Why Hire a Drainage Engineer to Unblock Your Drains?

A blocked drain is a frustrating inconvenience for any homeowner. However, if you notice that your drains are blocked, the worst thing you can do is attempt to remove the blockage yourself without the necessary training and equipment.

The leading drainage contractors in your area are specially trained to safely and effectively remove any blockages and debris from your drains. So, if you're troubled by blocked drains, or indeed any drainage issue, your best option is to call in the experts.

Here are just a few reasons why when it comes to unblocking drains, drainage engineers are your best friends:

Minimally Invasive
While the "DIY" approach to drain unblocking often involves tackling the blockage "blind", reputable drainage engineers will use more cautious methods. Drainage engineers often conduct CCTV drainage surveys prior to unblocking, which allows them to identify any pipes, fittings or fixtures in the vicinity. Working around these will help the engineers avoid causing unnecessary and costly damage whilst unblocking your drains!

Some matters are best left to the experts. Just think, if you attempted to clear your drains, but inadvertently burst a pipe or damaged a fitting in the process, you could be left with an eye-watering repair bill for the sake of trying to save a few pounds!

Trained and Qualified
Professional drainage engineers have received extensive training in the safe removal of drain blockages, handling waste materials and the cleaning and maintenance of drains.

When choosing a drainage contractor, you should make sure that they have industry recognised accreditations awarded by bodies such as the Environment Agency or the National Association of Drainage Contractors. These accreditations are only awarded to contractors following best industry practices and upholding the highest standards in service, workmanship and safety.

Fast and Reliable
Drain blockages can create a hindrance for anyone, so it's understandable that you want them to be resolved as quickly as possible. Most drainage contractors offer a fast callout service, to keep delays to a minimum and some even offer 24-hour callouts for those drain emergencies that can't wait.

Competitively Priced
Aside from providing a professional, reliable service, leading drainage contractors also offer competitive rates. Having your drain unblocked by your local contractor costs less than you may think and you'll also have the assurance that the work is being carried out by time-served drainage engineers.
