Who to call when your drains hit a problem?

There are few more stressful worries in life than when your drains start to go wrong. If you are having problems with blockages or, even worse, backflow resulting in flooding, then you will need to get hold of someone really quickly to sort the issue out. That’s where the Drain Lining Bracknell based experts www.drainpower.co.uk/drainage-services/drain-lining/drain-lining-bracknell/ can prove to be the emergency service you need.

Tree Roots and Collapsed Drains

There can be many causes of the problem. One of the most dramatic, but still quite common, is tree roots breaking through the pipe joints and lining. Trees seek out water sources, and the chance to tap into your drain is too good to miss. Another cause is the pressure of the soil causing the drain to collapse in on itself.

Fat, Wipes and Nappies

The most common causes usually come down to what we put down the drain. Perhaps you’ve been pouring fat or food waste down the sink? When fat goes cold and sets, it can form an almost impenetrable barrier for wastewater. The other culprit is wet wipes. Even the so-called flushable ones are thought to cause blockages. It’s also a common mistake to flush a used nappy. Unfortunately, these have no chance of reaching the main sewer and will soon block things up.

Finding the Problem

A quick look with a CCTV camera will soon show what the issue is and what needs to be done.
