How Our Preventative Drain Care Works

Our approach to drain maintenance is thorough, transparent, and tailored to your property. When you book a maintenance visit with WGS Services, here is exactly what you can expect:Initial Assessment: We begin by discussing any symptoms you have noticed, such as bad smells or gurgling plugholes.CCTV Drain Surveys: Using advanced camera technology, we inspect the condition of your underground pipes without any unnecessary digging. This allows us to spot fat build-ups, scale, or early signs of structural damage.High-Pressure Water Jetting: If we find blockages or heavy scale, we use environmentally friendly, chemical-free water jetting to clear the pipes and restore full flow.Condition Report: We provide honest, impartial advice on the health of your drains, outlining any further work only if genuinely required.If we spot a minor defect during the survey, we can often recommend our no-dig drain repairs, saving you time and avoiding disruption to your garden or driveway.

Why is my drain smelling or draining slowly?

A foul-smelling or slow-clearing drain is usually the first warning sign of a developing blockage. Understanding the root cause can help prevent full-scale drainage emergencies in your Lancashire home. Common culprits include:Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG): Pouring cooking oils down the kitchen sink leads to hard blockages as the fats cool and solidify in your pipes.Soap Scum and Hair: Over time, everyday bathroom waste binds together, narrowing the pipe diameter and causing slow drainage.Root Ingress: Tree and shrub roots naturally seek out moisture, often forcing their way through tiny cracks in underground pipework.Leaf and Debris Build-up: Especially during autumn and winter, external gullies easily become choked with leaves and silt.Routine domestic drain maintenance safely removes these hazards. If a sudden blockage does occur, our emergency drain unblocking team is on hand 24/7 to resolve the issue quickly.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our professional domestic drain maintenance services in Lancashire and the surrounding Lancashire areas.

How often should I have my domestic drains cleaned?

+

For most homes, a professional maintenance check every 12 to 24 months is plenty. However, if you live in an older property with trees nearby, you might need it more often to prevent root ingress from causing structural damage.

What are the signs that my drains need maintenance?

+

Keep an eye out for water draining slowly from the bath or sink, gurgling noises in the pipes, or unpleasant smells near the plugholes. If you see water pooling around external drains or manholes, you should call us straight away.

Does home insurance cover drain maintenance?

+

Most insurance policies cover "sudden and accidental" damage, like a pipe bursting, but they rarely cover issues caused by a lack of maintenance or general wear and tear. Regular cleaning helps you avoid the "gradual" problems that insurers won't pay for.

Is water jetting safe for old pipes?

+

Yes, when done by professionals. We adjust the pressure of our equipment to suit the material and age of your pipes. Being members of the Water Jetting Association means we follow strict safety guidelines to clean your drains without causing any damage.

What is a CCTV drain survey?

+

It is a process where we put a waterproof camera into your drainage system. It sends a live feed back to a monitor, allowing us to see exactly what is happening inside the pipe. It is the best way to find the cause of recurring blockages or to check the condition of pipes before you buy a new house.
