Our team of experts will ensure your septic tank is installed perfectly. This will help to prevent property damage, and ensures adherence to local regulations.

We offer a comprehensive range of services for every type of septic tank and sewage treatment plant. From regular scheduled emptying and maintenance to complete replacements and upgrades.

  • Sewage Treatment Plants

    Sewage Treatment Plants

    More environmentally friendly than septic tanks, sewage treatment plants separate liquid and solid waste. They are also a legal requirement for many homes instead of septic tanks. We install, maintain, empty and clean sewage treatment plants across the West Midlands.

  • Septic Tank Emptying

    Proper care of your septic tank is crucial to avoid unexpected and potentially expensive problems. Regularly emptying your septic tank ensures your system is running smoothly and protects your property from unpleasant surprises.

    Septic Tank Repairs

    When your septic tank system breaks, it’s not just a nuisance. It’s a potential threat to your home, health, and the environment. Whether it's a blockage, overflow, or leak, professional help ensures the job gets done right.

    Septic Tank Repairs

Choosing the Right Septic Tank System

Selecting the appropriate septic tank system can significantly impact the efficiency and longevity of your installation. Two common choices are sewage treatment plants and traditional septic tanks.

Sewage treatment plants are sophisticated systems that treat effluent to a higher standard before releasing it into the environment, making them suitable for areas with stringent environmental rules.

On the other hand, traditional septic tanks are the most common choice and work by separating solids and scum from wastewater. They are generally affordable, easier to install, and require less maintenance, making them ideal for most homeowners.

However, you should weigh the pros and cons of each system. Sewage treatment plants, while more efficient, are more expensive and complex to install. Traditional tanks might be the simpler choice, but they need more frequent emptying and might not meet certain environmental standards without additional components like a soakaway system.

Choosing the Right Septic Tank System

Professional Septic Tank Installation

While some might be tempted to tackle septic tank installation on their own, there are compelling reasons to hire professionals. This critical home project requires a combination of technical knowledge, specialised equipment, and experience.

One of the primary benefits of professional installation is the guarantee of proper techniques. We will ensure your septic tank is correctly installed, reducing the risk of leakage or system failure. Without this expertise, you may face recurrent issues that could lead to costly repairs and potential health hazards.

We will also minimise the risk of property damage during installation. We have the necessary equipment and skills to execute the job efficiently, ensuring that your landscape is preserved. Attempting to install a septic tank without this expertise could result in significant damage to your property, both above and below ground.

Importantly, we have a deep understanding of local regulations. We will ensure your installation is fully compliant, avoiding legal issues down the road. Failing to meet these regulations can lead to hefty fines and the need to redo the installation - costs and headaches that are easily avoided by working with us.

Septic Tank Installation Process

The first step in the installation process is site preparation and excavation. Our surveyors will come to your property to mark the exact location for the tank based on the previously discussed regulations and permits. This step ensures the tank is positioned at the optimal distance from your home, water sources, and property boundaries.

Next, excavators dig a pit to the required depth and size. The dimensions depend on the type and size of the septic tank you’ve chosen. During excavation, soil conditions can significantly affect the time and complexity of the task. Hard, rocky soil will take longer and require more effort to excavate than soft, loamy soil.

To protect your property during this phase, temporary landscaping measures are often implemented. This could involve creating barriers to prevent soil erosion or damage to surrounding plants. These precautions ensure your property remains in good condition throughout the installation process.

Discussing requirements

Once the site is prepared and the hole is excavated, the actual installation can begin. The septic tank is carefully lowered into the pit, ensuring it’s level and correctly positioned. Proper positioning is crucial for the system to function efficiently and avoid any future issues.

After the tank is in place, we will connect it to your home’s plumbing. This step involves laying pipes from your house to the septic tank and from the tank to the drain field or additional treatment components. The connections must be leak-proof to prevent any groundwater contamination and ensure the system operates flawlessly.

Finally, the system is thoroughly inspected to confirm everything is in working order. This inspection includes checking for leaks, ensuring that all connections are secure and verifying that the tank is properly positioned and level. Any issues identified at this stage are addressed before finishing the installation.

Lowering septic tank into the pit

Once the installation is complete, the finishing touches begin. This involves backfilling the pit with soil and making sure the area is restored to its original condition. The goal is to blend the installation seamlessly into your landscape, making it appear as though no major excavation took place.

We will also provide you with maintenance guidelines to ensure the longevity and efficiency of your new septic system. Regular maintenance, such as periodic pumping and inspections, is critical to preventing issues down the line and keeping your system in top-notch condition.

