Drainage issues?

There’s no need to dig with trenchless technology from our Billericay engineers

Conventional drainage systems often involve digging. And that can disrupt traffic, damage the landscape and upset the neighbours too. The more invasive the work, the more costly it can be. And the longer it takes to complete. But with Drainfix Services’ trenchless technology, we can carry out the necessary fixes without all this disruption. We’re based in Billericay, get in touch for a free, no-obligation quote. We work right across Essex including Chelmsford, Brentwood, Basildon, Witham, Braintree and surrounding areas.

Most common drainage issues can be rectified with trenchless tech

Fixes. Rehabilitation. Replacements. Everything that could be required to rectify pipework, sewers and drainage system structures.

At Drainfix Services, we use a variety of techniques to circumvent trench work, including specialised lining techniques. With these methods, we can repair anything from small segments to entire sections of pipework, all without any digging. And if there’s a spot where pipes meet, we can still carry out the fix without disrupting water flow.

Is the pipework ancient? Even if your property’s drainage system still uses pitch fibre pipework from the 60s and 70s, we can still re-form and re-round faulty and collapsing pipework without having to dig.

The most common cause of toilets getting blocked is the wrong things being put in them. All that should go in them is the three Ps: pee, poo and paper. Anything else should go somewhere else.

The items we see most often when we are unblocking toilets include:

  • Feminine hygiene products, and their packaging
  • Human hair
  • Wet wipes – including the ones that claim to be flushable
  • Cotton wool, cotton buds and cotton balls
  • Used condoms
  • Dirty nappies

We’re often asked about the areas where we work. We are an Essex company, based in Chelmsford, so we often work in our hometown plus neighbouring towns like Basildon, Brentwood, Harlow and Southend. We also work in London and go down south to Kent and across west to the Home Counties.

If you’re not sure if this includes you, just give us a call on 01245 268523.

  • Blockages are not always immediately visible. Warning signs to look out for include:
  • Baths and sinks being slow to empty
  • Unpleasant smells, like rotten eggs, coming up through plugholes
  • Gurgling sounds when you empty a bath or sink

If you see these symptoms, please don’t delay in getting the problem solved. Delays can make things worse, including water flooding from the drain into your house.

It’s not just drains and toilets! If you have problems with anything where waste water is not flowing away as quickly as it should, we can help. This covers:

  • Showers
  • Baths
  • Sinks
  • Toilets
  • Drains inside and outside your house.

If you notice that wastewater is not draining away as quickly as it used to, it’s worthwhile asking us to take a look. We can fix the problem and, more importantly, stop it from developing into a complete blockage.

There are many different things that can block a drain or toilet. Luckily, we are experts at dealing with all of them. Some of the most common ones we see are:

  • Wet wipes: even the ones that say they are flushable can cause problems
  • Fat and oil from the kitchen sink that solidify in the pipes
  • Leaves and tree roots

Drainfix Services can offer emergency operatives around the clock to deal with minor leaks, flooding and problematic systems. We have many years’ experience in the business, covering everything from drainage faults and disaster control to reactive and emergency works. But if you are looking for someone to plumb in your new washing machine or carry out a bathroom refurb, we may not be the company for you.

We use the best leading technology to survey drains and discover any structural drainage concerns. We also provide a full written (and heavily detailed) report – including any recommendations – to help address any issues that we may have found.

We can also carry out soil testing and foundation investigations as a part of this survey, should you require!

Drain excavations are not always necessary. Excavation and repairs are only suggested or carried out by Drainfix in those cases where a basic drain or pipe clearance/repair is not enough to fix the problem. Often, simply jetting and lining a pipe can suffice.

However – over time – ground movement, root ingress, subsidence and corrosion can create and cause cracks in drains, sewers and pipelines. In more severe cases, these cracks can cause total collapse of the system. This can mean devastating consequences if the problem is not identified, reported and repaired as soon as possible. This may mean that excavation is necessary to carry out repairs.

In most cases, we recommend a CCTV survey beforehand to establish the condition of the pipeline.

High pressure water jetting is a specialist form of drain clearance. It is an industrial tool used to push a large stream of water – usually focused on a point inside a pipe or drain – to clear a blockage quickly and efficiently with minimal cost and damage to the surrounding area.

It is a cost effective and immediate solution for minor problems and blockages but can only be carried out by a qualified professional. Our team at Drainfix have the credentials in place.

Drainfix Services are equipped with a range of modern leak detection equipment, allowing us to pinpoint any areas of concern. A ground microphone can detect leaks and pinpoint areas for repair. Once the problem area is identified, we can then recommend the most practical and cost-effective method of repair.

If you have any questions or concerns about your water supply, drainage system or any of the topics mentioned above, feel free to give us a ring or drop us an email to discuss any issues you may have.

Yes. Every day of the year.

Yes, we can. Our excellent equipment and expert team mean we can handle almost all blockages.

We do. We offer CCTV surveys, which show you exactly what condition your drains are in. It means problems – should they exist – can be fixed before they become serious. We also offer drain jetting as a preventative measure, to help keep your drains free-flowing
