When should you hire a drainage specialist?
Call a drainage specialist for slow or blocked drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes or water backing up, and for a CCTV survey when buying a property. Recurring blockages often point to a deeper problem that is worth investigating properly rather than repeatedly clearing.
How to choose a drainage specialist
Look for membership of the National Association of Drainage Contractors (NADC) and its DrainSafe approved-contractor scheme, and the Water Jetting Association (WJA) for jetting work. Ask for a copy of any CCTV survey report and a clear, written quote before agreeing to major excavation or lining work.
What affects the cost
Drainage costs range from a quick unblock to major repairs, so get a written quote. Factors include:
- Severity of the blockage and access
- Whether it is a survey or a repair
- No-dig lining versus excavation
- Emergency or out-of-hours callout
- Length and depth of the drain run
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a CCTV drain survey when buying a house?
It is often worth it, especially for older properties. A survey reveals hidden defects, root damage or shared drains before you commit to the purchase.
Who is responsible for a blocked drain?
Generally you are responsible for drains within your property boundary; shared or public sewers are usually the water company’s responsibility. A survey can confirm which applies.
Can a blocked drain be fixed without digging?
Often yes. Many repairs use no-dig patch lining or relining, which is quicker and less disruptive than excavation.
