Drain / Sewer Clearance in Conwy, Clwyd (4)

The main point to clarify here is that, in most cases for homes in the UK, unblocking sewage drains is the responsibility of your local water company. You shouldn’t need to take private measures to unblock communal sewer pipes.

Your first step should be contacting your local water company to report the issue and organise for them to come out and unblock the sewage drains. If it turns out that your private drains also need unblocking or cleaning, then you might need to get involved.

Drain cleaning is the process of using specialist equipment and materials to clear any potential obstructions from a drain, including removing the cause of any blockages and cleaning the drain pipework.

The purpose of drain cleaning is to maintain the optimum working order of all drain pipes, whether that’s through routine maintenance cleaning or unblocking a drain when a blockage or obstruction needs fixing.

Benefits of regular drain cleaning

• Regular drain cleaning increases the lifespace of your drain system and helps to maintain the structural integrity of pipework for longer

• You save money by avoiding the costs of more serious damage caused by blockages, such as having to replace pipes

Sewer drain cleaning costs

If sewers near your property need cleaning, speak to your local water company.

The costs of cleaning sewer drains should be covered by your local water company, as it’s their responsibility to maintain communal sewers and pipework.

There are a number of reasons why you could end up needing your drains unblocking and need to hire a professional drain cleaning company.

Check out this guide on the common causes of a blocked drain.

Below are some of the most common causes of blocked drains:

• Your drain pipes are too small, which causes waste and debris to build up and create a blockage

• The drains have been misused and substances, such as oil, grease, hair, soap and tissue paper, have been put down the drains and have built up to form a blocked drain

• Poor maintenance is often a cause of blocked drains, where homeowners have neglected drains and obstructions or blockages have then occurred

• Corrosion or damage to metal pipes that happens over a period of time can also lead to drain blockages

Regular drain cleaning

To keep your drains in good working order, and to avoid unnecessary blockages, it’s recommended that you organise professional drain cleaning once every couple of years. This regular maintenance will remove potential obstructions and help to avoid the build-up of materials that can cause blockages.
