Services
Blocked Drains
Our blocked drain service utilises high-pressure water jetting and advanced equipment to resolve obstructions in residential and commercial properties. We address recurring blockages caused by debris, grease, or root intrusion, restoring proper drainage swiftly. Clients benefit from 24/7 emergency support and preventative advice to avoid future issues.
Septic Tank Emptying
Regular septic tank emptying prevents overflows and system failures. Our vacuum-assisted waste removal ensures thorough cleaning, while inspections identify potential leaks or damage. We recommend annual servicing for optimal performance, complying with environmental regulations and extending system longevity for homeowners and businesses.
Emergency Tankering
Available 24/7, our emergency tankering service rapidly extracts floodwater, sewage, and hazardous waste using high-capacity vehicles. This service minimises property damage during plumbing crises or severe weather events. Commercial clients also benefit from scheduled waste management solutions to maintain compliance and operational efficiency.
Drain Surveys
CCTV drain surveys diagnose hard-to-reach pipe issues using high-resolution cameras. This non-invasive method identifies cracks, root intrusion, or blockages, enabling targeted repairs. Surveys provide detailed reports to inform maintenance strategies, reducing long-term costs and preventing unexpected failures for property owners.
Root Intrusion Removal
Root intrusion in drains is tackled using hydro jetting and mechanical cutting tools to clear obstructions. We apply root inhibitors to delay regrowth and recommend pipe relining for severe cases. This service protects drainage integrity, preventing costly structural damage and recurring blockages in properties with nearby vegetation.

Liam came to unblock our drain this morning, he is efficient and friendly - as is Dave who replied to my original Facebook query and kept me updated on arrival time.
Liam explained what he was doing and gave some advice to prevent recurrence, was all sorted in about half an hour so a good job well done guys.
Thanks, would definitely use you again if we need help!

I recently had the pleasure of using DrainGain for a pre-purchase survey, and their service was exceptional. Throughout the entire process, every person I interacted with was incredibly helpful and friendly. Despite my request being on short notice, they managed to accommodate my needs and even provided me with additional valuable advice. Dealing with DrainGain has been an absolute pleasure, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services without any hesitation.
