Where are you based?

How far can you travel?

Although we cover the South West, we will only ever travel to other areas in the region if the task is a larger commercial job.

What are CCTV Surveys?

One of the biggest challenges of drain unblocking is identifying the source of the blockage, which is commonly buried underneath the landscaping and concrete foundation. CCTV drain surveys is the process of sending a camera into the drain to identify the exact location of the blockage. This will lead to our team knowing the exact location of the blockage so that we can unblock it promptly.

What is resin lining?

Over time, drains can become damaged due to significant amounts of wear and tear, which can lead to the drain becoming inefficient. Completely replacing a drain is a costly, labour-intensive, and invasive process, and with resin lining, completely replacing a drain can be avoided. Resin lining a drain can ensure that the drain functions correctly. 

What is PPM?

PPM is an acronym for pre-planned maintenance. Pre-planned maintenance ensures that a drain is functioning correctly and can also prevent a drain from eventually becoming damaged, blocked, or leaking. Pre-planned maintenance can take place in both domestic and commercial properties and is a fantastic way of preventing disruptiveness with faulty drains.