Signs of a Faulty Septic Tank

Recognising the symptoms of a failing septic tank early on can save you from repairs and unpleasant living conditions. Here are the tell-tale signs to watch out for:

Unpleasant Odours

One of the most obvious signs is a strong, foul smell around the septic tank area or drain field. This usually indicates that the waste isn't breaking down properly. If so, this needs immediate professional intervention.

Slow Drains

Ever noticed your sinks and toilets draining slower than usual? This could signal a problem with your septic system. Slow drains often mean that there's a blockage or the tank is near capacity. We can diagnose and resolve these issues quickly.

Slow drains

Lush Grass

While green, lush grass might seem appealing, it could be a red flag if it’s concentrated around your drain field. This unusual growth suggests that your septic tank is leaking, enriching the soil with nutrients meant to stay confined.

Standing Water

Pools of water in your garden, particularly near the septic tank, are never a good sign. Standing water indicates that your system is failing and unable to handle wastewater properly, requiring immediate expert attention.

Gurgling Sounds

Strange gurgling noises emanating from your plumbing can indicate a faulty septic tank. This often means there’s a backup in the system, and without prompt repair, it could lead to more significant issues.

Common Septic Tank Issues

Septic tanks play a vital role in managing home waste, but they aren't without issues. Knowing what to look for and how professionals tackle them can save you from a world of headache.

Septic Tank Blockages

Typically, blockages occur when solid waste and grease accumulate, obstructing the drainage systems. These blockages can cause backups in your sinks, toilets, and drains. We use high-pressure water jetting tools to clear these blockages effectively, ensuring your system runs smoothly again.

Overflowing Septic Tanks

Overflowing tanks are usually the result of excessive water usage or a poorly designed system. When a tank overflows, untreated waste can seep into your garden, causing environmental and health risks.

Septic tank cleaning

Damaged Pipes

Cracked or broken pipes pose significant issues, leading to leaks and system inefficiencies. Pipe damage often necessitates digging up the affected area, replacing the damaged pipe sections, and ensuring the entire system is leak-free.

Tree Roots

Tree roots can be a major nuisance, infiltrating and blocking septic systems. We can locate the root intrusion points using advanced cameras and remove the roots with specialised cutting tools. We might also recommend relocating trees or installing root barriers to prevent future problems.

Tank Leaks

Leaky tanks can cause hazardous waste to seep into the ground, posing environmental threats and property damage. We use durable sealing materials and techniques to patch up leaks, restoring the integrity of your septic tank system.

Why Should You Regularly Empty Septic Tanks?

Proper care of your septic tank is crucial to avoid unexpected and potentially expensive problems. Regularly emptying your septic tank ensures your system is running smoothly and protects your property from unpleasant surprises.

When a tank gets too full, it can't properly filter the waste, leading to blockages and backups. These failures often result in extensive and costly repairs, which can easily be avoided with timely emptying of your septic tank.

Preventative care is another advantage of regular emptying. By keeping up with scheduled maintenance, you're ensuring a longer lifespan for your septic tank. Just like any other home system, proactive care can save money and stress down the line. It means fewer emergency calls and no unexpected repairs.

Routine inspections during emptying reveal potential issues before they become costly mishaps. Our experienced technicians can spot minor concerns and address them promptly, saving you from larger problems in the future. It's always better to catch a problem early than to deal with the aftermath of a significant failure.

In addition, proper emptying plays a significant role in maintaining a healthy environment. A well-maintained septic system ensures that waste is processed correctly and doesn't contaminate local water sources, keeping your surroundings safe and clean.

The Process of Septic Tank Emptying

The initial inspection is the first critical step. Our technicians will conduct a thorough check of your septic system to assess its condition and identify any immediate issues. This comprehensive inspection allows them to tailor their approach to your specific needs.

Professional equipment is then used to ensure efficient waste removal. High-quality pumps and hoses make the process quick and effective, minimising disruption to your property. This equipment can handle large volumes of waste, ensuring your tank is emptied properly.

Our certified technicians not only remove the waste but also dispose of it responsibly. They follow all local regulations to ensure that waste is disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. This commitment to responsible disposal helps maintain local water quality and protects the environment.

Routine services often include cleaning and minor repairs. During the emptying process, technicians clean the inside of your tank to remove any build-ups that could cause problems later. They also check for minor issues and can make necessary repairs on the spot, preventing these minor issues from turning into major headaches.

After the service, you’ll receive documentation and recommendations. Our team can provide a report detailing any findings and what actions they took. They might also suggest a maintenance schedule to keep your system in top shape. This documentation can be invaluable for future reference and any potential issues.

Factors Affecting the Cost of Septic Tank Emptying

Understanding the factors that impact the cost of septic tank emptying can help you budget more effectively. Several elements can influence the final price for these essential services.

