From a single sink to a whole row of houses, the Pro Logic Plumbing & Drainage team travels far and wide throughout its areas of coverage to handily deal with blocked drains. Whether you’re a homeowner in our hometown of Crawley, run a bustling business in Haywards Heath, or operate a school or hospital over in nearby Horsham, blocked drains can strike at any time. With a 24-hour emergency line, we can swing into action at a moment’s notice, capably dispatching blockages with a range of techniques, selected to suit the situation.
Our Techniques & Methods
One of the primary approaches we employ is the use of drain rods. These are long, flexible rods inserted into the drain to manually dislodge and remove blockages. Our plumbers may also employ high-pressure drain jetting equipment, which utilises a powerful stream of water to break down and flush away obstructions. If we need to locate the exact location of the blockage or gather more information, we may recommend a CCTV drain survey to clients in and around Crawley, Haywards Heath and Horsham. These involve the use of small cameras attached to a flexible cable, which allow our technicians to remotely inspect the inside of the drain and identify the exact location and nature of the blockage.
What Causes Blocked Drains?
The most common causes of blocked drains we encounter around Crawley, Haywards Heath and Horsham include the accumulation of grease and fat, presence of foreign objects such as hair and sanitary products, tree root intrusions, and the build-up of scale and sediment.
- Grease and fat can solidify in the drain over time, so to avoid this it is advisable to refrain from pouring oil, grease, or fat down the drain and to use a grease trap wherever applicable.
- Foreign objects can be prevented from entering the drain by using drain guards or strainers in sinks, showers, and bath plugs.
- Tree roots can infiltrate underground drains, and are often one of the most problematic causes of blocked drains. Scheduling regular inspection and maintenance from a reputable drainage company, along with the timely removal of any intrusive roots, can help prevent this issue.
- Scale and sediment accumulation can be minimised by using water softeners and regular descaling treatments.
