Blocked drains can be a real nightmare. Even a small problem can build up quickly into a major issue if it's not dealt with quickly and efficiently. Often the first we know of a blocked drain will be flooding in our home or just outside the property. When water or sewage is flooding your property you need it dealt with as quickly as possible, and you need it done properly. Often when a drain is blocked we use DIY products and think we've dislodged the blockage, but then it comes back within a few weeks - or even a few days.
Sewer cleaning is not something you automatically think of when considering household maintenance, but it is something you will need to address at some point. Regular sewer cleaning is a necessity for maintaining a steady-flowing, blockage-free system. We tend to take our drains and sewers for granted, and only think of them when a nasty smell or suspicious leak occurs. For our customers what keeps these at bay is our regular sewer maintenance service. Sewers can come in all shapes and sizes and our engineers are equipped for all of them.
We are able to provide an immediate response for burst pipes and water main repairs. A burst or leaking water main is never a good thing, and it's usually an emergency when it happens. Luckily BlockBusters is just a phone call away to help with water main repairs and replacements. If you are claiming for a water main repair on your insurance, we provide a free mediation service and will deal with your insurance company on your behalf. This means you benefit from our 30 years' experience not only in the work we do, but also in dealing with the insurance company.
The thing about plumbing and drainage problems is that there is never a convenient time for them to happen. In fact, they usually happen at the most inconvenient time. Luckily here at BlockBusters we have a 24-hour emergency plumber service. Our same day response offers peace of mind for those dealing with a watery disaster, no matter how serious. BlockBusters is established with over 30 years in the plumbing and drainage business. All of our emergency plumbers have great local knowledge as well as years of experience and the latest training and equipment.
With drain lining we use inversion technology to seal and protect the inside of pipes. A spot patch can sometimes be used to repair a small leak, but this can often be a temporary solution especially if the original problem was caused by tree roots. Rather than apply a patch to fix an isolated issue in a pipe, we use drain lining. In this process, resin can be used to create a smooth and long lasting sealed lining all the way along a section of pipe. We use a method with felt infused with resin which is pushed into place without the need for full excavation.
Having a new drain installed begins with choosing the right product for the job from a crowded and sometimes confusing market. Luckily here at BlockBusters we have years of experience in new drain installations and we are happy to help with choosing the correct drain, and then to set it in place and connect the adjacent pipes. Drains come in many different shapes and sizes and occur with a surprising frequency around the home. You're probably most used to seeing those in your bathroom or kitchen, but there are plenty of others that we don't see every day.

Drain maintenance and service is not something you might immediately think of when it comes to home maintenance, but drains are one of those things it's better to keep well maintained, than to deal with the consequences when things go wrong. Nobody wants to have to deal with blocked drains, an out of order Saniflo or clogged guttering but these things can easily happen if regular maintenance tasks are not carried out. Here at BlockBusters we provide regular scheduled servicing and maintenance for many customers, providing them with peace of mind that all is in good working order with their drains.
Irrigation has a number of useful applications. We work mostly in drainage, which is the practice of taking water away - but sometimes there are ways of utilising this water to irrigate land. If you are currently using some form of equipment to water your land, it worth speaking to us as we will most probably be able to help with an irrigation system to allow you to use natural drainage of water from elsewhere on the property to irrigate your land. The primary use for irrigation systems is of course farming and agriculture, but some of our customers are normal homeowners who have a large garden to maintain and don't want a huge water bill.
CCTV drain surveys are a great way to see into your drains without having to dig. The majority of your drainage pipes are underground, and if there's a leak or a blockage it can be tricky to know where to start. With a CCTV drain survey we use a winch and cable on a reel with CCTV equipment, which allows us to inspect every inch of your drains. A purpose-built camera is mounted at the end of the device, lit by LEDs to ensure a clear picture. This can be moved safely along drainage pipework until satisfactory footage has been obtained.
