Services
Drain Unblocking
We eliminate drain obstructions using manual rodding, high-pressure water jetting, and CCTV diagnostics. Our engineers identify root causes including fat build-up, foreign objects, or structural damage. Employing both traditional and modern techniques, we restore proper drainage for residential and commercial properties across the South East region.
CCTV Drain Surveys
Our state-of-the-art camera technology allows comprehensive internal pipe inspections. This non-invasive method identifies blockages, cracks, root ingress, and structural issues. We provide detailed reports that guide repair decisions while minimizing disruptive excavation through precise fault localization in drainage systems.
Drain Lining
This trenchless solution repairs damaged pipes without excavation. We insert resin-coated liners to create durable internal pipe casings. Ideal for addressing cracks, leaks, and root damage while maintaining system integrity. The process causes minimal disruption to property surfaces and surrounding environments.
Tanker Services
Our 2000 and 4000-gallon tankers handle large-scale liquid waste operations. Services include septic tank emptying, sewer cleaning, and flood water removal. High-flow pumping systems efficiently clear commercial and residential properties while ensuring environmentally responsible waste disposal and treatment.
Root Cutting
Specialist cutting tools eliminate tree root intrusions in drainage systems. We address both minor root infiltration and severe pipe fractures caused by root growth. Post-clearance inspections ensure complete removal while advising preventive measures against future root penetration in underground pipework.

Report
Panic at the Presbytery! Toilets not draining away - manhole oozing! Called JDDrains and a very helpful lady (am I allowed to say that nowadays!) informed me that someone would be on site in about an hour. Received a txt message to confirm and a call from the technician on arrival.. Job sorted within 20 minutes. Very pleased with response and work done. Price not too bad either. Used before - will use again. Excellent!

We had a blocked drain. I called in the morning and our drain was unblocked by the afternoon. All areas were left clean and tidy and the Plumber was very professional. The whole process went smoothly. The service that we received throughout was very good. I would recommend this company.
