Why Blocked Drains Happen in Bury St Edmunds

Blocked drains are a common issue in both residential and commercial properties, and they can arise for a variety of reasons. In Bury St Edmunds, we frequently encounter blockages caused by:

• Tree root intrusion
• Fat, oil, and grease build-up
• Hair and soap scum accumulation
• Foreign objects flushed down toilets
• Silt and sediment build-up in outdoor drains

The unique mix of older properties and newer developments in Bury St Edmunds often means drainage systems can vary significantly from street to street. Our local knowledge allows us to tailor our approach to suit your specific property and drainage setup.

Our Drain Unblocking Services

Our specialist drain unblocking services in Bury St Edmunds cover a wide range of scenarios. No blockage is too big or too small. Here’s how we help:

High-Pressure Water Jetting

We use powerful water jetting equipment to clear blockages quickly and safely, removing debris, grease, and roots without damaging your pipes.

Manual Rodding

For smaller, more straightforward blockages, we use manual rods to dislodge the obstruction and restore normal flow.

CCTV Drain Surveys

When the cause of the blockage isn’t immediately obvious, we deploy advanced CCTV technology to inspect your drains internally. This gives us a clear picture and allows us to recommend the most appropriate solution.

Drain Tracing and Mapping

For properties with complex drainage layouts or historical pipe systems, we provide drain mapping to understand and document your system before beginning work.

Full-Range Draining Services in Bury St Edmunds

In addition to unblocking drains, we offer a comprehensive range of draining services, including:

Drain Repairs

From minor cracks to collapsed pipes, we provide repair solutions using patch lining, excavation, or full replacement, depending on the severity.

Drain Relining

A cost-effective no-dig method that reinforces your existing pipes by fitting a resin liner inside them. This strengthens your drains and restores flow without the need for disruptive digging.

Root Removal

Tree roots are a common problem in older properties. We remove invasive roots and install preventative solutions to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Descaling and Cleaning

We clear years of scale and build-up from older pipes, improving flow and preventing future blockages.

Gutter and Downpipe Clearance

Rainwater systems can also become blocked. We clear leaves, silt, and debris to ensure proper drainage and reduce the risk of damp and structural issues.
