Blocked Drains in Preston

What's usually behind it in Preston

Interwar homes in Preston usually have clay sewer lines with mortar joints, and mature street trees send roots straight into them.

Slow drains rarely fix themselves. We find the cause with a drain camera, clear it with a high-pressure jetter, and show you the footage so you know whether it's a one-off or a pipe that needs repair. For Preston customers, that usually means same-day service.

Much of Preston was built between the wars and in the 1950s, so earthenware sewers and ageing copper lines are common.

FAQ

Blocked Drains in Preston: common questions

Will you need to dig up my yard?

Usually not. Most blockages are cleared with a jetter through an existing access point. We only recommend digging if the camera shows a collapsed pipe.

Why does my drain keep blocking?

Recurring blockages in Preston are usually tree roots or a dipped section of pipe. A camera inspection tells us which.

Can I see the camera footage?

Yes. We show you on screen and can send you the recording.

Who pays if the blockage is in the street?

If the blockage is in the water authority's sewer main, they are responsible. We can confirm where it is and help you report it.
