Sewage Treatment Plants Birmingham

Many rural homes simply don’t have access to mains sewers because of their location. In these instances, it is important that the property owner installs a suitable system to remove the waste in a hygienic and environmentally friendly fashion. At Total Drainage Services, we specialise in the installation and maintenance of sewage treatment plants Birmingham area. With a highly experienced team, we are well placed to offer comprehensive advice to homeowners regarding the most appropriate system.

We specialise in four main varieties of sewage treatment plants Birmingham area. These are septic tanks, sewage treatment plants, soakaways and sewage pumps. All provide a selection of desirable features that make them perfect for use in specific properties, but two of the most popular are septic tanks and sewage treatment plants.

Septic Tanks – these are essentially watertight tanks that encourage solids in sewage to decompose via natural bacterial action. It also consists of a land drain system that allows the liquid to separate out and drain into the surrounding soil.

Sewage Treatment Plants – these are suitable for those properties that are positioned close to a water course or where a septic tank or soakaway is not suitable, due to poor soil quality. These are extremely discreet, as only a man-hole cover is visible.

For properties that are near to a water course, it is essential that any liquid effluent is treated more thoroughly, so that it reaches the Environment Agency’s stringent standards – only sewage treatment plants can provide this level of treatment.

Unblocking Blocked Drains In Birmingham

Often, we only realise the value of effective drainage when it ceases to be so effective! A clean, well maintained system that is functioning correctly operates unseen underground, but when drains are blocked soiled water can overflow, causing damage to property and making an environment very unpleasant. Usually, it’s only then that we solicit the services of specialists in dealing with blocked drains Birmingham, and often it can be a while before help arrives. Thankfully, drain unblocking experts, Total Drainage, offer a 24 hour a day call out service, so that homes and businesses don’t suffer for too long.

Unlike our competitors, we aim to deal with any blocked drain in one visit. This is achieved by sending one crew to carry out all of the required tasks (CCTV surveys, jetting, unblocking etc) whereas other firms rely on multiple teams to carry out one job each. However, our method results in lower costs to clients and minimum inconvenience.

We’ve discovered that many clients are unaware as to the cost of clearing blocked drains Birmingham, so we offer free no obligation quotations which are designed to give comprehensive advice as to the problem, solution and approximate cost. One solution to blockages is to clear drains using high pressure water jetting, but here at Total Drainage we understand that prevention is often the best course of action. We offer drain maintenance services so that emergencies are extremely unlikely, and any blockages are completely minor in nature.

Equipment for drain unblocking in Birmingham

As drains and sewerage systems begin to receive more waste due to Britain’s burgeoning population, maintenance and drain cleaning services have had to utilise innovative equipment and techniques to do their job. Total Drainage Service, experts in drain unblocking Birmingham, are no exception; our fully trained staff are competent in conducting dye and electronic tests of drainage runs which enable us to identify problems with defective drains and replace them. Attempting to unblock drains yourself is dangerous and could lead to doing more harm than good.

With complex drainage systems it can often be difficult to ascertain the problem. Flooding or bad odour above ground are sometimes the only clues as to the whereabouts of harmful blockages underground. Thankfully, here at Total Drainage we can attach colour CCTV cameras to pushrods and crawler units which record footage of problems up close. CCTV surveys also give our clients peace of mind that we are only charging them for work that is absolutely necessary. We believe that customers should be kept up to date regarding the services that they are receiving, and the key to this is first and foremost understanding the problem.

As we offer services to all domestic, commercial and industrial properties, we have a fully equipped National Tanker Service that is available nationwide. Our fleet of vehicles are outfitted to carry out various repair and maintenance tasks such as gully cleaning, septic tank emptying, jetting and standard drain cleaning.

In the area of drain unblocking Birmingham, a poorly outfitted company takes more time to complete jobs; and time costs money. Here at Total Drainage, we can assure customers that we have all the specialist apparatus required to provide a brisk and enduring solution to all of their drainage problems; with most jobs completed in a single visit.

Clearing Blocked Drains In Birmingham

Unblocking drains can be an unpleasant business at the best of times, which is why the demand for professional drain unblocking services remains so high. But it makes sense to do your homework and not go for the first provider that you see advertised. For instance, the team here at Total Drainage Services Ltd utilises high pressure water jetting and colour CCTV monitors to assess the extent of the blockage, ensuring we are able to provide an unrivalled level of care for blocked drains Birmingham.

If drains become blocked or damaged it is essential that they are professionally cleared or replaced immediately, as a poor drainage system can be responsible for problems such as bad smells and flooding. After carrying out a professional survey we will replace a defective drainage system and install a new one.

To conduct a drainage survey we use pushrods and crawler units with CCTV survey cameras attached to highlight the root cause of the issue. A written report is then completed, with the video footage able to show the nature of the problem. A sketch will then display how your provider is going to remedy the situation.

Many so-called drain specialists run separate crews within a franchise, for instance a jetting crew, CCTV crew and excavations crew, which facilitates the need to pay for separate visits. However, at Total Drainage we have a dedicated crew for your individual needs, so all tasks including clearing blocked drains, high pressure water jetting, plumbing, CCTV, excavation and tankers can all be performed by our professional team. Therefore work, in most cases, can be carried out in one visit, which will naturally mean lower costs for the tasks to be undertaken.
