How to Deal with Issues in Private Drains

If you are the sole owner of your properties drain, it is what is known as a private drain. Private drains are owned by the property owner and all maintenance and repairs are their responsibility. Whereas public drains and sewers are the responsibility of the water company.

If you are experiencing problems within your drains and are not sure if they are private or public, give your water company a call, as they may be able to help you.

Once you have concluded that your drain is private and entirely your responsibility, you should get in touch with a trusted trader that can help you. They will be able to determine the issues you are experiencing and the best ways to resolve them.

At We Love Drains, we offer a free service that allows us to inspect your drains where we think appropriate. Our technicians use a CCTV survey to make a well-informed decision regarding any of your faulty drains. If the CCTV Drain Survey reveals any issues, we will then prepare a formal, detailed CCTV report for you that outlines exactly what we have found. This report will be yours and, if need be, you can present this to your insurance company.

Not all drains are difficult to unblock, but sometimes they require a bit more expertise. We have the equipment needed to access all private drain manholes and access points, meaning we can make any problem disappear!

Sometimes unblocking and clearing is not enough to restore normal functionality within your drains. In this case, your drain may need repair or renovation. Unfortunately drains can get damaged over time. You can count on We Love Drains for any small replacements to more specialised, deep connections into sewers.

We undertake repairs to the highest of standards and use the latest technologies to reduce environmental issues and costs. For more information about how we can help you, give us a call on 0800 849 8099 or get in touch via our contact page.
