HOW CAN I TELL IF MY DRAIN NEEDS UNBLOCKING??

Indications that your drains need unblocking are toilet backing up post flushing, slow draining sinks or baths, bad smells emanating from drains and plug holes that gargle.

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO UNBLOCK A DRAIN?

Each situation is different but generally it takes an average of between 45 -90 minutes to unblock a drain.

We use specialist equipment that we keep on our vehicles our vehicles such as professional plungers, rods , high pressure jetting unit and cctv equipment. Generally, the drainage problem can be understood and we will get your drains flowing again in one visit.

CAN TREE ROOTS EFFECT THE DRAINS?

Yes , tree roots can grow into your drains and cause blockages and damage, but they can be removed fairly simply, in most instances, with specialist machinery to prevent further damage.

SHOULD I HAVE MY PITCH FIBRE DRAINS REPAIRED?

Pitch fibre drains were installed in the 1940s, and were still installed until the 1970s. Pitch fibre pipes last approximately 40 years. If your pitch fibre drains are not leaking, deformed or blocking probably should be left alone. The asbestos is underground and so not a health risk.

If your pitch fibre drains do create a problem, they can be excavated and replaced, or, if they are not deformed too much, they can be structurally lined. This is a non-dig technology repair. Structural lining repair is on the whole, quicker, cheaper and less disruptive than excavation and replacement.

It is important that only expert drainage operatives handle pitch fibre drain repairs due to the asbestos element.

HOW OFTEN SHOULD MY SEPTIC TANK NEED MAINTENANCE?

Your septic tank should last a number of years without maintenance. However, every so often, it should be cleared of sewage waste. This is normally done every few years. It is recommended that a professional carries out this work due to the potential hazard risk. DrainBoss offer a septic tank maintenance service to ensure that your septic tank works proficiently and all the pipework is cleaned out and free flowing.
