FAQs
How quickly can PES respond to a blocked drain emergency?
We provide 24/7 emergency drain unblocking cover for commercial and domestic properties. For urgent blockages – particularly where a drain has stopped flowing completely or where sewage is backing up – we treat attendance as a priority. Call 0203 439 9474 at any time and we will confirm our earliest attendance.
What causes blocked drains in commercial and domestic properties?
Common causes of blocked drains include grease and fat build-up (particularly in commercial kitchens), root ingress from nearby trees, accumulation of scale, sediment, and debris, wet wipes and sanitary products in domestic drains, collapsed or damaged pipe sections, and foreign objects. Our engineers identify the cause of the blockage as part of the unblocking process and advise on preventing recurrence. Call 0203 439 9474.
What methods do you use to unblock drains?
Depending on the nature and location of the blockage, we use high-pressure water jetting, mechanical rodding, or drain augers to clear blocked drains. High-pressure jetting is the most effective method for grease and fat accumulation and for clearing root ingress. Following unblocking, we recommend a CCTV survey to identify whether any underlying damage contributed to the blockage. Call 0203 439 9474.
Can blocked drains cause structural damage if left untreated?
Yes. A blocked drain left untreated can cause water to back up into the property, leading to flooding and damage to finishes, fixtures, and building fabric. In severe cases, the pressure build-up can cause pipe damage or joint failure. In commercial kitchens and food premises, a blocked drain can also trigger Environmental Health action. Call 0203 439 9474 immediately if you have a blocked drain.
Do you offer planned maintenance to prevent drain blockages in commercial premises?
Yes. For commercial premises – particularly restaurants, hotels, and food service businesses where grease accumulation is a significant risk – we offer planned drainage maintenance contracts including scheduled jetting and inspection to prevent blockage before it occurs. This is significantly more cost-effective than reactive emergency attendance. Call 0203 439 9474 to discuss a maintenance contract.
