While it’s true most drainage systems in Brentwood lie beneath a home or building, technological advances allow us to uncover issues with pinpoint accuracy. A key aspect of our drain cleaning service is CCTV drainage surveys.
By using the latest in CCTV technology, we can assess the condition of your underground system by viewing footage relayed to an above-ground monitor. This allows us to identify even the smallest abnormalities in your system.
When it comes to blocked drains, the symptoms don’t leave much room for doubt. Some of the most common symptoms include slow draining water in sinks, showers and baths, as well as overflowing toilets.
However, less noticeable symptoms also exist. For example, you may notice an unpleasant, sulphurous smell coming from your drains. Another comes in the form of gurgling sounds in the drainage system caused by trapped air.
If you have any doubts, call PMB Environmental Ltd for fast drain cleaning and unblocking throughout the Brentwood area.
The responsibility for clearing a blocked drain lays with the property owner. As such, if you think you have a block in your system, you need to take the necessary action to clear it. If you rent a property, you should go through your landlord. If the issue wasn’t caused by you, they are probably liable to cover the cost.
If you can’t clear the blockage yourself, it’s always best to contact drainage professionals like those at PMB Environmental Ltd. Continuing with a DIY solution increases the chances of further damage, not to mention stress. With our drain cleaning and clearing expertise, we get your Brentwood property back to normal in no time.
Blocks in the pipes immediately beneath a bath or shower are very common. In most cases, this is nothing more than skin deposits and collected hair. You can usually pull this clog out of the drain by hand – but we recommend wearing rubber gloves! If the block is a little deeper, you can also use drain cleaning fluid.
However, choose your product carefully, as some contain corrosive chemicals that can damage underlying pipes.
We can trace this issue back to any number of causes. Sometimes, a defect in the tank causes your toilet to continuously leak water. You could also have a blockage deep within the drainage system. In most cases, however, the blockage is in the toilet itself.
If you experience the latter at your Brentwood property, you can swiftly resolve it by using a plunger. For more extensive drain cleaning, unblocking or other drainage services, please don’t hesitate to contact us.
