Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Grease & Fat Build-up

Cooking oils and fats solidify in pipes, gradually restricting water flow

Prevention: Never pour grease down the sink - let it cool and dispose in the bin

Hair Accumulation

Hair combines with soap to create stubborn clogs in bathroom drains

Prevention: Use drain guards in showers and baths to catch hair

Wet Wipes & Sanitary Products

These items don't break down like toilet paper and cause severe blockages

Prevention: Only flush toilet paper - bin everything else

Tree Root Intrusion

Tree roots can penetrate and block underground drainage pipes

Prevention: Regular CCTV surveys can detect early signs of root intrusion

Broken or Collapsed Pipes

Old or damaged pipes can collapse, causing complete blockages

Frequently Asked Questions

How quickly can you clear a blocked drain in Exeter?

Most standard blockages can be cleared within 30-60 minutes. We offer same-day appointments and can often attend within 2-3 hours of your call. For emergency situations, we aim to be with you within 20-45 minutes.

What causes drains to block?

Common causes include grease and fat build-up in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, wet wipes and sanitary products in toilets, and tree root intrusion in outside drains. We can advise on prevention after clearing your blockage.

Do you offer a guarantee on drain clearance?

Yes, all our drain clearance work is guaranteed for 30 days. If the same drain blocks again within this period, we'll return and clear it free of charge.

Can you prevent future blockages?

Yes, we can recommend preventative measures and offer regular maintenance contracts with high-pressure jetting to keep your drains clear. We also provide CCTV surveys to identify potential problems before they cause blockages.

What is high-pressure water jetting?

High-pressure jetting uses powerful jets of water (up to 4000 PSI) to thoroughly clean pipes and clear stubborn blockages. It's more effective than mechanical methods and cleans the entire pipe, not just makes a hole through the blockage.

Do you charge a callout fee?

No, we don't charge a callout fee. You only pay for the actual work we do. We provide fixed prices before starting work, so there are no surprises.
