    Great communication, fair price

    Posted 22 January

    I contacted Detection drain services on a recommendation to get a second opinion on a problem we had! Dale was super helpful and spent time going over another companies tricky report in order to quote for the work. We’d become aware of a redundant pipe which was causing smells under an extension and Dale recommended and fitted a patch liner. He was on time, efficient, tidy and explained everything that was being done, making sure we understood the risks involved. It all went well and the work carried out for a fair price! Dale was great at talking us through every step!

    Highly recommended

    Posted 01 October 2025

    Dale was very responsive, very communicative in resolving a blocked drain at my disabled brothers house. The communication was very important to me as I was remote from the property. I would highly recommend the service provided and thought the invoice was very fair and happy to pay it by return. Thank you to Dale and Detection Drain Services.

    Dale was very helpful in investigating a sewer blockage and identifying the problem. He came up with helpful suggestions. He was even able to download a copy of the video for me.
