Drain Cleaning Rods

Hiring Drain Cleaning Rods is easy and simple to try and clear blockages in your drainage system, however, if not used properly the blockage can be pushed deeper into the drain or block a main drain junction in the Pipe system. If the Drain rods are forced too hard it can cause pipe breakages, temporarily draining the blockage of water into the ground but a much bigger problem will occur later on.

Drain Cleaning Tools

Specialist drain cleaning tools used by ourselves and other professional drain cleaning companies involve use of CCTV cameras, crawler cameras, inspection equipment that can allow no digging and analysis of the drainage problem deep into the pipe system or allow photographic or cctv video evidence on how to resolve the damage or drain repairs.

Drainage Equipment

Drainage systems need to be maintained or cleaned at some point in their lifetime to prevent waste build-up and possible future damages from ground movement. Our advice would be to leave it to the drain specialists but certainly give any minor blockage a clean to try and clear the blockage but be prepared for needing to call a drain company that can save you time, cost and future problems. Most drainage equipment used will solve the smallest or biggest drainage problems such as:

• Drainage Repairs
• Drain Maintenance
• Drain Relining
• Blocked Drains
• Slow Draining Waters
• Root Blockage
• Collapsed Drains
• Drain Inspections
• CCTV Reports

Drain Cleaning Chemicals

Many home owners and businesses tend to use chemicals poured down sinks, plugs and toilet cisterns to prevent build-up of waste and human waste such as hair, debris, waste paper, nappies, wet wipes and kitchen household waste. This is generally a good idea but will not clear a problem that has already built-up over a period of time. The blockage may have occurred months or even years prior to rearing the issue with slow draining water, bad odour or worse still a complete drain blockage preventing water to drain away or water rapidly rising within a toilet flush cistern. These are generally symptoms of drainage problems and blockages.

How do your prevent flooding?

Protecting your own property with annual maintenance and clearing out of perimeter guttering along with annual inspections of drains, drainage and any waste pipes located directly on your land or within your gardens are major steps in flood prevention. Most drains have inspection chambers but it’s always recommended to book a Professional Drain Cleaning Company such as Lords of the Drains.

How do you prevent water damaging your own property?

Keeping guttering and drain pipes clean and clear on a regular basis prevents waste build-up from roof debris, storm waste and general debris falling onto your roof or premises on an annual basis.

How do you clean and clear Drains and Guttering?

Cleaning Guttering could save you thousands of pounds of water damage as once water penetrates brickwork, blockwork and plaster it’s a case of damage limitation trying to repair the water damage or worse still having to replace everything. Insurance claims from flooding and water damage is on the increase due to the current climate and recent weather so by preventing damage with annual gutter cleaning or prevention maintenance will keep you needing to make a water damage claim to your insurers.

Prevention is always better than cure and this certainly applies to guttering. Almost every home has some form of guttering along with businesses and public buildings, that’s a lot of cleaning.
