Waking up to a blocked drain is every home owner’s nightmare. You always end up staring at the offensive blockage wondering if it would be worth tackling the messy situation yourself or calling in an expert. Confronting a blocked drain yourself can end in disaster and as such here at Total Drainage Services we are here to help. We have devised multiple methods for checking and potentially fixing your blocked drains Birmingham without causing additional damage.

First things first; if you are going to investigate yourself, it’s worth being aware that we would not recommend this course of action. If you do want to take a look, you’ll need to get yourself a pair of gloves because this is most likely going to be messy and smelly.

Next you need to check the drain to see if there is a build-up of garden debris. If not, then you will need to lift up the drain or manhole cover to check for a build-up of waste. If you can’t see any obvious blockages at this stage, the best thing to do is to buy some drain rods.

The trick here is not to let the drain rod slip down the drain, sometimes a drain rod can unscrew itself quite easily so be aware of this and keep your eye on it. Never try to reach or climb into a drain – this could end in injury.

If you have tried all the alternatives than calling in one of our professional team can save you time. Our team of highly trained engineers are qualified to fix any of your drainage problems, including your blocked drains Birmingham. We have an array of specialist equipment that our fully trained technicians can use to fix your drainage problem.

After enjoying a home cooked meal and fighting with the dishes to remove the stubborn baked on remainders of said dinner, the last thing you want to see as you remove the plug to drain away the dirty dishwasher, is the water not moving. This is could be a sign of blocked drains Birmingham and thousands of households throughout the country will be going through the exact same problem. Here at Total Drainage, we appreciate the issues connected with having a blocked drain, but they can be prevented.

Below is a simple how to guide, to provide advice on simple steps a homeowner can take to limit the chances of their drains becoming blocked.

One of the main causes for a blocked drain is the build up of fats, grease or cooking oils which have been deposited down the sink during the cooking process. This is something which we’re all guilty off, after all when cooking a lasagne, as you brown off the mince it’s likely you’ll want to remove some of the fat from the pan – and what is easier than draining it into your sink?

Unfortunately though cooking fats, etc will solidify once cooled, and this can happen within your u-bend or further down in the drainage system, leaving the piping blocked. To prevent this from happening, we’d recommend disposing fats via the bin.

Other ways to prevent your drain from becoming blocked is to recycle, bag or bin various products including:

•    Waste Food
•    Paints
•    Sanitary Products

Outside, you can prevent drains becoming blocked by ensuring your garden is clear of winter debris which has built up over the last few months – thus preventing it from falling into the drain as the rain water flows away. Check your guttering too, as decomposing vegetation can enter the drain and cause problems if left.

If you’re unfortunate enough to currently have blocked drains Birmingham though, here at Total Drainage, we can provide a professional and efficient clearance service, which is available 24 hours per day to suit your needs. We have no call out charge, instead the only fee is for the work which is carried out and this will be agreed before work commences.

Do you have a constant problem with blocked drains Birmingham? At Total Drainage Services Ltd we understand how much disturbance and inconvenience a blocked drain can add onto your busy day. To help keep your day from becoming clogged up we have a few handy little tips to keep your day running as smoothly as your sparklingly clean drains.

Top Tips for Keeping Your Drains Clear

• Regularly check plug holes for hairs and debris and remove when necessary.
• On a weekly basis pour hot water down your plug holes to prevent any debris or hair build up in your drainage system.
• Pour disinfectant down all plug holes and toilets to help keep your system clear and flush any debris away.
• Try to avoid flushing any disposable items down the toilet such as facial wipes, tissues, sanitary towels, nappies and plastic wrappings.
• If it is avoidable don’t flush fat or oil down your sink. However, if it is unavoidable pour it down the sink with hot water and plenty of detergent to prevent any potential blockages caused by encrusted fat.
• Every six months check your outside guttering to see if it needs clearing. Debris within can end up clogging drains below.
• Try and regularly check outside drains to make sure they are not blocked by such leaves or garden waste.
• Clearing food from your kitchen sink can be disgusting at the best of times. But it’s better to keep food out of your drains where possible, as if it is the cause of a blocked drain the smell of decomposing food can be particularly foul.

By sticking to these guidelines you should be able to prevent any future drain blockages from occurring. The service we provide at Total Drainage Service is not only professional but we can ensure a quality service that teaches you to prevent any future blockages from taking place again. If you struggle with reoccurring blocked drains Birmingham then get in touch with Total Drainage Service Ltd today for free advice on how to tackle that annoying blockage in your life.

If you’ve taken the plunge and moved away from the hustle and bustle of city life and opted for the tranquillity and serenity of the countryside, it is likely that you’ll be enjoying the wonderful views of nature. But as idyllic as country living is, it can have its downfalls and one of these is the lack of main sewage works. In these instances it is important to have a septic tank Bristol installed – and here at Total Drainage, we can install one for you.

When installing a septic tank Bristol, there are a number of steps to be taken into consideration before any work is carried out, and the main one is finding out from the local council any rules and regulations in regard to the size and placement of the tank.
After you’ve received planning permission and you’re aware of the regulations surrounding septic tanks in your area, you can begin with the installation, which is where we here at Total Drainage will be able to provide our service.

