How Our Drain Maintenance Process Works

Our approach to domestic drainage is methodical, transparent, and built around protecting your property. When you book a maintenance visit with WGS Services, we follow a clear, professional process to ensure nothing is missed.Thorough Inspection: We start with advanced CCTV drain surveys to safely inspect the hidden pipework beneath your property, checking for cracks, blockages, or collapsed sections without any unnecessary digging.Eco-Friendly Cleaning: If we find a build-up of grease, soap scum, or debris, we use high-pressure water jetting. This highly effective, environmentally friendly method clears the pipes using pure water, removing stubborn blockages and restoring full flow.Expert Assessment: Once the system is clean, our engineers will provide impartial advice on how to keep your drains healthy, along with a clear report of our findings.

Why Are My Home Drains Draining Slowly?

Slow drainage is often the first warning sign of a developing problem. Understanding what causes these issues can help you take action before an emergency strikes. Common culprits include:Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG): Pouring cooking oils down the kitchen sink is a leading cause of domestic blockages. Over time, these solidify and narrow the pipework.Root Ingress: Tree and shrub roots naturally seek moisture. They can easily penetrate tiny cracks in older clay pipes, eventually blocking the entire system.Seasonal Debris: Autumn leaves and winter storms can quickly wash debris into your external gullies, leading to sudden surface water flooding.Soap Scum and Hair: Bathroom pipes frequently suffer from a build-up of hair and soap residue, which creates stubborn, deep-seated clogs.Regular maintenance targets these issues early, ensuring your pipes remain clear throughout the year, especially during the harsh winter months when freezing water can crack blocked pipes.

The Benefits of Proactive Pipe Cleaning

Investing in routine drain maintenance offers significant long-term advantages for homeowners in Standish. First and foremost, it is highly cost-effective. By clearing minor blockages and scale build-up now, you prevent the need for costly emergency drain unblocking or extensive excavation work later.Furthermore, regular cleaning eliminates unpleasant odours caused by trapped waste, improving the comfort and hygiene of your home. Our eco-friendly high-pressure jetting not only protects the local environment by avoiding harsh chemicals, but it also thoroughly descales your pipes, returning them to optimal working condition and extending the lifespan of your drainage system.

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.