Tank size plays a significant role in determining the overall cost. Larger tanks require more time and resources to empty, making the service more expensive. Knowing the size of your tank can help you get a more accurate estimate from service providers.

The frequency of emptying services also impacts expenses. Regular maintenance contracts might cost less per visit compared to one-off services. Investing in routine maintenance can not only spread out the costs but also prevent more significant, more expensive issues in the future.

Accessibility of the septic tank can change the pricing. If your tank is difficult to reach, it may require more effort and time to service. This can lead to higher costs. Ensuring easy access to your tank and clearing any obstacles beforehand might help reduce service fees.

Additional treatments or repairs may increase the cost as well. During routine maintenance, we might find issues that need immediate attention. While these additional services may incur minor increased costs, they are essential for keeping your system running efficiently.

What is drain jetting?

Drain jetting is a highly effective method that uses high-pressure water jetting to clear blocked drains. This technique targets and removes obstructions with unparalleled efficiency. Technicians insert a flexible hose into the drain. This blasts water at high pressure through the pipe, dislodging debris and clearing the blockage.

We often employ drain jetting for stubborn issues that other methods can't resolve. The high-pressure water jetting scours the insides of pipes, eliminating not just the blockage but also the built-up grime that causes slow drainage. From food debris in kitchen sinks to tree roots in large drainage systems, jetting handles it all.

Homeowners and business owners who face recurring blockages frequently turn to jetting. Unlike drain rods, which may push the debris further down, drain jetting ensures a thorough cleaning, maintaining a clear and efficient drainage system.

Regular drain maintenance using this method can prevent severe blockages, reducing the risk of costly repairs in the future.

Drain unblocking process

How does drain jetting work?

The process of drain jetting is straightforward yet incredibly effective. Technicians begin by inserting a flexible hose into the blocked drain. This hose is equipped with specialised nozzles designed to eject water at extremely high pressures, aimed specifically to tackle blocked drains.

The high-pressure water dislodges any debris clinging to the inner walls of the pipe, effectively flushing it out. This technique not only clears the blockage but also scours away any built-up grime, restoring the pipe to its optimal flow capacity.

The range of nozzles used allows the hose to navigate bends and reach deep into the drainage system, ensuring a comprehensive clean. Our skilled team make sure the procedure is carried out quickly and effectively, minimising disruption to your home or business.

Additionally, this method eliminates the need for harsh chemical cleaners, making it a more environmentally friendly choice. With the backing of experienced professionals, you can be confident that the job will be done right the first time.

Drain unblocking process

Benefits of drain jetting

Drain jetting offers numerous advantages, making it a preferred choice for many property owners. One of the most significant benefits is its effectiveness in removing stubborn blockages that other methods struggle with.

By completely clearing the pipes, high-pressure water jetting helps prevent future blockages, saving you the hassle and expense of recurrent issues. This method is not only efficient but also kind to the environment, as it relies solely on water rather than harmful chemicals.

For homeowners, regular drain jetting can lead to significant cost savings by avoiding repeated blockages and the repairs they necessitate. Business owners benefit from uninterrupted operations and avoiding downtime due to drainage issues.

The increased cleanliness of the drainage system contributes to a healthy environment, reducing the risk of unpleasant odours and potential health hazards.

Regular Drain Jetting for Preventative Maintenance

Routine maintenance is crucial for preventing severe drainage issues, and regular drain jetting plays a significant role in this. By keeping your drainage system clear of obstructions, you can stave off potential blockages that could lead to costly repairs.

Preventative maintenance helps protect your property investment. Regular services ensure that your drains remain in good condition, reducing the likelihood of sudden, unexpected problems. For businesses, this means avoiding downtime and maintaining smooth operations.

Scheduled drain jetting promotes long-term health for your drainage system. It ensures that your pipes remain free from build-up and blockages, leading to fewer disruptions and longer-lasting infrastructure. Regular maintenance also allows for early detection of potential issues, enabling timely intervention before they escalate.

High pressure water jetting vs. drain rods

When it comes to clearing blocked drains, high-pressure water jetting has several advantages over traditional methods. For starters, it clears blockages much faster, thanks to the powerful water jets that can dislodge and remove debris quickly.

Unlike traditional methods such as drain rods or snakes, high-pressure water jetting provides a deeper clean. Traditional methods can leave behind residue, which can cause re-blockages. The high-pressure water not only clears the current blockage but also cleans the walls of the pipe, preventing future problems.

Furthermore, water jetting is less intrusive compared to methods that might involve digging or other disruptive activities. It's also more environmentally friendly, as it doesn't rely on chemical cleaners. This makes it a preferred choice for eco-conscious property owners.

