Blocked Drains in Chester

The majority of domestic blockages are cleared within one to two hours of our arrival. More complex issues, such as deep root ingress in the clay pipes common beneath Chester's Victorian terraces, may take longer, but we will give you an honest timeframe after our initial inspection.

In Chester, the most frequent causes are fat and grease buildup from kitchens, hair and soap accumulation in bathroom pipes, tree root penetration through old clay pipe joints, and foreign objects such as wet wipes and sanitary products. Cheshire's heavy clay subsoil also contributes by shifting around pipes and displacing joints over time. A CCTV inspection can pinpoint the exact cause.

Not when done by a qualified engineer using the correct equipment and technique. We match the clearing method to the pipe material and condition. For example, we reduce jetting pressure on older clay pipes and avoid mechanical cutting tools on pitch fibre drains. If we suspect structural fragility, we inspect with CCTV before commencing clearance.
