Ask The Expert: Why Do Drains Keep Blocking? Advice From Drainage Specialists in Tonbridge
Few things are more frustrating than clearing a blocked drain only for it to happen again a few weeks or months later.
If you’re constantly dealing with blocked drains, it’s usually a sign that the blockage itself isn’t the real problem. In many cases, there’s an underlying issue within the drainage system that’s causing the blockage to return.
Drain Relining vs Drain Patch Repair. Which Repair Is Right for Your Drain?; Advice by Tonbridge Drainage Specialists
If you’ve discovered damage within your drainage system, it’s natural to wonder which repair is the right choice.
Should you invest in drain relining, or would a drain patch repair solve the problem?
The answer depends entirely on the condition of the drain.
Is Drain Patch Repair Better Than Replacing the Whole Pipe? – ProFlow Drains
One of the most common questions we hear after a CCTV drain survey is:
“Do I really need to replace the whole pipe, or can it just be repaired?”
The honest answer is: it depends on the condition of the drain.
As experienced drainage specialists in Tonbridge, we’ve found that many drainage problems are caused by isolated damage rather than complete pipe failure.
