Your engineer checks every access point. If needed, a CCTV drain camera pinpoints the exact blockage and its cause, since not every fault is visible by eye.
We clear the blockage with high-pressure jetting, rodding, or cutting tools, since each blockage needs a different approach. Then we flush the line clean.
We run water through every affected fixture. Then we check the drainage run to confirm flow is fully restored, with no other issues.
You get a summary of what caused the blockage. We add practical steps to stop it recurring, suited to your Burton upon Trent property type.
We check where your home sits first. Low homes near the river may need a different method, since they face a higher risk of standing water. We then pick the best way to clear your drain.
