Pro Drain: 24/7 Drain Problem Response with NO Call Out Charges!
A problem with your drainage system is obvious in the form of a blocked toilet or over-spilling manhole chamber. However, there are many other signs that something is not quite right and is not the result of a build up of encrustations or debris within an underground pipe. You may notice drain smells within your property, sink and toilet traps emptying due to siphoning. Rats and insect infestations are also signs that something is not quite right within your properties drainage system and should be checked out.
Drain related property damage in London like rising damp issues, a crack appearing on a property wall or some external surfacing has become damaged or dropped are also signs that a damaged drain is leaking causing subsidence and ground movement. These are the experiences of our clients which prompt us to carry out a professional drainage system investigation using our many years of experience and CCTV pipeline surveying equipment.
Our investigations are undertaken applying our industry know-how of firstly recognising the issues and meticulously assessing all of the possible causes within a drainage system that we have previously dealt with and fixed for good. We then back up our professional opinion with technology by gathering evidence with the use of our drain inspection equipment so that when we present our findings and diagnosis within a detailed WRc approved drain survey report the property owner is assured our thorough investigation was a successful first step of solving the drain problem.
Not only do Pro-Drain efficiently investigate a problem drain, we will provide a guaranteed diagnosis, plan of action and a cost effective drain repair quotation to resolve any faults identified to be causing the problems, We are a complete London drain company who are competent in identifying the cause of any problematic drainage situation but also certified in planning and undertaking the necessary broken pipe repairs, collapsed drain replacements or alterations with new drainage installations to an existing drainage system that will solve our residential or commercial clients issue.
Common tell-tale signs of a problem drain and some of our diagnosis include: A whiff of sewage or “intimitant drain smells” within a property can be simply caused by a lack of an air admittance valve on an internal stack pipe or the requirement to replace such a valve. We have also uncovered internal stack pipes with open ends hidden behind stud walls to be the source of foul odours. It is also a common occurrence to find shower, kitchen sink and washing machine waste water pipes to be installed without a trap which allows drain gases to vent. Incorrectly capped off redundant and disused drains can cause drain smells and allow waste water to leak to ground also posing the risk of sewer rats entering spaces beneath and around a property. Buried manholes beneath raised extension floors and the incorrect type of internal inspection covers have also on numerous occasions been found to be the source of such problems.
Rising damp or cracks appearing on internal and external walls can be drain problem related and is something we investigate on a regular basis to either confirm it is the manifestation of a problem due to broken and leaking drains or to rule out a link to the drainage system for a structural surveyor or property owner. When we have confirmed that drainage system damage is causing superficial or structural problems for your property with a drain survey the fault is usually an open pipe joint or broken drain allowing waste water to run to ground which in turn leads to the saturation of the ground beneath or around structural foundations washing away soil resulting in cavities and ground movement.
Leaking drains that are a result of open drain pipe joints or cracks and fractures can be restored and sealed with the installation of drain linings or patch linings without the need to excavate. Severely damaged drains for example those where sections of pipe are missing or partially collapsed with a loss of diameter are not suitable for relining and will need to be excavated and replaced by our drain installers. The earlier a problem within a drain is identified however, the more cost effective drain repair options are available so our advice is to deal with a drain problem at the earliest opportunity.
Before you close the deal on your dream property or investment a home buyer or commercial property pre-purchase drain survey check is vital to avoid any potential inconvenience or financial loss due to an underlying drain problem within the system serving the property. Always check the drains within your due diligence because repairs or replacements can cost thousands of pounds not to mention any additional problem drain related property damage costs.

With a recurring blocked drain problem we encounter numerous situations where clients have repeatedly gone through the disruption and expense of having to call out various contractors to clear a particular drain suffering from constant blocking, without ever being offered some form of guaranteed diagnosis of the cause or a longterm solution to fix the problem once and for all.
We particularly enjoy these investigations for the chance to reassure property owners that all drainage contractors are not the same and there are many good drainage engineers within the industry who operate with total professionalism and code of ethics. We have solved the recurring blocked drain problems presented to us by firstly clearing the blockage and then using our drain inspection equipment to see exactly what is happening within the pipe to identify the cause for example a misplaced joint or in some instances advise our customers of a usage issue for example disposing of wet wipes into the system or pouring cooking oils into the kitchen sink.
Over the years we have identified the cause of blocked drain problems in London to be caused by lost drain rods, concrete wash, dropped sections of drain, deformed sections of pipe work and insufficient gradient just to name a few without mentioning the foreign objects we have also found to be lodged within underground drains. No matter the issue or cause we find it and fix it.
Business premises especially can not afford the adverse impact of blocked drains, drain smells and property damage that drain problems bring. A drain problem for London businesses may result in temporary closure with a loss of income or bad experiences for their customers. With a scheduled drain maintenance cleaning service and condition check the build up of encrustations that can cause blockages are thoroughly removed and routine CCTV drain inspection ensures that any faults or damage does not worsen and repairs are undertaken in a preemptive manner with minimal disruption out of operating hours.
Although a covered or buried manhole chamber in London may not be causing a pressing issue for your property right now, in the event of an emergency blocked drain occurrence that lack of access to the underground drainage system can be very problematic and prolong the situation resulting in a higher cost to eventually clear a blockage furthermore the fact that your drainage system can not be routinely inspected via the inspection cover from time to time means the first sign of a problem down there will likely be a blockage or possibly drainage related property damage. We are experts in locating and raising buried manholes with our Drain Survey service and then making them permanently accessible at surface level.
