We attended site following a blockage to an outside drain, where a build-up of tissue and debris was restricting the flow and preventing the drainage system from working as it should.
Our approach to getting things flowing again:
Blockage clearance – We cleared the blockage, removing the tissue and debris causing the obstruction.
CCTV drain inspection – Once cleared, we carried out a CCTV inspection of the gully to check its condition and look for any visible issues.
Dye testing – We then dye tested the drainage system to confirm the flow path and ensure the drain was free-flowing following our works.
With the blockage removed and the necessary checks completed, we were able to confirm that the drain was flowing freely again.
We don’t just clear the blockage and leave! We carry out the relevant checks to help ensure the drainage system is working as it should.

Blocked Drain in Fulwood, Preston, Traced to a Collapsed Internal Drain
Proud to have solved another stubborn blocked drain in Fulwood, Preston.
Our drainage engineers attended, carried out a CCTV drain survey and found the real cause: a collapsed internal drain. Clearing the blockage alone would only have been a temporary fix, so the customer got a clear diagnosis and the right solution.
Our civils team is now booked to return, excavate and repair the collapsed drain. The drain will be left flowing freely and the property looking like we were never there.
Blocked drains that keep coming back, slow-draining sinks and toilets, gurgling pipes and bad drain smells can all point to a collapsed drain or damaged drain. Finding the fault early can save time, mess and cost.

We were recently called out to a commercial property experiencing drainage problems, with water not flowing as it should.
After carrying out a drainage investigation, we located and cleared the blockage, getting the commercial drainage system flowing freely again.
But we didn’t just pack the kit away and say, “That’ll do!”
Once the blockage had been cleared, we carried out drain dye testing to make sure the water was travelling through the drainage system correctly and reaching the intended outlet.
Dye test passed
Water flowing correctly
Blockage cleared
Drainage system checked
Drain dye testing is a useful way of confirming that water is actually making its way through the system correctly. It can also help identify potential issues such as incorrect drainage connections, drain leaks or water discharging somewhere it shouldn’t.
For commercial properties, getting a blocked drain cleared is only part of the job. Making sure the drainage system is functioning properly afterwards is just as important.
Another commercial drain blockage cleared, another drainage system checked, and another commercial client able to get on with business without worrying about their drains.
Got a blocked commercial drain or ongoing commercial drainage issue? Get in touch and let us get things flowing again.

We were recently called out to a catchpit that had become completely full of silt, sludge and debris, leaving very little room for the drainage system to do its job.
A full catchpit can quickly become a problem. When the pit fills up, debris and sediment can begin making their way into the connecting pipework, restricting flow and potentially causing blocked drains, drains backing up and other unwanted drainage issues.
This one definitely needed some attention!
We got to work using a wet vac to empty and clean the catchpit, removing the accumulated material and ensuring the surrounding pipework was clear and able to flow freely.
The result? A clean catchpit and unrestricted drainage flow.
We also advised the customer that this catchpit should ideally be emptied and maintained every 3–6 months, depending on how quickly it fills.
Regular catchpit maintenance can help:
Prevent blockages
Keep pipework flowing freely
Reduce the risk of overflowing
Prevent silt and debris entering the drainage system
Avoid unexpected and potentially costly drainage problems
A little preventative drainage maintenance can go a long way when it comes to keeping your system working properly.
Don’t wait until your catchpit is overflowing to give it some attention. Keeping it regularly emptied is far easier than dealing with a blocked drainage system later on.
If you have a catchpit, interceptor, soakaway or drainage system that needs cleaning or regular maintenance, get in touch.

We were called out to another blocked drain that had been causing problems for quite some time.
The drain was extremely full and had been repeatedly struggling to cope, resulting in slow drainage, drains backing up and some seriously unpleasant drain smells!
Let’s just say… it wasn’t exactly the kind of smell you want greeting you when you walk through the door!
After carrying out a drainage investigation, we got to work clearing the blockage and removing the build-up that had accumulated within the drainage system.
Once the blocked drain was cleared, the water was flowing freely again and the unpleasant smells were finally shown the door!
Blockage cleared
Excess build-up removed
Drainage flow restored
Drainage problem investigated
Smelly drain sorted
Recurring drain blockages and bad drain smells shouldn’t be ignored. They can be signs that there’s more going on inside the pipework than just a one-off blockage.
If your drain is constantly slow, backing up, gurgling or smelling worse than it should, it’s usually better to investigate the problem before it turns into a much bigger headache.
Because blocked drains are much easier to deal with before they become a drainage emergency!
