Even when there’s a lockdown, drains still need clearing. The Drainflow team has been as busy as ever throughout the past 3 months across Beds, Bucks, Herts and North London. We’ve cleared sinks and toilets, dealt with overflowing gullies, and flushed out drainage systems clogged with mud or tree roots. In this blog we take a look at a couple of the most recent jobs we’ve completed.
Blocked gullies are not high on most people’s worry list – until they have one! Then it can become a real source of worry and concern. If you’re not a drain clearance specialist they can be tricky to diagnose. It may start with shower or sink drainage slowing down. In some cases water ceases to drain at all. Or running taps in the bathroom may make the water in your toilet bowl rise….
When you start to experience these problems, it’s time to get an expert in.
If you’ve ever needed someone to fix a blocked toilet, or clear a blocked sink, you’ll know why local blocked drain experts are so much in demand. Much of the work Drainflow does in Herts, Beds and Bucks is for families or businesses that need a problem solved fast. The aim of all our local engineers is to provide first time fixes if at all possible – because blocked drains disrupt lives and livelihoods.
When you hit a problem with your drains, there’s plenty of drain clearance experts out there. So what makes Drainflow different to the rest? OK, so we work hard to be a local option for anyone with a blocked drain, from householders to hospitals, but why choose us to clear your pipes of unwelcome blockages? Our customer feedback tells us that there’s a number of things about what we do that customers value – we thought we’d give you the top 5.
Roots clogging up drains is one of the most common problems Drainflow engineers encounter, especially in rural locations. So when we were called out to Barton-le-Clay to investigate a blocked drain on the industrial estate, we guessed what the problem would be. Tree roots are attracted to the moisture running through pipes and push through joints or cracks to access it.
When our drains get blocked, what we want is an immediate solution, but that’s not always possible. Sometimes the blockage is located beyond your pipes, in the drainage system that removes the waste from your home. When this is the case, a CCTV drain survey is used to locate the blockage prior to drain clearance. In this blog, we take a look at how CCTV drain inspections in Bedford are carried out by the Drainflow team.
