Our Gilmerton Drainage Services

At Clark Drainage, we cover all sorts of drainage jobs for homes and businesses around Gilmerton. Whether it’s a toilet that gets blocked in the middle of the night or something bigger such as a full drain excavation, we’re ready to help day or night.

We’re not into quick fixes or taking wild guesses. Our engineers have the experience and come with the equipment they need to find the real problem. Once we spot it, we fix it right. Here’s a quick look at the core services we handle here in Gilmerton.

High-Pressure Water Jetting

Water jetting is one of the most efficient ways to clear drain blockages. We use specialist tools to force water through the clogged area, breaking up everything from food waste and grease to hair and built-up grime. It’s also effective against hard-to-remove blockages like root systems and compacted debris—jobs that standard tools often can’t reach.

Water Jetting Gilmerton

Water jetting’s the way. Quick, solid, and gets through it all. We use high-pressure hoses to blast apart grease, hair, food, and solid stuff. Nothing else does the job like this. Rods? Fine for easy stuff. Jetting? Built for the real ones.

Signs You Have a Blocked Drain

Sometimes drain problems are easy to spot. Other times, you’ve got to catch the little signs early to avoid a whole load of hassle. Here are some of the main things to spot early if you think something’s not right with your drains at your place.

Water Draining Slowly

Water not going down right? If your sink, bath, or shower’s feeling slow, that’s usually the first red flag. In the kitchen, it’s leftovers building up. In the bathroom? Bath muck are the common cause. If water’s not moving, it’s time to act.

Unpleasant Smells

Bad smell from a drain? That’s a warning sign. Food, gunk, or worse is probably stuck. Smell it near the outdoor drain? Don’t wait. A clog is forming.

Gurgling Sounds From Pipes

Odd sounds in your plumbing—especially noises that rise and fall—are often caused by air pockets, which builds up when water struggles to move by a blockage. If your pipes are bubbling like a blocked sink, it’s a good idea to get it inspected.

Water Backing Up

A really clear sign your drain’s blocked is when water rises back. If you spot that happening, it’s a good idea to sort it quickly before it gets worse.

Toilet Flushing Poorly

Toilet not clearing or filling slow? Might be a blockage in the line. Wet wipes, tampons, or too much paper usually to blame. Time to clear it out.

Overflowing Outdoor Drains

Seen water pouring out of your outdoor drains when it rains? That might be a sign of something worse—it could mean there’s a clog you can’t see that’s backing everything up. If left too long, all that overflow can start damaging your garden. Time to call a pro before it turns into a bigger problem.

Multiple Fixtures Affected at Once

When multiple outlets in your property are slow to drain simultaneously, it’s often indicative of a system-level problem within the primary drainage channel. Such obstructions can impact the function of several fixtures at once. In these situations, basic solutions like plunging are unlikely to be enough. A proper assessment using camera equipment, followed by high-pressure water jetting, is typically required to locate and clear the obstruction.

Damp Patches or Mould

Leaks you can’t see can show up when you least expect. One day everything’s fine, then boom—soggy skirting, stuff growing where it shouldn’t, or a musty odour near the skirting board. If it doesn’t seem right, it probably is. And we are ready to fix it.

    Garden sorted, no more flooding.

    Cheers to Clark Drainage for getting our garden sorted after that downpour. Great job. We’d tried a few things ourselves with no luck, but they came in, identified the issue quickly, and had the drainage working perfectly again.

    Quick turnaround and sorted fast.

    The lads came out next day and fixed the issue in half an hour. It had been bothering us for weeks, so to see it sorted that quickly was honestly a huge relief.

    Did it right first time.

    We’d had other companies round who couldn’t fix it. Clark Drainage had it sorted in one visit. The difference in professionalism and competence was night and day. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

    Proper pride in their work.

    It’s not glamorous work but they do it with a smile and real pride. Can’t say I’ve ever seen someone so happy clearing a drain, but they made the whole thing stress-free and even a bit fun.
