Taking care of your drains

From time to time many people experience some kind of problem with their drains. In the UK most domestic drains are vitrified clay and 100 mm or 150 mm in diameter. Blockages can be caused by a range of factors; often they are the result of many years of poor maintenance. Attempting to dispose of items such as nappies and other items that drains are not designed for is likely to cause a blockage; grease and fat can build up over years and eventually block the drain; food leftovers and tea leaves can cause a blockage or exacerbate an existing problem.

Often these problems can be avoided by regular inspection, for instance just by lifting the manholes and checking that nothing is impeding the flow.  More extensive systems need more high tech investigations and maintenance. Whether you have a current problem or you wish to avoid one occurring in the future, contact our drainage team; we are there to help.
