Exeter has centuries of history, so a blocked drain can hit almost any home. An old building near the cathedral can get one. A modern student flat in Pennsylvania can too. Because of that, your engineer knows the city's many drainage quirks, and gets your system working again fast.
Tell us the signs through our quick online form — slow drains, gurgling, bad smells, or standing water. Since the details matter, we send a local engineer to your Exeter home, arriving promptly, with urgent jobs prioritised.
Your engineer checks all access points first. If needed, they use a CCTV drain camera, since that shows the exact spot and cause of the blockage.
Your engineer clears the blockage using high-pressure jetting, rodding, or a drain snake. They pick the method to suit your pipe type, since the wrong one can cause damage.
Your engineer runs water through every fixture to check the flow is back to normal. It's worth asking them to check this before they sign the job off.
You get a summary of what caused the blockage, plus simple steps to stop it happening again in your Exeter home.
Your engineer starts with a full CCTV check to find the exact cause of the blockage. From there, high-pressure jetting clears even the toughest blockages, and they advise on stopping it happening again. Local tip: Homes on Exeter's tree-lined streets in Heavitree should book a yearly drain check, since this catches roots early. The same goes for gardens in Pennsylvania.
Our engineers cover Exeter and usually arrive promptly, with urgent jobs prioritised. Since flooding and sewage backup get worse fast, we send help there first.
The cost in Exeter depends on how bad the blockage is, since jetting and digging are priced differently, and there's no call-out fee. Request a fast, fixed-price quote online before any work starts.
The most common causes in Exeter are fat and grease buildup in busy household and restaurant kitchens and tree root intrusion from mature trees in heavitree and st thomas. Homes such as Victorian terraces, Georgian townhouses, modern apartments, university accommodation, and commercial premises see this most, since old pipes and big gardens both play a part.
