24-Hour Emergency Blocked Drain Service
Drainage problems rarely happen at convenient times. That’s why RJ Drainage Services offers a 24-hour emergency response service for urgent drainage issues.
If your drain is overflowing, causing flooding or creating a health risk, we aim to attend as quickly as possible and provide an effective solution to minimise disruption and prevent further damage.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains
Drain blockages can occur for a number of reasons. Some of the most common causes we encounter include:
• Fat, oil and grease build-up
• Wet wipes and sanitary products
• Food waste
• Tree root intrusion
• Collapsed or damaged pipework
• Scale and debris accumulation
• Foreign objects trapped in the drainage system
• Poor drainage installation Our experienced team uses specialist equipment to accurately identify the cause of the blockage and recommend the most effective solution.
High-Pressure Drain Jetting
One of the most effective methods of clearing blocked drains is high-pressure water jetting.
Using powerful jetting equipment, we can remove stubborn blockages, grease deposits, scale build-up and debris from drainage systems without causing damage to the pipework.
High-pressure jetting not only clears the immediate blockage but can also help clean the pipe walls, reducing the likelihood of future problems.
This method is suitable for both domestic and commercial drainage systems and is highly effective for recurring drainage issues.
CCTV Drain Inspections
Where necessary, we can carry out CCTV drain inspections to investigate recurring blockages or identify hidden problems within the drainage system.
Using specialist camera equipment, we can inspect the condition of the drain and locate issues such as:
• Root ingress
• Cracked pipework
• Collapsed drains
• Misaligned joints
• Obstructions
• Structural defects
By identifying the exact cause of the issue, we can recommend the most appropriate repair or maintenance solution.
Blocked Toilets, Sinks & External Drains
We regularly help customers with:
Blocked Toilets
A blocked toilet can be both inconvenient and unhygienic. We can quickly clear toilet blockages and identify any underlying drainage issues.
Blocked Sinks
Kitchen and bathroom sinks often become blocked due to grease, soap residue, hair and debris. We can restore normal drainage and advise on preventing future blockages.
Blocked External Drains
External drains can become blocked by leaves, debris, mud, roots and other materials. We use professional equipment to clear the blockage and restore proper flow.
