How do you unblock an outside drain?
Once the root cause has been identified by various inspection tests and methods of rodding, we will know the best action to take and proceed. In normal circumstances, we will be required to use high-pressure water jetting to force the blockage to break up.
If the drain or connecting pipe to the sewers is collapsed this will need excavation work to fix the damage wastewater way. Resulting in sanitary pipework and underground drainage to be restored.
In rare cases where the manhole cover has been lifted or left off, rodents can enter the drainage systems and could be the cause of a blockage. Likewise, tree roots causing a collapsed wastewater way.
You can be assured that AN Drainage has various ways of unblocking the root cause and can provide other services if needed where alternative solutions are required.
All our workmanship is in accordance with the best code of practice BS 8000.
