Dial A Rod are an independently run, family-owned business and have been working across Edinburgh, East Lothian and West Lothian for over 35 years. All staff are fully-qualified drainage engineers and plumbers, each with between 15 and 35 years of industry knowledge. We also use the latest equipment when surveying, unblocking and repairing drains and sinks. As our drainage engineers and plumbers are based throughout Edinburgh, we also have the capability to respond very quickly to any blocked drains, and can usually be at your home or premises within the hour.
No one wants to deal with a blocked toilet that won't flush or is overflowing - it can be a very unpleasant experience. Blocked baths or shower basins are also a nuisance, and standing in water while having a shower can be quite irritating. It doesn't matter whether the blockage is inside the house, or in the exterior drains, we will find the cause of the problem. With the latest equipment and lots of experience, Dial A Rod will be able to get toilets working and clear blocked drains with a minimum of fuss.
We will frequently recommend drain jetting, as sometimes rods cannot reach the blockage or they just push it further along the drain. Drain jetting can be far more effective, as it blasts the blockage to pieces. It can also cut through deposits of hard grease and more stubborn blockages. It doesn't matter if the blockage is a large distance away from the manhole or drain - Dial A Rod Edinburgh's equipment can tackle all problems. Our engineers have years of experience, and we are confident that our drain jetting equipment is so powerful that it can easily cut through blockages caused by grease, scale, fat, nappies and even tree roots!
Sometimes we are called out to a situation in Edinburgh that looks like a simple blocked drain. However, there may be a more serious problem with the drain itself (e.g. it could have collapsed, or the drain could have been broken or been damaged in some way). If a drain has been broken or collapsed, water and waste may not be able to flow away, which could cause problems with flooding or sewage. We have also seen the water erode the soil around foundations, which leads to structural damage of buildings.
Dial A Rod clear the majority of blockages using a combination of manual techniques, high pressure jetting or electro-mechanical equipment. However, problems with blocked drains need further investigation. With a range of the latest CCTV cameras, we are able to inspect all sizes of drains and pipes. With a close-up view of the pipe or drain, we are able to accurately identify the nature of the blockage and deal with it quickly. Although 99% of blocked drains are cleared without the need for a CCTV drain survey, sometimes this is the only course of action to take.
Time is money, and blocked drains need to be fixed quickly and before your business suffers. Any work required needs to be carried out efficiently and cost-effectively. Dial A Rod are well equipped to deal with commercial and industrial drainage problems. We have a proven track record in dealing with private and public sector businesses, which is why so many of our commercial customers have used us exclusively for years. Why is that? We have the best equipment, respond quickly and charge sensibly for all drain problems.
