Our Oldham Drainage Services

Clark Drainage gets it done. Homes, businesses, across Oldham. Blocked toilet at midnight? We’re on it. Full drain excavation? No problem. We’re ready, day or night.

We take a firm stance against trial-and-error and short-term fixes. Our experienced engineers use modern diagnostic tools and proven methods to get to the bottom of the issue and fix it long-term. Below is an outline of the core services we deliver throughout Oldham.

High-Pressure Water Jetting

When it comes to clearing drains, we nearly always go for water jetting—it just works. It’s quick, strong, and sorts out most of the regular issues. With jetting gear, we blast through the pipe and break up grease, scraps, hair, and the usual grime. It’s even strong enough to take on tree roots, much stronger than using rods for the tough stuff.

Drain Cleaning Oldham

Water jetting’s the way. Fast, tough, and doesn’t miss. We use water force to cut into grease, hair, food, and roots. Nothing else cuts through it like this. Rods? Fine for easy stuff. Jetting? Built for the heavy stuff.

CCTV Drain Surveys in Oldham

When a blockage proves persistent or difficult to diagnose, a CCTV drain survey provides a clear picture of your drainage system. Rather than relying on disruptive methods or assumptions, we deploy high-definition cameras that travel the drain network, delivering real-time video to our engineers. This process allows us to identify issues such as cracks, structural failure, tree intrusion, or excess residue. With this visual insight, we can pinpoint the exact cause and location of the problem and recommend the most effective solution.

Signs You Have a Blocked Drain

Not all drainage issues shout for attention. Many start with quiet symptoms that can lead to more costly repairs if ignored. Here are some of the most common warning signs to keep an eye on, whether you’re at home or running a business.

Water Draining Slowly

When water takes longer to drain in your sink, bath, or shower, it’s often one of the early symptoms of a blockage starting to build. In kitchens, the most common culprits are grease and scraps. In bathrooms, it’s often hair, soap, and mineral build-up. If water isn’t flowing out smoothly, it’s a good time to have it checked before the issue causes problems.

Unpleasant Smells

If you’re catching a nasty smell coming from your sink, it usually means there’s something trapped where it shouldn’t be. Old food, grease, or something grim can get caught and start to rot. It’s best not to ignore it—a bad smell is often a sign that a clog is already on the way.

Gurgling Sounds From Pipes

Unusual sounds coming from your drains—particularly low bubbling sounds—are often a sign that there’s air in the line. This typically occurs when water is disrupted by an obstruction, causing vacuum pressure. If your pipes begin making noises that sound like a boiling appliance, it’s recommended to have them looked at promptly.

Water Backing Up

Water flooding back instead of draining? That’s one of the big red flags. A blocked drain is likely the cause. And trust me, if you’ve spotted it, it won’t fix itself. Get on top of it early, and we’ll make sure it’s sorted in no time.

Toilet Flushing Poorly

If your toilet isn’t running smoothly or takes a long time to refill, it could mean there’s a blockage somewhere in the soil pipe. These blockages are often caused by non-flushables—like wipes, hygiene items, or large amounts of toilet roll. It’s best to call in help before it gets worse.

Overflowing Outdoor Drains

If you observe water spilling from external drains during or after heavy rain, the issue may be more serious than simple surface runoff. A partial or complete underground blockage could be preventing proper drainage, causing water to overflow. Left unaddressed, this overflow can lead to erosion, cracking, or structural issues. Prompt attention is recommended to prevent further complications.

Multiple Fixtures Affected at Once

Multiple drains slowing down? That’s not a minor fault. If toilets, sinks, and your washer are all blocked, the blockage is probably deep in the main line. Plunging won’t fix it. You need a proper look and powerful flushing to sort it for good.

Damp Patches or Mould

Sometimes it starts with a hint of something off. A faint odour near the cupboard. A damp streak gathering near the floor. Maybe even mould in a place you’d never expect it. These quiet warnings often mean something hidden—a drainage fault, tucked away behind the plaster, slowly making its presence known.

    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.

    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.
