High-Pressure Water Jetting

Water jetting is our preferred technique for resolving most drain blockages due to its speed, thoroughness, and versatility. Using high-pressure hoses, we direct a powerful stream of water through the affected drain, dislodging common materials like grease, food particles, and hair.

This method is also capable of breaking through more difficult clogs such as tree roots and solidified material, making it ideal for situations where traditional drain rods are unsuccessful.

Water jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear drain blockages. We use high-pressure hoses 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 tougher obstructions like root systems and compacted debris: jobs that traditional rods often can’t clear.

CCTV Drain Surveys in Plumstead

If a blockage is uncooperative or persists, a CCTV survey is the best way to understand the problem inside your drains. We thread a small, high-definition camera into the system, allowing us to inspect the interior without removing anything. This footage helps us identify breaks, root intrusion, clogs, or pipe collapse, so we can locate the problem precisely and fix it right the first time.

Signs You Have a Blocked Drain

While some drainage issues are immediately obvious, being able to recognise early warning signs can help you intervene before it escalates. Below is a list of common indicators to watch for if you suspect a drainage problem in your house or workplace.

Water Draining Slowly

Water draining sluggishly in sinks, bathtubs, or showers is often the initial clue of a problem starting within your plumbing system. In kitchens, the cause is frequently buildup from grease and scraps, while in bathrooms, it’s typically mineral and organic deposits. If water is lingering, it’s a strong hint the system should be checked.

Unblocked Sink

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 build up down there and start to rot. It’s best not to hope it goes away, a bad smell is often a sign that a blockage is already getting started.

Gurgling Sounds From Pipes

Drains gurgling? That’s a warning. Usually means water’s fighting a blockage. If it sounds like a blocked sink, get it checked.

what causes blocked drains

Water Backing Up

A pretty obvious clue your drain’s blocked is when water starts coming back up. If you see that, it’s a good idea to call someone in before long before it causes trouble.

Toilet Flushing Poorly

If your toilet isn’t flushing right or takes ages to fill back up, there might be a blockage further down. It’s often down to bits that block the pipe, like wet wipes, feminine products, or just a wad of tissue.

Overflowing Outdoor Drains

If you see water emerging from external drains during or after heavy rain, the issue may go deeper than simple surface runoff. A significant underground blockage could be preventing proper drainage, causing water to accumulate. Left unaddressed, this overflow can affect your landscape and foundation. Prompt professional assessment is advised to minimise damage.

Multiple Fixtures Affected at Once

If more than one thing’s draining slowly, like your toilet, sink, and bath all backing up together, it’s probably not just a minor blockage. When it’s in the main drain, even your washing machine can feel it. A quick go with a plunger won’t help much here. You’ll likely need someone to take a proper look with a camera and use jetting gear to sort it properly.

Damp Patches or Mould

Sometimes it starts with a hint of something off. A damp whiff near the cupboard. A damp streak curling across the base of a wall. Maybe even a fuzzy patch by the skirting. These early hints often mean something deeper, a drainage fault, out of sight, slowly coming to light.

    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.
