Drain Cleaning – High Pressure Jetting

Sewer cleaning is fundamental to prevent debris and waste building-up over a period of time. Depending on the use it can be a short time before problems on the drainage system begin to show. Blocked Drains are usually problems occurring from debris or waste build-up and are therefore cleaned with drain cleaning tools and specialist machinery such as High Pressure Water Jetting Systems.

Drain Cleaning Maintenance

Prevention is better than cure and non more so when drain cleaning is involved. Having your drains maintained with quarterly or half yearly jetting will prevent problems occurring. Maintaining drains is quick and efficient and therefore cost effective. A Drain that has caused problems with blockage will take twice or three times as long to resolve and clear the waste blockage.

Cost Effective Drain Cleaning

Our fully trained drain cleaning engineers are Professionally trained to resolve your blocked drains with our Highly powered water jets that cut through waste and debris leaving you with a fresh cleaned drainage system.

10 Gallons of Water per Minute

Our highly specialist drain cleaning equipment provides us with powerful tools to clean drains and blocked sewerage systems. The Jet Water system is highly pressurized to provide almost 10 gallons of jet water that clears drains in minutes, fast and cost effective.

Advanced Drain Inspections

Should your drains be blocked we have a full range of drain services that provide us with CCTV survey inspection equipment to check for structural damage to pipes and drains.

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.

The big debate has been about the Somerset levels drainage and river cleaning and dredging. However, the Somerset council and authorities should also be looking into the Drainage issues that had occurred prior to the flooding. Due to the strong winds and debris waste making it’s way into the drains and pipes followed by heavy rain the initial street level drainage was not efficiently working to help with the water levels.

Regular Drain Cleaning

As most residents know the drains need to be cleaned on a regular basis to prevent debris build-up and waste clogging the pipes. An annual drain cleaning contract is probably the best and most financial efficient method to keep all drains flowing efficiently regardless to the time of year and seasons. During the Autumn in the UK there is always a lot of leaf and branch waste whereas during the Summer there is just general public waste that enters the drainage systems.

The Winter months we tend to have some snow in certain parts of the UK but this winter there has hardly been a frost. This should have helped with water levels but due to the amount of rainfall the drainage and rivers have simply been in-undated.

Drainage Maintenance

Drainage maintenance starts from within the home. Preventing Blocked Drains in Toilets, en-suites, showers and kitchen waste pipes, U-bends to general kitchen waste. If you’ve been having slow draining water from any sinks or shower cubicles then there may be underlying drainage issues. If the toilet water level rises rapidly when the flush is pulled then you may have problems further down the pipeline waste pipe.

Drain Rodding

Drainage rodding is not a simple method to clear your waste pipes and drainage as more damage can be caused without proper use of such rods.

Pushing the blockage further up the drains will no doubt become an even bigger problem later on. Cracked pipes or collapsed drains will also give the home owner the thought that the blockage has been resolved only to find out later that an even bigger problem was caused by using the cleaning methods with forceful nature.

Drain Cleaning Prevention is better than Cure

Blocked Drains can be cleared with commercial cleaners and if household waste or toilet paper blockages as such use of strong toilet cleaners and drain unblocking chemicals can clear the problem and monthly use will prevent the drain issue returning.

The rain continues to fall in the wettest January since UK Weather records began the Environmental Agency and UK Met Office announced last week.

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.
