Foul smell in bathroom

"I had a disgusting smell of sewage coming through my pipes in the bathroom, after trying to solve the problem myself unsuccessfully i called Happy Drains and Alex arrived as planned, as soon as he flushed the loo he knew instantly what the problem was - a blockage in the pipes. To say he solved my problem is an understatement, he went to both of my neighbours to check their drains until he found the blockage and then went ahead and flushed the pipes through. He was a true gentleman, polite, funny and very caring. I highly recommend this company and especially Alex. Thank you Alex"

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.
