Most of us never give drainage a second thought until something goes wrong. Yet those pipes are in use every single day, all year round, quietly underpinning a comfortable, working home or workplace. That's exactly why staying on top of maintenance counts for so much. You'll never stop faults happening altogether, but a proactive approach keeps the scale, and the cost, of any repair right down.
When your drains block out of the blue, or anything else knocks their performance, you're suddenly facing unhygienic conditions, disruption, bills you hadn't budgeted for and, naturally, a good deal of stress.
To keep the worst at bay, our DrainSafe-approved contractors carry out CCTV drain surveys. Current industry advice is to have your system surveyed at least once every three years. A survey lets us map out the drainage across your property, and at the same time it brings early signs of damage to light and flags the weak spots worth keeping an eye on.
By monitoring things over time and stepping in with small, effective repairs, we deal with minor faults long before they snowball into something far bigger. From cracked pipe repairs to tree root removal, our services cover the lot.
There's never a convenient moment for a drainage emergency. For your peace of mind, though, BP Drains Ltd runs a callout service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Our phones are always staffed, so getting through to us is never a problem.
Drainage emergencies turn up in every shape and size, from the small and manageable to the large and urgent, with plenty in between. With more than 50 years of combined experience in our in-house team, you can count on us to handle whatever you're up against.
Broadly speaking, drain repairs split into two types: non-invasive and invasive.
No excavation is needed for these. At BP Drains Ltd, we use modern equipment and machinery to make repairs from inside the damaged pipe, and the work always begins with a CCTV drain survey. That lets us examine your whole underground network without breaking through the surface at all. More often than not, we'll carry out a drain lining procedure, forming a fresh, hard-wearing pipe inside the existing one.
Because these trenchless, no-dig options call for far less labour, we get the work turned around quickly and with minimal disruption, which matters enormously when the repair can't wait. It keeps the cost down as well.
BP Drains Ltd covers a full range of non-invasive repairs, including:
Invasive repairs, on the other hand, begin with drain excavation. Here we have to break through the upper surface and dig out a trench so the team can reach the pipework below ground. Before any digging starts, we always check for other buried services, such as utility cables.
You can be sure we only ever dig when there's genuinely no other option. It's an approach we save for emergency situations like a collapsed drain.
This is precisely why a maintenance programme for your drains is worth having. Skip the regular checks and the small-scale repairs, and your system stands a far greater chance of developing the sort of large problem that demands invasive work.