We’ll be able to create the perfect sized pit for the tank and we’ll also ensure that the pipes which will connect the tank to the house run slightly downhill, to ensure no problems occur later on down the line. We’ll also install the tank in a convenient place which can be easily accessed by servicing vehicles.

The installation of a septic tank isn’t an easy DIY task to carry out, but if you live in an area where there isn’t a main sewage line, it’s definitely an important task to undertake. To get the job done with  no fuss, why not give us here at Total Drainage a call?

We provide a cost effective, reliable and professional service meaning that when we install your septic tank Bristol you can be certain that it’ll be done to the highest standard – and when the tank is full, we’ll even arrange to empty it for you.

Many properties are not connected to a main sewerage system, meaning that the installation of an alternative method is necessary. For people facing the absence of this sewerage connection, there are several treatment options available, which each offer different advantages. Having a septic tank Leicester implemented into your premises is an excellent way to dispose of waste, but many are put off by the emptying process which this type of system requires. Here at Total Drainage Services however, we are able to provide a smooth, quick and easy service to rid your septic tank of all waste, leaving you to gain the benefits of an efficient sewerage system.

As well as providing a convenient emptying service, we are also able to install the tanks themselves. Using only the highest standard of systems and precise and thorough workmanship, we are able to ensure that you receive the most professional and successful system possible.

All installations begin with our team conducting a visit to assess the area, in order to provide valuable advice on the most beneficial systems for your individual property. We’ll make a precise evaluation of the environment, before giving a free detailed quotation. All of the quotes which we provide are honest and thorough – specifying all costs and parts required to complete the work.

Once your septic tank is in place, it’ll need to be regularly emptied as the waste begins to build up over time. Although the design of the tank enables all liquid effluent to be dispersed into the surrounding soil and earth, all solid waste will eventually need to be emptied. Once the tank becomes full, we’ll send one of our fully equipped tankers Leicester to carry out the emptying process for you.

All of the services which our team at Total Drainage offer are conducted with your convenience and satisfaction in mind. All septic tank Leicester emptying is carried out swiftly and with as little disruption as possible, for a quick and discreet service. If you would like to know any more about the sewerage or drainage service which we are able to offer, contact us today by simply completing our online form.

A septic tank is the most effective way of removing sewage if you are in a remote location that is not connected to the main sewage pipes. However, regular maintenance needs to be undertaken to ensure that your septic tank continues to work effectively and successfully fulfils its required task. Here at Total Drainage Services, we have the necessary vehicles and equipment to make sure that your septic tank Leicester continually treats waste sewage hygienically.

One of the most important areas of maintenance work is the emptying of your septic tank. Upon contacting us when the tank has reached it capacity, we will send one of our tankers Leicester around to your property to remove the waste. The tankers are equipped with all the necessary kit such as jetting and suction tools so that the waste can first be removed before the tank is then cleaned. Once waste has been collected, we will dispose of it in the safest, most environmentally friendly manner at fully licensed tipping facilities.

A septic tank is a successful method of treating waste and sewage as the watertight design enables the solids in the sewage to decompose at the same time as allowing the liquids to separate and disperse into the soil via an innovative drainage system. With its discreet installation and odour free solution for treating your waste, a septic tank can be an effective solution for domestic, commercial and industrial properties.

Should your septic tank need any other form of maintenance during its lifespan, such as a repair, we at Total Drainage Services are on hand to help. A major benefit of the septic tank is that, other than emptying, often very little work needs to be conducted; however should a problem arise our team have the skills and equipment to resolve it for you.

If you are looking for regular maintenance of your septic tank Leicester, giving us a call or contacting the Total Drainage Services team via one of the other methods on the ‘Contact Us’ page of our website can guarantee that this happens.

If you already have a septic tank fitted at your property, you’ll recognise the importance of having it emptied on a regular basis. As an effective method of sewage treatment, the benefits of having such a self-sufficient system implemented within your garden are multiple. However, many people are deterred from considering a septic tank Leicester due to the associated inconvenience of having the system emptied. Here at Total Drainage, we are able to make your life as easy as possible, with our smooth and swift tanker emptying services.

Having a septic tank at your property consists of two simple steps;

Installation

The tank will be fitted in the ground, providing a discreet and useful form of waste disposal. Its watertight design will allow solids in the sewage to settle within the tank, enabling it to gradually decompose over time. All liquids will be able to naturally disperse into the soil, via the built-in drainage system.

Emptying

Once the septic tank begins to fill up, its efficiency will begin to reduce, which is why it is so important to have it emptied on a frequent basis. We have a fleet of tankers Leicester, capable of undertaking tasks of all sizes, guaranteeing you swift and convenient removal of all sewage. Once we’ve emptied your septic tank, we then dispose of all waste in a safe and environmentally friendly manner. As registered waste carriers and disposers, all of the waste which we collect is disposed of within fully licensed tipping facilities.

A high quality, and professional installed septic tank system will be free from odour, and able to last for a long period of time without any maintenance. As an excellent option with those with no access to main drainage systems, or for those wanting to find an effective method of disposing their own waste, a septic tank Leicester is an intelligent choice.
