain involve?
Again, this largely depends on the issue at hand. Drain clearance can be as simple as plunging clogged hair from the sink. It can also require CCTV drain surveys to locate the source of the blockage, using various chemicals to break-down organic food and grease build ups, using drain rods to break up and dislodge blockages, and more.
What is the most common cause of a blocked drain?

It depends on the location. For example:

  • Bathroom drains and basins are most commonly affected by clogged hair. In order for them to drain properly, the hair needs to be routinely removed and cleared away.
  • For the kitchen, drains and basins are most commonly affected by waste food, fat and grease, and other organic matter building up in the pipes. Proper waste disposal and regular drain clearing is required to alleviate these drainage issues.
  • For outdoor drains, the most common cause is root invasion from neighbouring trees. If you have a few large trees in your garden, it could be that their roots are spreading wide and interfering with your drainage systems.
How long does it take to unblock a drain?

The amount of time required to clear your blocked drains largely depends on where the drain is and what is blocking it. Professional drainage shouldn’t take much longer than an hour.

Some drainage solutions can be administered in as little as 15-minutes, with others (root invasion causing broken pipes in outdoor drainage systems) taking much longer.

In any case, we always offer a great service and aim to work as quickly as possible. Your best bet is to contact us immediately and one of our friendly representatives can offer you an ETA.

What can cause low water pressure?
Besides leaky pipes, low water pressure is typically caused by valve issues, build up of debris, or other blockages. It’s always worth double checking with your neighbours to see if they are having water pressure issues as well. If they aren’t, then you must contact your local plumber to resolve your drainage issues.
Why is my drain constantly clogging up?

You need to take extra care when disposing of food in the kitchen. For example, if you are cooking food with oil and then pouring the oil directly into your sink when washing the dishes, then you are causing a huge build up of grease and fat in your pipes. In time, this builds up to the point where nothing can pass through any longer.

The best approach is to allow any grease and oil to cool in the pan. Once it has congealed it can be disposed of appropriately in your bin.
Can blocked drains make you unwell?
They can indeed. Blocked drains are a breeding ground for bacteria and other parasites that can easily make you and your family sick. Drain unblocking services is the easiest way to prevent this risk so do not hesitate to contact us today.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain?
The cost to unblock a drain starts from £120 if no additional parts or extra time are needed. This base price covers the initial work to clear the blockage efficiently. If further repairs or parts are necessary, a detailed quote will be provided before any work is carried out.
