Blocked Drains in Teesside

Professional Drain Unblocking Services

A blocked drain can cause significant disruption to your home or business. From unpleasant odors to slow draining sinks and overflowing toilets, the signs are often immediate and stressful. At Teesside Drainage, we specialize in rapid response drain unblocking to get your system flowing freely again.

Our network of local drainage engineers uses state-of-the-art equipment, including high-pressure water jetting and electro-mechanical cleaning tools, to remove even the most stubborn blockages. Whether it's a build-up of grease, tree root intrusion, or foreign objects, we have the solution.

Common Causes of Blocked Drains

Understanding what causes blockages can help prevent them in the future. The most frequent culprits we encounter in Teesside include:

• Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG): Pouring cooking fat down the sink is a leading cause of blockages. As it cools, it solidifies and traps other debris.
• Non-Flushable Items: Wet wipes, sanitary products, and paper towels do not break down like toilet paper and can easily clog pipes.
• Tree Roots: Roots seek out moisture and can penetrate pipe joints, causing cracks and blockages.
• Hair and Soap Scum: In bathrooms, hair and soap residue can accumulate over time, reducing water flow.
• Structural Defects: Collapsed or misaligned pipes can restrict flow and catch debris.

Our Drain Unblocking Process

When you contact us for a blocked drain, here is what you can expect:

1. Initial Assessment: Our engineer will arrive promptly and assess the situation to determine the likely cause and location of the blockage.
2. The Right Solution: Depending on the issue, we will use drain rods for simple blockages or high-pressure water jetting for more complex obstructions.
3. Clearance & Cleaning: We thoroughly clear the blockage and clean the pipe walls to prevent immediate re-occurrence.
4. Final Check: We test the flow to ensure everything is working perfectly before we leave.

Why Choose Professional Unblocking?

While DIY methods like plungers or chemical cleaners can sometimes offer a temporary fix, they often fail to address the root cause. Chemical cleaners can also damage your pipes over time. Professional unblocking ensures the blockage is completely removed and allows for an inspection of the pipe condition, potentially saving you from more expensive repairs down the line.
