How We Quickly Clear Your Blocked Drains

Resolving drainage issues efficiently requires more than just guesswork. Our proven, step-by-step approach guarantees a long-lasting solution rather than a quick fix. First, our engineers will conduct a thorough diagnostic assessment of your system. We check for common culprits like fat and grease build-up, root ingress, and compacted debris in soakaways and manholes.Once the blockage is located, we deploy state-of-the-art high-pressure water jetting equipment. Unlike traditional drain rods that often merely push blockages further down the pipe, our advanced jetting technology completely scours the pipework walls, removing all stubborn residue and electro-mechanical cleaning where necessary.Finally, every fixed-price domestic unblocking is verified with our industry-leading CCTV drain surveys. We feed a high-definition camera into your pipes to confirm the blockage is entirely cleared and to check for any hidden structural damage, giving you absolute peace of mind.

Understanding South West Water and Shared Drain Regulations

Navigating drainage responsibilities can be confusing for homeowners. Generally, you are responsible for the private drains within your property boundary up to the point they connect to the public network. However, shared lateral drains and public sewers fall under the jurisdiction of South West Water.Our knowledgeable engineers can help you identify whether a blockage sits within your private pipework or if it is a matter for the local water board. If the issue lies in a shared public sewer, we will guide you on the exact next steps, ensuring you do not pay for repairs that are not your responsibility.Furthermore, we are deeply committed to environmental compliance. Devon and Cornwall Drainage is ISO 14001 certified, meaning we adhere to strict environmental standards regarding waste disposal and pollution prevention. Whether we are clearing grease traps in a busy commercial kitchen or working carefully within the conservation areas of historic Devon and Cornwall towns, we operate safely and responsibly.

The free camera check afterwards was a great bonus. Highly recommended."

"Our kitchen sink has been slow-draining for months. After trying every chemical from the supermarket, we finally called the experts. They cleared a massive grease blockage and then used a camera to show us the pipe was clear. Professional, tidy, and very knowledgeable. A fantastic, reliable local service."

Mark P., Barnstaple

"Excellent emergency service! We had an overflowing drain outside causing a real mess. The team responded quickly, even late at night, and were incredibly professional. They got everything flowing again and cleaned up the area thoroughly. Can't thank them enough for their prompt and efficient work."

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our drain unblocking services in Devon and Cornwall

What is included in your £199 fixed-price domestic drain unblocking?

+

Our £199 fixed-price service gives you complete peace of mind. For a single fixed fee, we cover the travel to your home, the high-pressure water jetting to remove the blockage, and a free CCTV drain inspection afterwards. We use the camera to double-check the pipe is totally clear and to look for any hidden damage. You pay no separate call-out fee.

Do I need a CCTV drain survey?

+

A camera survey takes the guesswork out of drainage problems. If you suffer from repeated blockages, notice damp patches, or plan to buy a new property, a survey is a smart move. We feed a small camera into the pipes to spot root ingress, collapsed sections, or heavy fat and grease build-up. We then give you a clear video and a simple report explaining the health of your drains.

What causes most blocked drains in Devon and Cornwall?

+

Most blockages come down to what goes down the plug hole. Fat, oil, and grease poured down kitchen sinks harden in the pipes. In bathrooms, wet wipes and heavy paper cause major backups. In older properties across historic towns, we frequently see tree roots breaking into the pipes looking for water. Autumn leaves blocking external gullies and heavy winter rainfall flooding soakaways are also very common seasonal issues.

Is water jetting safe for my older pipes?

+

Yes, it is highly safe when handled by trained professionals. Our engineers hold Water Jetting Association (WJA) certification. We adjust the water pressure to match the condition and material of your pipes. Water jetting strips away stubborn scale and fat far more effectively than traditional drain rods, leaving your pipes clean without causing structural harm.

Do you provide commercial drainage services?

+

We absolutely do. We work with restaurants, hotels, retail units, and industrial sites across the region. A blocked drain stops a business in its tracks. We handle everything from clearing grease traps to routine maintenance and emergency flood response. Our team works discreetly to keep your business running smoothly.

How do I know if the blocked drain is my responsibility or South West Water's?

+

As a general rule, you are responsible for any drain that serves only your property and sits within your boundary line. Once your pipe joins a pipe carrying waste from a neighbour's property, it becomes a shared lateral drain. South West Water takes responsibility for shared drains and the main public sewers. If we attend a job and discover the blockage sits in South West Water's network, we tell you straight away.
