How quickly can Draincore respond?
We aim to respond quickly — often the same day. For urgent situations such as sewage overflow we prioritise getting to you as fast as possible.
Will you need to dig up my drain?
In most cases, no. The majority of blockages can be cleared using high-pressure water jetting or drain rods without any excavation. If a more serious problem is found, we'll explain your options.
What if the blockage keeps coming back?
Recurring blockages can indicate an underlying problem such as root ingress, a collapsed pipe or a build-up that needs more thorough cleaning. A CCTV drain survey can identify the root cause.
