Are Leaves Blocking Your Drains?
Leaves Blocking Your Drains?
During the Autumn and Winter months, it’s a common issue to have leaves blocking drains. Our outdoor pipes and drainage systems are an important part preventing flooding around your home.
Keeping drains clear of debris and dealing with any stray leaves early is the best way to handle this problem. Letting the leaves pile up can also cause a slippery hazard that is difficult to clean up.
Blocked Drains
When your drain grids become blocked by leaves and other debris, they are unable to effectively carry water down the drains. This can cause flooding around your house, particularly when faced with heavy rains.
It doesn’t take many rotting leaves to completely clog a drain, which can cause significant damage to your garden and pathways over time. It’s best to deal with leaves blocking drains sooner rather than later, allowing your drains to function properly.
Prevent Leaves From Blocking Drains
As with most things, preventing the issue is far easier and cheaper than fixing it. That’s why it is important to know how to stop leaves blocking drains. There are multiple things you can do to prevent outside blockages, including cleaning your yard often and choosing the right type of trees when setting up your garden. For a temporary solution, you can put on a pair of gloves and pull the debris up by hand.
You can also inspect your drain regularly. Sometimes you might need more than just a quick glance. That’s what Drainpro is for, offering thorough drain inspections for your complete peace of mind.
We use our CCTV drain camera to get the full picture. Often drain issues are further down the pipe than is accessible from the surface. If you’ve taken all the possible steps to clean out the drain and still found blockages, it’s time to call the professionals.

TESTIMONIALS
we are very happy with a job well done by Nick! With a fixed price, i knew exactly what it was going to cost me before he arrived. He assessed the problem quickly then dropped a camera in the drain and explained everything to us as he worked! We could see with our own eyes that the drains were free of roots and squeeky clean by the time he had finished! Thank you Nick for a job well done!

Wouldn't call anyone else! Spoke with Jim on the phone, he was easy to talk to, honest and knew what he was talking about. Nick was here on time and did his work with pride and care. He explained everything as the work was done and had my problem solved in no time at all. He was even able to check out some other issues and help to fix them as well. I have no doubt that if any problems came up during the work, Drainpro would have the tools and experience to get the job done right the first time for a fair price!
Great company, Great people & Great service!

I highly recommend Drainpro. A week ago Jim from Drainpro attended to my drain blockage issue. He took the time to diagnose the problem (due to tree roots), fixed the problem and gave me great advice on how to manage my drains instead of lining it or digging it out and replacing which are very time consuming, costly and not to mention not suitable recommendation for my drains which are still in a reasonably good condition. He took the time also to call and logged a job with my water authority to ensure that they come out to also clear the council drain of roots which is the main cause of the blockage. All this done at a very reasonable price. I have used other plumbers before but Jim from Drainpro is by far the best I have encountered. Jim is very passionate about his work, he is prompt, professional and friendly. I will definitely use him again for my drains issue in the future. Keep up the good work!

Discussed problem with Jim on phone. Very rapid service. The blocked drain proved to be quite difficult. Nick was more than equal to the task and remained cheerful throughout. The result is excellent. I can happily recommend Drain Pro.

Nick performed an excellent job on our blocked sewer line. He was very friendly and courteous! The flat rate may seem pricey compared to other plumbers, but after seeing Nick at work and how thorough he was I think it was a fair price. Traddies like Nick are very rare these days! Thank you!
