Drain cleared
"Happy Drains contacted me within minutes of posting my requirement. Their communication was always very clear, and the one time I misunderstood something, they immediately contacted me by phone to politely correct my error. The plumber contacted me by phone to give me 20 minutes notice of his arrival. On arrival, he immediately assessed the situation, and rectified it using equipment within the vehicle. The whole process took just minutes, and he explained the causes of the issue to me. At the same time he checked all other connected drains and made good the area."
Unblocking a very smelly bathroom sink
"I rang Happy Drains at 8:45am on a Monday morning to say I had a blocked and very smelly drain in the bathroom sink. They sent someone out who arrived at 11am - he unblocked the sink, checked the shower and toilet in the same bathroom, took photographs and cleaned everything perfectly. Such great service in such a timely manner. We also use Happy Drains at my work place and have always found their team great!"

Brighton Gully Emptying and Clearance
Drains and gullies at ground level throughout East Sussex require planned maintenance and cleaning. The solids carried by water through Brighton drainage systems are caught in the trapped gullies. These are designed specifically to do this to stop these solids passing through into East Sussex main drain system. To ensure that the system is in proper working order, specialist regular gully emptying is best practice. Call us for highly competitive rates in Brighton and beyond.
Brighton blocked drains are caused by all sorts of detritus, the restricted efficient free flow of water and leads to flooding. Our Brighton area vacuum tanker service will literally suck up waste from any East Sussex drain and then if required carry out high pressure water jetting to restore maximum flow.
Brighton Basement Flooding
Unfortunately, Brighton basement properties are susceptible to flooding, because they are simply at the lowest level and water only ever travels downhill!
Brighton basements are at risk from sewer leaks, storm drain overflows or surface water flooding caused by blockages, often without a moment’s notice.
Throughout East Sussex we offer a comprehensive emergency drainage service for all types of Brighton properties in the event of a flooding emergency.
Emergency Flood Removal across East Sussex
Brighton Flood Relief Emergency – Vacuum tankers are the best method for immediate flood water support. Vacuum tankers suck water and associated debris via a 4” hose in to our tanker and we take the liquid waste away and dispose at a licensed site
De-silting and gully sucking in Brighton – Debris are deliberately trapped by designed to catch solids before they can get into and build up in the main drainage system . The settled debris caught in the gully pot should be periodically emptied. Failure of maintenance is one of the main reasons of localised flooding in East Sussex. We remove silt from gullies with our jet vac combination to return the gully and associated Brighton pipework back to a serviceable condition.
Large bore East Sussex drains and sewers need industrial sized Jetters – Jet-Vac combi units are designed to be up for the job. Smaller units are very inefficient and considerably more expensive when compared to a tanker jetting. Focused high volume of water under controlled pressures efficiently flush debris out of Brighton pipework and cleanse to restore maximum flow.
No water for jetting on your Brighton site? – Subject to permissions we can fill the jetting tank with clean water from a nominated metered hydrant and attend East Sussex sites to enable jetting and cleansing works to be undertaken. We can do this as often is required to complete any contract subject to permissions and licensing from the Brighton local water company.

Will definitely use Happy drains again if I ever have a drain problem."

5* Service was Over and Above expectation.
"This is the second time I have used Happy Drains the Service provided last time was superb. This time it was even better! With no appointments available to clear my elderly mothers blocked toilet, Happy Drains rearranged a schedule to conduct the work to limit inconvenience. Joe attended and was absolutely first class keeping me updated directly at the request of my confused elderly mother. It is so reassuring to be kept informed of the detail when you are 80 miles away so I could explain it in simple terms to my mother, I recommend Happy Drains 100% and commend Joe for the 5* Service."