Overall, high-pressure water jetting offers more lasting results, providing peace of mind knowing your drains are thoroughly cleaned and maintained.

What causes a blocked drain?

Without proper care and maintenance, drains both inside and outside can easily become blocked. Fortunately, the most prevalent reasons are also simple to avoid and control with the help of our experts.

Hair is one of the most frequent obstructions in bathroom drains. It is simple to prevent this by utilising a hair catcher. Similar to guarding the plug holes in your kitchen sink, you may stop food scraps from going down your drains and clogging your pipes by doing the same. These items are the most common causes of blockages we find during our domestic drain unblocking services.

In addition, flushing non-flushable items, such as sanitary towels, makeup wipes and nappies can cause toilets to clog up and begin to overflow. It is vitally important that you avoid flushing these items down your toilet.

Drain unblocking process drain unblocking services

Indeed, while blockages caused by these items can be easily avoided, another common reason people require drainage unblocking services is from FOGs (fats, oils and greases) being poured down kitchen sinks. These can cause serious issues with drainage systems, therefore it’s crucial to keep in mind that used oil should never be poured down the drain.

Unfortunately, some elements, such as ageing, wear and weather conditions, as well as improper installation are more difficult to manage. The need to seek professional drainage unblocking services, to help solve the issue as soon as possible cannot be stressed enough. If you believe that your pipes have moved because of soil movement or that they have started to corrode over time, make sure to contact our team here at Cotswold Drainage.

Take care of your blocked drains: How to prevent drain blockages?

A plumbing system must be kept healthy and running in order to avoid blocked drains. One of the best ways to prevent drain blockages is to use drain screens or drain stoppers on top of your plugholes. These will catch food, hair and other contaminants that can damage your drains and cause serious blockages before they can enter your drains.

In fact, it’s crucial to properly dispose of your waste if you want to keep your indoor drains safe. Always be mindful of what you are flushing down your toilet and into your drains. Therefore, it’s best to avoid flushing non-biodegradable items as well as FOGs which will help to ensure your system runs freely.

Regular cleaning is still one of the greatest strategies to prevent blocked drains in addition to the aforementioned safety measures. The most ideal treatments are those that are natural, such as baking powder and vinegar, because they won’t induce corrosion like some popular commercial solutions. To perform routine cleaning and maintenance, you can trust our drain unblocking services which include professional drain cleaning.

However, for drains that are located outside, other factors and elements are the root cause of many blockages. Make sure to observe any trees or plants that are close to your pipes since if they are damaged or obstructed, they may go unnoticed. Anytime you have a feeling that something could be off, call us right away for commercial and domestic drain unblocking to prevent a minor problem from developing into a major one.

Drain Unblocking FAQs

  • How can I clear my blocked drain?

    To clear blocked outside drains, it ultimately depends on where the blockage is located and what caused it. The way to go about unblocking your drains will depend on whether you are dealing with an indoor drain or an outdoor drain.

They have all the necessary equipment at hand and also have the knowledge and expertise to rid you of your blockages for good, without you having to take on any unnecessary health and safety risks.

When this happens, it is essential to clear your drains as soon as possible to prevent potentially serious damage to your property and ensure adequate drainage.

    Discover how to clean your blocked drains by checking out our detailed guide, '10 quick tips for cleaning blocked drains'.

  • What’s the best solution for a blocked drain?

  • Who is responsible for blocked drains?

    Homeowners and business owners are typically responsible for maintaining the drains and plumbing within their property boundaries. This includes sinks, toilets and showers within the home, as well as outdoor pipes and drainage systems within their property limits.

    Meanwhile, local councils are responsible for maintaining public drains and sewerage systems, including those located on the street directly outside your property. Utility companies may also be responsible for maintaining any drains and sewer systems connected to their water-supply or sewage-treatment plants.

    If you’re not sure who is responsible for fixing a blocked drain, it’s always best to consult a licensed plumber or contact your local council or utility company for guidance. It’s important to address blocked drains quickly to prevent further damage and potential health hazards.

  • How can I stop leaves from blocking my drains?

    Leaves are a common cause of outdoor drain blockages, especially during the autumn months. Nevertheless, there are several simple steps you can take to prevent leaves from blocking your outdoor drains.

