Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our drainage services
If possible, stop using sinks, toilets, and appliances connected to the blocked drain. Avoid harsh chemicals—these can make things worse. If water is backing up, place towels to contain any overflow.
A small camera is inserted into your pipework to record internal condition and spot damage or hidden blockages. They're useful when buying property, or if you have repeat drainage issues that basic unblocking hasn't fixed.
Homeowners are generally responsible for drains within their boundary up to where they meet pipes shared with neighbours (lateral drains) or the public sewer, which then falls to the water company. If you're unsure, we can help clarify ownership.
A bad odour can signal a blocked or damaged pipe, especially in older Sussex properties. Make sure water traps are filled. If smells persist, a professional investigation may be needed to check for hidden build-ups or faults.
Yes. We inspect, maintain, and repair septic tanks as well as soakaway systems found in rural East Sussex areas. Regular maintenance is important to prevent backups and soakaway failures.
Drain lining is a no-dig technique that installs a new lining inside a damaged pipe, minimising disruption. It's often suitable for fixing cracks and root ingress, but some problems (like collapsed drains) may still require excavation and replacement.
