How Our Preston Drainage Diagnosis and Repair Works

Finding the exact cause of a drainage issue without the right tools can be costly and disruptive. At WGS Services, we utilise an efficient, technology-driven approach to locate and resolve your problems swiftly.Rapid Diagnosis: We often start with detailed CCTV drain surveys in Lancashire to see exactly what is happening underground. This removes the guesswork, allowing us to spot root ingress, fatbergs, or structural damage.Targeted Clearing: Once we identify the blockage, we use high pressure water jetting to safely and effectively clear stubborn debris without harming your pipes.Lasting Repairs: If we discover a cracked or collapsed pipe, we offer the industry-approved Pipe Doctor system. This allows us to perform no-dig drain repairs, fixing the issue from the inside and saving your driveway or garden from heavy excavation.Our step-by-step process is designed to give you clarity and confidence from the moment we arrive at your Preston property.

Fast, Eco-Friendly Drain Unblocking and Lasting Repairs

Choosing professional drain clearing over harsh, off-the-shelf chemical cleaners is the safest and most eco-friendly way to protect your plumbing.

Our drainage maintenance and clearing methods rely on high-pressure water and precision tools to remove blockages naturally and effectively.Furthermore, our commitment to using the Pipe Doctor approved no-dig repair system means we can rehabilitate damaged pipes with minimal environmental disruption.

Why Are My Drains Blocked? Answering Your Preston Drainage Questions

We regularly help homeowners and businesses in Preston understand their drainage systems. Here are a few common questions we encounter:Why is my drain smelling so badly?Foul odours usually indicate a partial blockage caused by trapped food waste, fats, or soap scum. In some cases, it can point to a cracked pipe allowing sewer gases to escape. A professional CCTV survey will pinpoint the exact cause quickly.Who is responsible for blocked drains in Preston?Generally, you are responsible for the drains inside your property boundaries. However, shared lateral drains or sewers are usually the responsibility of United Utilities. We can help identify where the issue lies during our initial inspection.What happens during a CCTV drain survey?We guide a state-of-the-art camera through your drainage system to record live footage of the pipe's condition.

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.