    1. Clean your gutters regularly. If your gutters become clogged with leaves or debris, the water they collect can overflow and pool around your property foundations, potentially resulting in serious damage. Cleaning your gutters regularly can help to prevent this from happening.
    2. Install gutter guards. Typically made of mesh, gutter guards can be placed over your outdoor gutters to prevent leaves and debris from getting into them in the first place. Water can still flow through the gaps allowing your drains to function as intended, but leaves, twigs and other debris won’t be able to cause any issues.
    3. Do some gardening. Regularly raking the leaves in the garden reduces the likelihood of them ending up in your gutters. Trimming any trees or shrubs growing close to your property can also help to prevent root ingress in drains as well as leaves, twigs and branches from dropping into your drains.
    4. Install leaf catchers: Leaf catchers are mesh-like screens or baskets that fit over the top of your downspouts and other drains. They catch any leaves and debris before they can enter your drain to cause a blockage.
    5. Call in the professionals: Even the most conscientious property owners will struggle to keep nature at bay. Leaves and debris will still inevitably make their way into your drains at some point but calling in the professionals and taking advantage of their expert drain clearing service can help to prevent this minor issue from becoming a serious problem.

    Worried about leaves in your guttering or drains? At Cotswold Drainage, all of our teams are equipped with a high-power jetwash system to clear any blockages thoroughly, with an almost immediate effect.

  • Why does my outside drain keep blocking?

    There are several reasons why your outside drain may keep blocking. The most common cause is the accumulation of debris, like leaves, twigs and dirt. The good news is that this is also incredibly easy to remove, either by hand or using a high-powered jet system.

    Nevertheless, if a poorly designed drainage system is the cause, you may need to call in the professionals. Repositioning your drains can help to ensure that water is draining properly, as can diagnosing and treating any root ingress problems.

    If your outdoor pipes have suffered any structural damage, either caused by age, the weather or other external factors, this can also lead to frequent blockages. In such cases, it’s best to consult a licensed drain-unblocking company like Cotswold Drainage to deal with the root cause of the problem.

  • Who is responsible for an external drain blockage?

    The homeowner is responsible for unblocking any drains within your property boundary such as, beneath your house, garden, and driveway. These are classed as private drains. Any drains which do not share pipes with your neighbours are your responsibility to unblock.

  • How do I know if my drains are blocked?

    The telltale signs of a blocked drain are :

    • Gurgling sink
    • Backing up in the toilet
    • Overflowing manhole

    If you notice any of these things then give us a call and we'll be able to assist.

  • I'm not sure if the blockage is coming from my property, is there any way to find out?

    If you’re not sure if the blockage is on your property then there are a couple of things you can do. The first is to check a neighbouring manhole to see if this is full. If it is, then there’s a very high chance that the blockage is the responsibility of the local water authority.

    If this is the case then give them a call and they will come deal with the blockage free of charge. If you’re still unsure then simply give us a call on 01386 882324 and we can assist.

What you need to know about the

General Binding Rules 2020

The UK General Binding Rules 2020 (GBR 2020) is a set of regulations that came into effect on 1st January 2020, which apply to anyone who owns, operates, or uses a septic tank or small sewage treatment plant (STP) in England. These rules are designed to protect the environment and human health by ensuring that domestic wastewater is treated and disposed of safely and effectively. What are the implications of the GBR 2020 for septic tanks and why are treatment plants a better alternative?

A Cotswold Drainage van ready to fix some blocked drains

Implications of the GBR 2020 for Septic Tanks

The GBR 2020 requires all old tanks that discharge into surface water to be upgraded or undergo a septic tank conversion by 1st January 2020 or when the property is sold, whichever is sooner. Septic tanks that discharge into the ground are exempt from this requirement but must still comply with the general binding rules. These rules include:

  1. Septic tanks must be installed and operated in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Septic tanks must be maintained and emptied regularly to prevent overflowing or pollution.
  3. Septic tanks must not discharge into a watercourse, unless it meets the relevant environmental standards.

Septic tanks can be effective at treating domestic wastewater, but they have limitations. They only provide primary treatment, which means that the wastewater is only partially treated before it is discharged. This can result in the pollution of the environment and cause harm to human health. Furthermore, septic tanks require regular maintenance and emptying, which can be expensive and inconvenient.

Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3k0Jdh3JweI

Why Treatment Plants are a Better Alternative

Sewage treatment plants are a better alternative to septic tanks because they provide more effective treatment of domestic wastewater. They use a combination of mechanical, biological, and chemical processes to treat wastewater to a higher standard than a septic tank. The treated water can then be safely discharged into the environment, meeting the relevant environmental standards.

Treatment plants are also more flexible than septic tanks. They can be installed in a wider range of locations, including areas with high water tables, and can be adapted to suit the specific needs of a property. Furthermore, septic tank maintenance is required more often making treatment plants a more cost-effective waste solution.

Drain unblocking process

The UK General Binding Rules 2020 have implications for anyone who owns, operates, or uses a septic tank or small sewage treatment plant.

Septic tanks that discharge into surface water must be upgraded or replaced by a sewage treatment plant to comply with the rules.

Treatment plants are a better alternative to septic tanks because they provide more effective treatment of domestic wastewater and require less maintenance.

