Based in Aldershot, our time-served plumbers unblock drains for customers in and around the Guildford area. However, while we have the skill to clear any blockages, it is our belief that prevention is the best cure.

 

If you have a blocked indoor or outdoor drain at your property, this page explains why it is essential to call a plumbing professional sooner rather than later.

 

There are many unpleasant effects of living with a blocked or backed-up drain.

 

Some of these include:

 

Foul Odours

 

If the blockage at your home in Guildford is large enough to stop water from pushing through the pipe, this can lead to stagnant water. When blockages occur, unpleasant smells intensify because there is not enough moisture to absorb them. Add decomposing food and other forms of waste to this equation, and you’ll soon notice a stench that’s impossible to ignore.

 

We advise calling our plumbers as soon as you detect a foul smell from your drains.

 

Leaking Pipes

 

It is difficult for water to pass through a blocked pipe and, as water always follows the path of least resistance, sometimes this will lead to a leak at a join between two sections of piping. Similarly, a build-up of water pressure can cause a pipe to crack, leading to wastewater leaking out and soaking into flooring and walls.

 

Our expert personnel can fix the problem and, if necessary, replace pipework at properties in Guildford and the surrounding areas.

 

Poor Drainage

 

It goes without saying that a clogged drain results in sub-par drainage, which can often cause wastewater to flow back up the pipework and into your sink. If you’ve noticed that it takes longer than usual for water to drain away down the plughole, then you may have a blockage. In bathrooms this is often due to the build-up of deposits like soap scum and tangled strands of loose hair, while in kitchens it is often because of food waste.

 

Whatever the reason, our plumbers can clear any blockages and get your drainage back to its best in no time.

 

Dirty Water

 

Bacteria multiplies rapidly in a blocked drain, particularly if you add food and other waste material to the mix. If you have a blockage at your property in Guildford or the surrounding areas, this dirty water could flow back up your pipes and contaminate your sink and anything in it. This may lead to serious health problems.

 

With a wealth of knowledge and experience at their fingertips, our plumbing professionals tackle clogged drains as their bread and butter. While we often deal with such plumbing works, we remind our customers that they can avoid blockages by scraping food into the bin before washing up, using a grease trap to dispose of leftover cooking oil, and only flushing toilet paper down the lavatory.
