The first signs of a blockage can sometimes appear minor, but drainage problems can escalate once the pipe becomes heavily restricted. Slow-running water may eventually stop altogether, while wastewater can begin backing up through other parts of the system. Prompt clearance can restore flow before the disruption spreads further around the property.
For customers in Hinckley, Drains Are Us provides professional emergency drain unblocking using specialist drainage equipment. We tackle severe obstructions efficiently and take a practical approach to recurring problems, helping establish whether further investigation is needed after the immediate blockage has been removed.
1. Assess the Symptoms
We determine which parts of the drainage system are affected and locate the likely source of the obstruction.
2. Remove the Restriction
Specialist drain clearance equipment is used to break apart or extract the blockage.
3. Clean the Drain
High pressure water jetting may be used to remove stubborn material and improve flow through the pipework.
4. Look for Underlying Issues
Recurring blockages can be investigated further where there are signs of damage, root intrusion or another persistent cause.
5. Return the System to Working Order
Once the blockage has been dealt with, we check drainage flow and ensure the affected section is operating properly again.
