A: Yes, certainly. If you’re dealing with recurring blocked drains, just clearing the blockage might not be enough. In these situations, we often recommend a CCTV drain survey. This technology allows us to look directly inside your pipes to pinpoint the exact cause – whether it’s intrusive tree roots, a pipe defect, or a persistent build-up. Once we know what we’re dealing with, we can provide lasting solutions like expert drain relining or specific pipe repairs. This thorough approach is a key part of our drainage maintenance service and helps prevent future headaches.

We can efficiently tackle even stubborn blockages in external drains across North Yorkshire.

A: We pride ourselves on our rapid emergency response, and that covers the whole of North Yorkshire. Being a truly local company means we have engineers familiar with all areas, from bustling centres like York to coastal spots like Whitby and more remote villages in the Yorkshire Dales. When you call us with an emergency blocked drain, we make it a priority to get an engineer to you swiftly to resolve the problem.

A: Over our 30 years, we’ve found the causes are often similar, though property types in North Yorkshire vary. In kitchens, it’s commonly a build-up of fats, oils, grease, and food scraps. For toilets, the prime offenders are wet wipes (even those that claim to be flushable), sanitary items, and sometimes just too much paper. Externally, particularly in greener areas or older properties around places like Ripon or Pickering, tree roots getting into pipes are a frequent problem. Leaves and debris can also block gullies. Identifying these helps us not only unblock your drain but also advise on how to prevent it happening again.
