The Drain People

Are you suffering problems with blocked drains, a blocked pipe, sink, bath or toilet in the East Midlands area? Are you experiencing nasty smells, problems flushing the toilet, stagnant water, slow drainage, and high rising or gurgling toilets, sinks or showers? If you are, the problem needs repairing fast. The Drain People are here to help, 24/7, 365 days a year. Using powerful equipment and the latest technology, our drainage experts can fix any drainage problem. Our services cover all aspects of internal & external drainage.

When a closer inspection of your drains is required, whether that be for the purpose of a new home purchase or to pinpoint the cause of a recurring problem, our CCTV Drain Camera Surveys (Drain Inspection) will enable you to do so. You can see inside your drainage system and even watch live as we systematically camera your drain lines. Full reports are produced and provided with a solution for any potential remedial works. We can then prepare a quotation to rectify any problems that have become evident in the survey.

A blocked drain can cause symptoms varying from slow draining toilets, sinks, baths and dishwashers to bad odours and in a worst-case scenario, contaminated water or sewerage coming up through the drains externally or even inside the house. Blockages can occur by chance or due to problems in the pipework or underground drainage system. Whether the blockage is located within the smaller diameter pipework leading from a sink to the drains, in an external gully, not in a manhole or further down in the underground drainage system - we have the experience and equipment to get your drains flowing again.

If so, your search is over! For years, The Drain People have been Leicester's trusted experts in drain clearance and maintenance. Your drains are one of the most important parts of any home or business, so we understand just how important free-flowing drains can be. With our years of drainage experience, expertise, and equipment, we will have your drains back up and flowing in no time. For Leicester home and business owners, a blocked drainage pipe will be troublesome if not taken care of immediately.

One of the most effective ways to achieve successful drain clearance, high-pressure water jetting is the best way to clear stubborn blockages. Our vans are equipped with top of the range, powerful high-pressure water jets. These jets are used when the more traditional techniques such as rodding just won't cut it. High-pressure water jetting is used to completely clear your drains of any unwanted waste build-up, ensuring your drains are flowing as they should. We introduce a special hose into the pipe which fires pressurized water jets at up to 5000 psi.

Cracks, fractures, breaks, displaced joints and general wear and tear can occur within a drainage system, even with newer uPVC. This kind of damage can be caused by a range of different factors, such as tree root ingress, subsidence, building works and sometimes just the age of old clay or pitch-fibre pipes. Damage such as this will create issues that will affect your household, causing slow or blocked drains, odours or leaks and contaminated flooding. If ignored these could lead to collapse. Luckily we have the technology at our disposal to repair this type of damage, without the need for costly or disruptive excavations from access points above ground.

Slow draining or completely blocked toilets are both unhygienic and unpleasant. The Drain People will unblock your toilet quickly and with the minimum of fuss, using specialist equipment and/or high-pressure water jets. Our drainage engineers are very experienced in dealing with toilet blockages and will clear the problem so you can get back to normality. The Drain People clear/unblock all types of toilets, sinks and baths so whatever your drainage problems, we are here to help! We charge a FIXED FEE so you know how much a job will be from the start and there is no call out charge even on bank holidays and weekends.

It is vital to maintain your drains to ensure flow is always at its full potential, avoiding any unwanted blockages or unnecessary repairs. Often you won't know if there is an issue until it is too late, so we would always advise keeping on top of your drains simply by cleaning them regularly using high pressuring water jetting or even having them checked with our specialist CCTV equipment. This will ensure that any waste sitting in the pipe or natural build-up of scale will be flushed out, keeping your system running as it should.
