Drainage Services
Your drain may be damaged by corrosion or other forms of wear and tear, leading to broken or malfunctioning drains. Whatever the cause, our experts are here to restore your drains to peak condition.
We begin by identifying the root cause of the problem. Our skilled engineers at The Edinburgh Drainage Company use comprehensive drain surveys to pinpoint problem areas.
Blockages
Blocked Drain?
We understand how frustrating that can be. But for residents of Edinburgh, The Edinburgh Drainage Company is here to help. As drainage specialists, we can resolve your blockage issues with just one quick call. Using advanced technology and equipment, we efficiently clean and unblock your drains. Whether it's an industrial or domestic drain, we've got you covered.
Blocked Sink or Bath?
Though you may not notice it, every time you take a bath, dead skin cells and hair are washed away from your body. Over time, these materials cling to the walls of your pipes, gradually building up into a clog that obstructs the smooth flow of water from your bath. As well as that, soap scum forms when minerals in tap water mix with soap and dirt, creating a thick layer of limescale on your bath surfaces. Hard water, which contains more minerals, increases the likelihood of soap scum buildup. With each bath, this layer continues to grow, making it more difficult to remove over time.
Blocked Toilet?
Blocked toilets in Edinburgh are becoming more common. Based on our experience, toilet blockages are typically caused by non-flushable items being forced into the system, such as leftover food, diapers, and paper. In many cases, you can resolve the issue by clearing the blockage from the pipes. We handle all types of blocked toilet issues. Our commitment to our clients is to provide a permanent fix for their blocked toilets on our very first visit.
Drainage
Drain Cleaning
Our drain cleaning services include kitchen drains, bath drains, and flood drains. We understand the value of professionalism to our customers, and our technicians are committed to delivering a professional approach in every job. When you choose our services, you can trust that you’ll receive exceptional service at an affordable price. Customer satisfaction is our top priority, and we strive to exceed expectations every time. Sometimes the easiest solution is to plunge your blocked drain. It's a simple and inexpensive way to deliver a fully flowing drain. If plunging doesn't clear it, we can use our mechanical drain auger. This is equipped with a long steel cable and a cutting head designed to break through various types of debris blocking the drain. This method is often used in drainage systems where other cleaning techniques may not be effective or practical.
Drain Inspection
We utilize the latest CCTV and remote-controlled camera technology to diagnose your drains' condition. It's not unusual for home buyers to neglect the condition of the drains during the purchasing process, which can lead to unexpected costs after moving in. Just because your drains are out of sight doesn't mean they should be overlooked during your new home inspection. Our engineers have the expertise needed to ensure your property is free from drain issues.
Drain Vacuuming
We offer a state-of-the-art drain vacuumation service. For our engineers, vacuuming out clogs is just the first step. We also thoroughly clean and degrease pipes and drains, significantly reducing the likelihood of blockages reoccurring.
Using our high-powered jet vacuumation machines, The Edinburgh Drainage Company can efficiently empty and clean a variety of systems, including sewers, fish ponds, and boating areas.
Drain Repairs
At The Edinburgh Drainage Company, we are committed to delivering top-quality drain repair services in Edinburgh and the surrounding areas. Our aim is to restore your drainage system to its original condition. Clients choose us because they recognise the importance of getting it right the first time. We guarantee complete satisfaction with our work.
Sewers
Is it Your Responsibility?
A sewer is similar to a drain, with just a few key differences. Sewers collect the wastewater from multiple drains, gathering sewage from kitchens, toilets, and bathrooms of various properties.
In October 2011, the UK Government transferred the management of sewers and lateral drains to statutory water and sewerage companies. If you share your sewer with other property owners, you may no longer be responsible for its maintenance. Additionally, any section of your drain that lies outside the boundaries of your property is not your responsibility.
Sewer Desilting & Cleaning
Sewers can be classified as either private or public. Public sewers function like large tunnels beneath city streets, while private sewers are limited to your property.
Our experts are equipped to clean both public and private sewers. The Edinburgh Drainage Company has an outstanding track record of sewer cleaning, serving everything from individual homes to government contracts.
Sewer Renovation & Repair
Sewer renovation involves repairing damage to your sewers using specialised techniques. Such damage can result from root intrusion, cracked or broken pipes, debris blockages, corroded pipes, and even vehicular traffic.
Additionally, some issues may stem from poor design choices made by previous technicians, or from the sewers being improperly sized in relation to the building specifications.
