Drain cleaning in Milton

A blocked drain is nearly always one of three things: hair, grease or something solid that should never have gone down. We work out which, then clear it with the right tool rather than the biggest one.

Suits: Slow or blocked sinks, tubs and floor drains

Typical visit: Usually under two hours

Fault shown to you before any repair

Firm price on site, then the work

Drop sheets down, mess cleaned up after

Matching the tool to the drain

A bathroom sink gets a quarter-inch hand auger, fed through the trap after we pull the stopper and clean the tailpiece. A tub drain is usually fixed by pulling the overflow plate and working a cable down from there, with the hair pulled out of the shoe by hand. Kitchen lines and laundry standpipes get a drum machine with a three-eighths or half-inch cable, because the grease and lint build up along a long horizontal run rather than in one spot.

Floor drains and main lines need the heavy machine, a bigger cable and a cutting head.
For those we often follow up with a camera, because a drain that has backed up once is telling you something about the pipe.

Water standing in the tub long after the shower ends
Gurgling from the sink when the dishwasher drains
A sour smell that comes up through a drain
Several fixtures slow at once, especially on the lowest floor
Water rising in the shower when the toilet is flushed

How the work goes

We ask which fixtures are slow and test each one by running water.
We pull traps, stoppers or cleanout caps to reach the blockage directly.
We run the right-sized cable until the line flows freely.
We flush the line hard with hot water and watch it drain.
If the clog came back fast or sits in the main, we offer a camera look.

What you will see us pull out

Matted hair wound around the cable tip. Fat gone hard and grey like candle wax along the bottom of the pipe.

Dental floss, wipes, cotton swabs, a child's toy.
We show it to you, because the best way to prevent the next blockage is to know what made this one.

Asked on the phone line

Will chemical drain cleaner help?

It rarely fixes a full blockage and it makes the job harder and more dangerous for us to open the trap. Please tell us if you have used any.

Should drains be cleaned on a schedule?

No, only when one starts to slow. A house with no slow drains does not need routine cleaning.
