How Our Preventative Drainage Service Works

Taking a proactive approach to your home pipework is the best way to ensure everything flows smoothly. Our maintenance process is designed to be thorough, transparent, and completely tailored to your property.Initial Assessment: We start by understanding your drainage history. If you have had recurring issues, we may recommend a detailed CCTV drain survey to see exactly what is happening underground.High-Pressure Jetting: Using environmentally safe high-pressure water jetting, we strip away stubborn fat build-up, soap scum, and scale from the inside of your pipes.System Health Check: Once the pipes are clean, we check for early signs of damage, such as minor root ingress or hairline cracks, ensuring your system remains structurally sound.Our engineers will always explain their findings clearly and offer honest, impartial advice on how to look after your drains moving forward.

Why Are My Home Drains Draining Slowly?

It is easy to ignore a gurgling plughole or a sink that takes just a little too long to empty. However, these are often the first warning signs of an impending blockage. Understanding the cause can help you avoid a messy emergency.The most common culprits for domestic drainage issues include a build-up of cooking fats and oils poured down the kitchen sink, combined with soap scum and hair in the bathroom. Over time, these substances solidify, reducing the diameter of your pipes. Outside, autumn leaves and invasive tree roots can easily enter your drainage system, causing significant blockages and even pipe displacement.By investing in routine domestic drain maintenance, we can identify and remove these hazards early. If you are already facing a total blockage, do not worry—our emergency drain unblocking team is on hand 24/7 to resolve the issue rapidly.

Protecting Your Property and Saving You Money

Routine drain maintenance is not just about keeping water flowing; it is a highly cost-effective way to protect your home. Emergency call-outs for severe blockages or burst pipes can be disruptive and costly. By keeping your drainage system clean and efficient, you drastically reduce the risk of structural damage, foul odours, and unsanitary wastewater floods.At WGS Services, we operate with complete price transparency.

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.