If you have any questions about the GBR 2020 or the installation of a sewage treatment plant, please contact our friendly team today.

New rules governing the use of septic tanks and small sewage treatment plants went into effect in January 2020. This applies to everyone in England who owns, runs or oversees such systems. The GBR 2020 was established to reduce the potential risk that septic tanks have on the environment and our health. While there are minor exemptions for septic tanks that discharge into the ground over those that discharge into surface water, there are still three main requirements that must be followed to comply with new laws.

  • Installation - All septic tanks within England are required to be installed as set out in the instructions provided by the manufacturer.
  • Maintenance – Septic tanks must be frequently serviced to prevent environmental pollution.
  • Waste - The waste must only be discharged into watercourses if it is treated to environmental regulations.

  • How to clear blocked drains in Warwick

    The way you should go about clearing your blocked drains in Warwick will ultimately depend on how bad the problem is and where the issue is located. Whilst we always recommend contacting the professionals whenever you can, at any stage of your blocked drains disaster, we understand that you might like to try to tackle simpler issues by yourself.

    If it’s your outside drains that are blocked and things haven’t progressed quite as far as stagnant water or flooding, there’s a chance you may be able to clear your Warwick drains yourself. Simply pop on a pair of rubber gloves, grab a bucket and a pair of goggles and be prepared to scoop up any leaves or debris that may have built up on top of your drain cover.

    The braver among you may also wish to gently lift up the drain cover to pull out any superficial blockages. You may need a screwdriver to do this and as a general rule, you should never go in past your elbow.

    At this point, if your outdoor drains are still blocked, you will need to call in the experts. You should call us immediately if you notice any foul smells, flooding or pools of water, as this can be indicative of a more serious problem. Even if you don’t think it could affect the inside of your property, it’s important to get it checked out, as it’s your responsibility as a homeowner to clear any blocked outdoor drains within the boundaries of your Warwick property.

    For blocked indoor drains in Warwick, you may want to try scooping up any hair or food that may have accumulated on top of your plug, wipe your sink or bath area with a grease-fighting product and try to dissolve more persistent blockages using commercial cleaning products or a combination of hot water, bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. If smells, flooding or slow draining water persist, however, we highly recommend contacting us to benefit from our Warwick drain services, including drain cleaning and drain unblocking in Warwick.

  • How to fix a broken drainpipe in Warwick

    If you notice any cracks or fissures in your drainpipes, it’s important to tackle things right away. Whilst there are steps you can take to try to deal with the problem yourself – which you can read about in our blog on how to fix a broken drainpipe – generally speaking, it’s best to call in the experts.

    At Cotswold Drainage, we can diagnose the root cause of your broken drainpipes in Warwick to ensure that the problem is not only fixed but also unlikely to return. We specialise in all kinds of drain maintenance in and around the Warwick area, allowing us to tackle your broken drainpipes using a variety of professional techniques. These include patch lining, slip lining, cured-in-place lining, and full excavation and replacement, whereby the solution we implement will depend on the extent of the damage and problem.

  • How to clean blocked drains in Warwick

    Whilst we have already discussed the best methods for drain unblocking in Warwick above, you might also be interested in learning more about drain cleaning in Warwick. Drain cleaning is more of a preventative measure, designed for optimal drain maintenance. Our expert team can come out to your property at any time, equipped with a high-power jet wash to remove any dirt, debris and other nasties that could cause problems if left for the long term. We will then issue you with a full, six-month guarantee, in addition to asking you whether you would like to benefit from a free CCTV survey eligibility check.

  • How to Unclog An Outside Drain: Redditch?

    If you’ve noticed a build-up of leaves and debris on top of your drain covers, it may be a good idea to consider unblocking your drains yourself. You can do this relatively easily, simply by scooping up any unwanted material from the surface using a bucket and rubber gloves.

    Nevertheless, if the blockage is more severe, you may need to lift the drain cover using a screwdriver. You can then reach in and remove any debris manually. We recommend never going past your elbow at the very furthest, as this can be both dangerous and unhygienic. If the blockage is any worse, it’s time to call in the experts.
    Likewise, if the driveway to your Redditch home or business is already flooded with foul-smelling water, don’t waste any time and call Cotswold Drainage today. Our professional Redditch drain-cleaning team will know exactly what to do to unclog your outside drains and carries all the equipment required to deal with the issue there and then.

    In addition to responding to urgent drain cleaning callouts, we provide a range of other drain and sewer services in Redditch, including regular drain surveys and maintenance. In fact, we offer a free CCTV survey with each of our callouts, providing you with an affordable opportunity to keep an eye on your drains for the foreseeable future.

