Drain and Pipe Relining
This is a way of placing new piping down, without the need to dig up the drain. The process uses a system called ‘inversion’. This uses pressurised air or water. We use different inversion methods depending on the environment and application.
Some benefits of relining a pipe rather than replacing it altogether are that it’s cheaper, more convenience due to minimal disruption, more resistant to leaks and root penetration, strengthens the pipe.
Drain Excavation
When a damaged drain requires excavation and repair, the scope of the job can vary greatly depending on the problem. For Blocked Drains Worcester to accurately assess the problem, our skilled engineer will inspect the drain to decide on the best course of action.
We will need to ascertain the correct equipment, personnel and any permits required. After the initial inspection, our engineer will be able to give an accurate estimate for the repair of the drain. Please get in touch and we can get your issue resolved.
Root Removal
We undertand that tree roots can cause cracks in pipes, pavements, and driveways. These will vary in size and seriousness, and some may be too big a job to be able to remove using simply a spade or an axe. Blocked Drains Worcester remove tree roots safely and and can also treat them in order to ensure they won’t come back.
Please contact us today and preserve your property from tree roots.

The build up of fat, washing detergent, silt, and scale reduce the pipe water flow leading to a slight or complete blockage. Using a powerful high pressured jetting machine, Blocked Drains Worcester blast through obstructions in your pipework, stripping away any deposits to restore fully functional conditions. Let us restore good water flow. Contact us today.
Septic Tank Services
If you own a property that uses a Septic Tank, it is important to know that new regulations came into effect on January 1st, 2020. We can make sure that you meet the new Environmental Agency rules.
If a Septic Tank discharges into surface water areas such as ditches, streams and surface drains, it will need to be replaced by a full sewage treatment plant or use a proper drain field. The Environmental Agency has ruled that dispersing waste water from Septic Tanks into a surface watercourse is a potential cause of pollution. Failure to comply with the new rules could result in a hefty £100,000 fine, so don’t neglect to meet your responsibilities.
Septic Tanks may need to be configured to discharge waste via an appropriately designed drainage field. Ezy drains, tunnels, soakaway crates or pits do not meet the new requirements. Our qualified drainage engineers will make sure that your Septic Tank discharges into an infiltration system. You are required by law to upgrade your system by 2020 even if you are selling your property. A sale cannot go ahead if your Septic Tank fails to meet the new regulations. A Septic Tank must discharge into the ground rather than a body of water.
Our team can make sure that your new Septic Tank operation uses a sewage treatment plant including full BS EN 12566 paperwork, or we’ll redirect waste to a drain field that meets British Standard BS6297:2007. It is important that your Septic Tank meets compliance regulations and treats sewage to the same standard as a sewage treatment plant. In some cases, it may be possible to connect the Septic Tank to a mains sewer system instead.
If you need assistance in this area, call on our drainage expertise. We can also advise and help with making sure that planning permission is in place. The team can also help with de-sludge treatments and Septic Tank maintenance. As a general rule of thumb, we advise that your plant is de-sludged at least once per year. Our team can also help with the disposal of old Septic Tanks. To find out whether we can upgrade your existing tank, or whether its time to get a new one, contact us today.
