Drain Unblocking

Fast, professional support for blocked residential drainage systems.

A blocked drain rarely picks a convenient moment. Our engineers arrive with the equipment to clear the blockage properly, then check the system afterwards so you know whether it was a one-off or a sign of something underlying. We also handle drain repairs where a blockage has been caused by damaged pipework.

CCTV Drain Surveys

CCTV Drain Surveys

Specialist camera equipment lets us travel through the drainage system and look at its condition directly. That means we can find the cause of a recurring or hidden problem accurately, and recommend a repair based on evidence rather than guesswork. Where relevant we can provide before-and-after reporting so you can see the difference.

Accurate Investigation

Clear Findings

Drain Re-Lining

Repair damaged pipework with far less digging, where the pipe is suitable.

Re-lining repairs a drain from the inside. A new lining is formed within the existing pipe, sealing cracks and damage and giving the drainage system a longer life — usually without excavating your driveway or garden. We will always tell you honestly if traditional excavation is the more sensible option for your property.

Benefits of re-lining

Less Disruption

Septic Tank Services

Experienced support for properties running on a septic tank system.

Septic tank drainage behaves differently to mains drainage, and problems tend to develop gradually. Our team can assess how your system is performing, explain what we find and recommend the appropriate next step — whether that is maintenance, further investigation or repair work.

Honest Advice

Soakaways

A practical way of managing excess surface water around a property.

A soakaway collects surface water and allows it to disperse gradually into the surrounding ground. Where ground conditions are suitable it is an effective solution for standing water and rainwater that has nowhere to go. We assess the site first, then explain what is realistic for your property.

Commercial Drainage

Dependable drainage support for businesses, landlords and property managers.

Commercial drainage problems cost time as well as money. We work with offices, shops, hospitality venues, landlords and property managers, planning attendance around your operating hours wherever possible and keeping you informed so you can manage staff, tenants and customers.

Minimised Disruption

PITCH FIBRE REHABILITATION

Restore Failing Pitch Fibre Drains Without Extensive Excavation.

Pitch fibre drainage was widely installed in UK properties between the 1940s and 1970s, but over time it can deform, blister and lose its structural integrity. Using specialist non-dig techniques, we can re-round and rehabilitate affected pipework before installing a structural CIPP liner — creating a strong, smooth new pipe within the existing drain.

Non-Dig Rehabilitation

Long-Term Solution

Why Choose Pitch Fibre Rehabilitation?

Traditionally, badly deteriorated pitch fibre drainage could require extensive excavation and complete pipe replacement. This can be disruptive, time-consuming and costly, particularly where drainage runs beneath driveways, landscaped areas or buildings.

 

At Clear Drain Solutions, we use specialist equipment to mechanically re-round and reform suitable pitch fibre pipework before installing a CIPP structural liner. The liner forms a strong, smooth and joint-free pipe within the existing drainage system, restoring structural integrity and improving flow.

 

Where suitable, this provides an effective long-term alternative to excavation, helping to reduce disruption, installation time and overall remedial costs while extending the life of the existing drainage system.

Our Difference

One Team From Diagnosis to Solution

Many drainage companies subcontract parts of the job. We don’t. Keeping our drainage solutions in-house changes the experience you get as a customer.

Better communication — the people who diagnosed the problem are the people who fix it.

Greater accountability — no passing responsibility between contractors.

Consistent workmanship across every stage of the job.

Less confusion — you are told one story about your drains, not three.

Professional Work. Long-Term Peace of Mind.

Reassurance

Guarantee terms depend on the type of work carried out. Our team will confirm exactly what applies to your job before work begins.

Excellent Service – Highly Recommended Really pleased with the work carried out by Clear Drain Solutions at my house. They installed new drainage for us and did a fantastic job from start to finish. The team were professional, knowledgeable and reliable, and explained everything clearly throughout the job. The work was completed to a very high standard, everything was left clean and tidy afterwards, and the whole process was hassle-free. It’s refreshing to deal with a company that takes pride in their work and does exactly what they say they will do. Would definitely use Clear Drain Solutions again and would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone needing drainage work. 5 stars – great job and excellent service!

Called Drain Solutions first thing in the morning and couldn’t be happier with the service. The customer team were great and arranged for someone to come out the same day. Sam and Dave turned up, kept me posted on their arrival, and were both really friendly and professional. They sorted the blockage in just 30 minutes, keeping me informed throughout and showing me pictures of it on their camera so I could see what was going on. Both did a great job, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

What causes a blocked drain?
Most blockages build up over time. Fats, wipes, hair, food waste, silt and leaf debris gradually restrict the pipe until water can no longer pass through freely. Root ingress, displaced joints and damaged pipework can also cause blockages that keep returning.
A survey is worth considering if a drain keeps blocking, you can smell something you cannot trace, or you suspect the pipework itself is damaged. It is also useful before buying a property, so you understand the condition of the drainage system before you commit.
Recurring blockages usually point to an underlying cause rather than bad luck — a partial collapse, a dip in the pipe, root ingress or a build-up further down the system. Clearing the blockage helps in the short term; identifying the cause is what stops it returning.

 

In many cases, yes. Where the pipework is suitable, drain re-lining can repair cracks and damage from inside the pipe, which means far less digging. We will always tell you honestly if excavation is the more sensible option.