  • How to Unblock My Shower Drain: Redditch?

    If your shower drain is blocked in Redditch, the first thing to do is identify the cause of the problem. This may be obvious – such as a build-up of hair in the plug hole – or could be more difficult to diagnose. For instance, there may be an accumulation of hair and other bathroom products further down the pipework.

    There are a range of commercial products available to attempt to dissolve such blockages yourself, all of which can be purchased at a typical UK store or supermarket. Failing this, you could attempt to use a drain snake to push and break up any blockages or use a homemade solution of hot water and vinegar.

    If this still doesn’t work, it’s time to seek professional assistance. Here at Cotswold Drainage, we provide a range of drain cleaning services across Redditch and can be there to assist within 24 hours for more urgent problems.

  • How Do I Clean My Dirty Drain: Redditch?

    The way you should go about cleaning your drains will ultimately depend on where they are located. For instance, outdoor drains are likely to require the removal of physical debris, such as leaves, twigs and mud. Meanwhile, kitchen drains could be clogged as a result of FOG (fats, oils and grease), whilst bathroom drains are likely to be clogged by hair and a build-up of soapy products.

    To clean your dirty outdoor drain, simply grab a bucket and some rubber gloves and begin to pick out any easily-accessible debris with your hand. For indoor drains, look for a suitable drain unblocking product at your local supermarket or pour down a homemade solution of hot water and vinegar to try to loosen the blockage.

    If the above strategies fail to work, it’s likely that you are dealing with a blocked drain rather than just a dirty one. It’s important to note that leaving the problem will only make it worse and it’s unlikely to go away on its own. As such, we would highly recommend calling in an expert drain cleaning service at this stage. Cotswold Drainage is local to the Redditch area and can meet all your drain cleaning requirements in the Redditch area both quickly and efficiently.

  • My Drain Is Blocked in Redditch. Can You Help?

    Yes, of course! Cotswold Drainage provides a specialist Redditch drain cleaning service, including urgent, 24-hour callouts. We offer a full, six-month warranty on all our Redditch drain-cleaning services, in addition to a free CCTV survey, in order to determine whether your Redditch property might benefit from regular remote monitoring. For more information on this and our other drain and sewer services in Redditch, simply get in touch today.

  • How Do I Clean My Kitchen Drain: Redditch?

    Your kitchen sink will naturally suffer from a build-up of grease and grime through regular use. If you’ve noticed that water is taking longer to go down the drain or perhaps you’re aware of a foul smell, it’s time to clean your kitchen drain.

    The simplest and most cost-effective way of doing so is by pouring a mixture of vinegar and baking soda down your kitchen sink. This should typically be enough to dissolve any unwanted residue. We also recommend using baking soda to clean the inside of your kitchen sink on a weekly basis, as part of your regular cleaning routine, to keep things as healthy as possible.

    Failing this, you may wish to purchase a foaming or enzymatic cleaner from your local supermarket. Simply follow the instructions on the bottle and with a bit of luck, your kitchen drains should be back to normal. If the problem continues to persist, we recommend calling in the experts like the team at Cotswold Drainage to deal with the issue. If you continue to ignore it or try to treat it unsuccessfully yourself, you could end up with an even more serious kitchen drain blockage, which would be much more costly and unpleasant to fix.

Drain Unblocking Malvern FAQs

If you would like to learn more about what we can do for your Malvern drains, contact us for a chat or take a look at our FAQs below.

  • How Can I Unblock My Outside Drains in Malvern?

    If you already know that your Malvern drains are blocked, the likelihood is that the problem is already quite severe. Begin by removing any visible debris using rubber gloves and a bucket. It may also be a good idea to wear safety goggles and protective clothing, especially if you need to remove the drain cover and dig a little deeper to remove the blockage.

    If you find yourself extending too far – usually beyond elbow level – it’s time to call for expert help. Attempting to tackle more serious blockages by yourself could lead to damaged pipes, which will prove even more costly and inconvenient in the long run.

  • How Should I Unblock the Shower Drain At My Malvern Home?

    Indoor bathroom drains are prone to blocking, overflowing with water that takes a while to drain away – if it drains at all. The usual suspects are clumps of hair that have fallen out as you shower or a build-up of residue from the shampoo and shower gel products that you use.

    Luckily, a simple solution of hot water and vinegar tends to be enough to dissolve the blockage and allow you to use your shower as normal. You could also try using commercial drain unblocking fluid from the supermarket. If these solutions fail, it’s likely that the blockage is more serious and you’ll need expert help to resolve the issue and prevent it from recurring.

  • How Can I Clean My Drains in Malvern?

