Drain Cleaning Services

To prevent hair, food particles and other debris from entering the drain you can use strainers or stoppers. Another way is to avoid pouring FOGs (fats, oils and grease) down the drain after cooking or during the washing-up process, as these types of contaminants can damage drainage and sewer systems and cause blockages.

However, the best way to keep your drains clean is to hire professionals here at Cotswold Drainage with our expert drain cleaning and drain jetting services.

To clean your drainpipes, you can use your hand (but protect your skin by wearing a glove) or a small brush to remove any visible contaminants and discard them properly. Additionally, you can use a plunger to create suction to dislodge any clogs and blockages.

We always advise you to seek help from professional drain and pipe cleaners like Cotswold Drainage.

You can use a garden hose with a high-pressure nozzle attachment to flush out the drain by directing the water down the drain clearing any accumulated dirt and allowing the drain to flow freely. 

For more serious issues relating to outside drainage systems, Cotswold Drainage is equipped with high-powered jet systems that can clear numerous build-ups from your outside drains with ease. 

To clean odorous drains, follow these instructions:

1. Pour down the drain a mixture of vinegar and baking soda and let the mixture remain for 15 to 30 minutes to allow any organic contaminants or bacteria contributing to the smell to decompose.
2. To remove the vinegar and baking soda mixture from the drain, run hot water through it.
3. You can also try pouring a solution of hot water and lemon juice down the drain if the smell doesn’t dissipate.
4. These solutions can be performed frequently, around once a week, to keep your drains smelling nice and fresh.
   Some contaminants may require more expert solutions to eradicate bad smells. Both commercial and domestic properties can benefit from our drain cleaning services to remove foul odours safely.

To effectively clean a shower drain, you must first remove the shower drain cover if possible, by either lifting it off or removing it by unwinding the screws with a screwdriver. Next, grab a flashlight or torch of some kind and check for any visible hair or debris near the opening. Hair is one of the most common causes of blocked shower drains, which can be removed by hand or a strong brush. If there is a visible blockage, you can even use a wire hanger to remove it.

If you are unable to locate the blockage or if it is further down in your shower drain, then do not hesitate to contact us here at Cotswold Drainage.

 Maintenance is an important factor as badly maintained drains can lead to blockages, bad odours, and clogs so, taking care of your drains will prevent any future issues from arising and keep your water flowing smoothly.
