Frequently asked questions

Drainage services in Essex: your questions answered

How much does it cost to clear a blocked drain?

For a straightforward domestic blockage we work to a fixed call-out and clearance charge, which we confirm on the phone before attending. If the drain turns out to need more than clearing, we stop and quote before doing anything chargeable beyond that.

What is a CCTV drain survey and do I need one?

We push a camera through the run and record what is there. You need one if a drain blocks repeatedly, if it runs slow without ever fully blocking, or before you buy a property. For a genuine one-off blockage it is usually unnecessary.

Why does my drain keep blocking in the same place?

Because something structural is catching debris — most often tree roots through an open joint, a dropped section that has lost its fall, or a deformed pitch-fibre pipe. Clearing removes the symptom; a survey finds the cause so you can stop paying for the same job every year.

Am I responsible for the drain, or is the water company?

Since 2011, most shared runs serving more than one property transferred to the water company. Pipework within your own boundary serving only your house is normally yours. We will tell you which applies before you commit to paying for anything.

Can tree roots really break a drain?

They do not break a sound pipe, but they find any existing crack or open joint and grow into it, forming a mat that catches everything passing through. Cutting them out buys a season; sealing or lining the joint is what stops it returning.

Do you offer emergency drainage call outs?

Yes. Flooding drainage and sewage backing up into a property are treated as emergencies and prioritised accordingly. See our emergency call out page or call 07497 377 123.
