Why is my drain smelling or overflowing?

A foul odour or a backing-up drain is usually the first sign of a deeper problem within your pipework. Unpleasant smells often result from a buildup of organic matter, fats, or oils trapped in the system. During autumn, falling leaves frequently cause external gutter and grid blockages, while freezing winter temperatures can exacerbate structural pipe damage.More severe overflows might indicate root ingress, where tree roots break through pipe joints, or a collapsed drain requiring professional excavation. Rather than relying on harsh chemical cleaners that can damage your pipes and harm the environment, it is always best to consult a qualified local expert for safe, effective drain unblocking.

We are committed to sustainable, eco-friendly drainage solutions that protect both your property and the local environment. When a pipe is cracked or damaged, we utilise the industry-approved Pipe Doctor repair system. This advanced no-dig technology allows us to patch and cure damaged pipes from the inside, saving you the cost, mess, and disruption of traditional surface excavation.All our repair works are fully compliant with Building Regulations Part H (Drainage and Waste Disposal) and meet the strict standards required by local water authorities like United Utilities.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our drainage services in Lancashire

How do I know if my drain is blocked or if it is a problem with the main sewer?

+

If only one fixture, like your sink, is slow to drain, the blockage is likely in that specific pipe. If multiple toilets or drains are backing up, or if you see water rising out of an external manhole, the problem is in the main drainage line. If the issue is outside your property boundary, it may be the responsibility of United Utilities, but we can help you identify exactly where the fault lies with a quick inspection.

What is a no-dig drain repair and how long does it last?

+

No-dig repair, or patch lining, involves inserting a resin-impregnated liner into the damaged pipe and inflating it until it hardens. Once cured, it forms a "pipe within a pipe" that is often stronger than the original. These repairs are designed to last for decades and are much faster and cheaper than digging up your floor or garden.

Why should I get a CCTV survey before buying a house?

+

A standard home survey rarely covers the underground infrastructure. If the house you are buying has cracked pipes or tree roots growing into the drains, you could be facing a bill for thousands of pounds shortly after moving in. Our homebuyer reports give you leverage to ask the seller to fix the issues or lower the asking price before you commit to the purchase.

Do you offer emergency drainage services 24/7?

+

Yes, we understand that drainage problems don't stick to office hours. We provide emergency response across Lancashire to deal with floods, severe blockages, and burst pipes. Our goal is to get your home or business back to normal as quickly as possible with minimal disruption.