    The way you go about cleaning your Malvern drains will firstly depend on where your drains are located. If you are the property owner, you are personally responsible for maintaining all outdoor drains within your property boundary. The techniques you use to clear your outdoor drains will differ considerably from the home methods followed to reduce and clear indoor drain blockages.

    Secondly, your approach will be determined by the severity of the drainage problem. If home-made solutions, commercial cleaning products or a good pair of rubber gloves can cut it, then you’re good to go. Conversely, if you’ve tried this and still find yourself stuck, it’s wise to call a professional Malvern drain cleaning company to unblock your Malvern drains.

  • What Can I Do About My Smelly Drains in Malvern?

    If your drains have started to smell, don’t ignore it! At best, it could be an indicator of a minor drain blockage. Nevertheless, foul-smelling drains can also be a sign of something more serious. Stagnant water poses a serious health risk and could even lead to sinkholes in your garden. It also threatens the stability of your pipework in general, where cracks and fissures could cause serious structural damage to your Malvern property.

    If you have noticed smelly drains at your Malvern home, contact Cotswold Drainage for an urgent appointment today.

  • Can you repair my septic tank?

    In a word, yes. At Cotswold Drainage, we don’t just provide domestic drain unblocking services. We also provide a range of commercial drain services in and around the Gloucestershire area, including servicing and repairing your septic tanks.

Drain Unblocking Cheltenham: FAQ’s

  • How can I clear my blocked drain in Cheltenham?

    It all depends on the cause of the issue and where the blockage is.

    If your shower drains are blocked, remove any hair around your plug hole and try pouring boiling water down, followed by a mixture of vinegar and bicarbonate of soda. You could also buy a drain unblocking product from the supermarket. If this doesn’t work, call us to help. It’s important to find professional drain unblocking services as quickly as possible, as leaving the problem will only make it worse.

    Likewise, if your outdoor drains are blocked, check your drain cover for leaves and debris. You might have to lift the cover up. If the blockage can be easily removed, you’re good to go. Just make sure you use rubber gloves. For anything more serious, you’ll need to call a drain clearance company. Our Cheltenham drain unblocking service is guaranteed to resolve your issue before things really start to smell or overflow. If you have already started to notice these worrying signs – don’t wait any longer! Contact us via our urgent 24-hour drain clearing Cheltenham service now.

  • How do I get rid of drain smells in Cheltenham?

    It’s not great when your drains start to smell – and that’s putting it lightly. Foul drain smells will make you want to spend less time at home and may put off potential customers from visiting your business. What’s more, they could be indicative of a serious issue. Nasty drain smells are often followed by flooding, overflowing and a wealth of structural and health problems. If your Cheltenham drains have started to smell, don’t delay. Contact Cotswold Drainage today to benefit from the best drain repair in Cheltenham.

  • What do I do if my Cheltenham drains are overflowing?

    Whether it’s a slight puddle or a large flood, if your Cheltenham drains are overflowing, it’s time to call in the professionals. Flood water from overflowing drains can damage the structure of your property and often contains harmful bacteria, which, when left to settle and fester, could lead to disease and infestations.

    Overflowing drains could also be indicative of a serious problem. Your drainpipes could be cracked and if the fissures are located beneath your house, they need to be fixed immediately. With 25 years of experience providing drain unblocking and repair in Cheltenham, we know exactly how to handle any issue quickly and effectively.

  • What’s the best way to maintain my Cheltenham drains?

    There are many things you can do to maintain your Cheltenham drains, all of which are relatively simple.

    First of all, protect your indoor drains from potential blockages by placing hair catches in your bath or shower. You should also avoid pouring fats, oils and grease (FOG) down your kitchen sink and ensure that you never flush sanitary towels, nappies or face wipes down the toilet.

    To prevent your outdoor drains from becoming blocked, we recommend regularly sweeping leaves away from your driveway or garden, to ensure that debris doesn’t get lodged in your drain covers or pipework. You are responsible for maintaining any drains located within your property boundary, so it’s important to take all the steps you can to stop issues from developing.

    If you’re looking for additional help protecting your drains, you may wish to consider our CCTV survey service. It allows us to monitor the health of your drains over time and deal with any potential blockages before they become a problem.

  • How can I stop my Cheltenham drains from becoming blocked?

    You’ll often hear us say that prevention is better than the cure. If you want to make sure your Cheltenham drains don’t get blocked, we highly recommend calling us for a routine drain maintenance visit. We’ll come out to your property, check your drainpipes for cracks and other fissures, and ensure that there’s nothing blocking your indoor or outdoor drains. We offer a free CCTV survey assessment with all of our visits, giving you the option of monitoring your drain health remotely for the ultimate peace of mind. This cost-effective investment could save you a lot of money in the long term, by cutting the need for other, more costly, drain repair services.
