Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our drainage services
Avoid pouring oils or fats down your kitchen sink, as they solidify in pipes. Don’t flush wipes or sanitary items. Roots from garden trees can also damage drains, so regular external checks help.
A CCTV survey sends a camera into the drains to record footage of their condition. You’ll get a detailed report of any problems like cracks or blockages, useful for homebuyers’ peace of mind.
Yes, we serve areas across Hertfordshire including Hatfield, Welwyn Garden City, Redbourn, Potters Bar, and Wheathampstead, as well as smaller villages near St Albans.
Drain lining adds a strong, waterproof layer inside the existing pipe, which avoids most digging. Full excavation is only needed if the pipe is collapsed or severely damaged.
Check for dry traps under sinks, unused showers, and toilets. Try running water down all outlets. If the smell persists, we can investigate for hidden leaks or venting issues.
Repeated blockages, foul smells, or sinks draining slowly can point to a collapsed or cracked pipe. Our CCTV survey can confirm whether your drain needs repair or replacement.
