At Envirojet we specialize in internal drain blockages such as blocked sinks, showers, baths and urinals (commercial drainage).

Our domestic customers often try drain unblocking liquid to no avail, this is because the liquid is not concentrated enough to clear the blockage and just ends up as another expense although they are on the right track as blocked u bends are a very common problem.

We have over 30 years experience in the drainage industry and can deal with 90% of the blockages within the hour.

Drain Tracing and CCTV Survey Harrogate & Knaresborough

If you’re looking to have work done on your property like a driveway, extension or patio it’s always good practice to CCTV survey and trace your drainage lines prior to work taking place to avoid problems before they arise this ensures:

Drainage pipelines are not affected by building works i.e. Impact damage
Drainage lines can be re-routed to avoid weight baring areas
Depths can be calculated to avoid digging through pipelines
Any works to the drainage system can be carried out before a driveway is laid and drainage plans produced
House extensions have the required drainage system in place to connect to and sufficient access points in case of blockages

A Common problem with waste from kitchen extensions is white good such as dishwashers and washing machines being plumbed into external soak away drains, quite often a problem is not detected until it’s too late, this can then become a costly exercise moving pipework and in some cases the white goods themselves.

Do You need a CCTV drainage survey in Harrogate or surrounding area?

A CCTV drainage survey is the best way to locate problem areas within a pipe line that blocks on a regular basis. Information such as diameter, material, condition and the length of a drainage line can be gathered during the survey. With our advanced technology we can produce an on-site report, reducing waiting times, this means our customers can get back to normal as quickly as possible.

All reports are carried out on site and handed over at the end of the survey giving you piece of mind that your drainage issue is being dealt with as quickly as possible.

Surface water and soak away drainage

The picture above is an example of a soak away drain in Harrogate that has become defective. The black fall pipe is from a flat roof above and the excavation in front confirms that the soak away is not piped to mains surface water drainage.

How soak away drains work

Soak away drains are most common on domestic properties and are usually a gully drain on a corner taking water via a fall pipe from the roof. They are piped into a layer of stones/gravel underground to allow the water disperse naturally.

Problems can occur when the stones/gravel rather than acting like a filter become clogged with debris and soil causing the drain to back up.

How to rectify defective soak away drainage

High pressure water jetting of the drain to wash the stones/gravel to allow the water to flow away naturally again although this may not always cure the problem it should be the cheapest and first port of call
Re pipe the drain to a mains surface water line.
Excavate and replace the stone/gravel layer to return it to “like new” condition.

Ever wondered how we unblock your drain?

At Envirojet we use the most up to date technology to clear blocked drains, all our units are remote control saving alot of time setting up and using our high pressure water jetting equipment, in this video we are unblocking a full manhole drain in Harrogate. This particular manhole contains a “Windsor Trap” this is common in the Harrogate area and nothing to worry about they have been around for many years and rarly cause a probem (i will cover them in future blogs)

As you can see the unblocking process is a lot quicker than using drain rods and is also descaling the pipe line at the same time as dealing with the blockage (fat and grease build up).

Here’s an example of a blocked wet room / shower drain being cleared using our electro mechanical rodding machine, the bath and sink also linked into the same line causing this area to flood when in use, this particular property was in Harrogate and we were able to attend the blockage on the same day, a big advantage of using a local family business.

What causes blocked drains in Harrogate?

Blocked drains are caused by many things throughout Harrogate from kitchen sinks to external manhole drains and blocked toilets.
A few simple steps to avoiding an unclogging nightmare are:

Don’t flush sanitary products down the toilet.
Dispose of your cooking fat in the bin when it has solidified – don’t dispose of fat or oils in your kitchen sink
Don’t use baby wipes, these not only block your toilet they are not biodegradable and can block a drain further down the line at the manhole and beyond in the main sewer causing a build up and congealing with fats (often known as a fatberg)
