What a drainage specialist can help you with
Drainage specialists tend to work with broken pipes and other drainage problems like blocked drains.
As well as clogged sinks, toilets and showers, drainage problems can also be caused by trees and tree roots interrupting the sewer line. Cracks in a path near a tree can be a sign that a tree’s roots are causing problems. A drainage specialist can bore the sewer line open, get rid of the roots, treat them so they don’t grow in that spot again, and then replace or reline the pipe.
Drainage specialists also install and empty septic tanks, which collect waste in homes that don’t have pipes that are connected to a public sewer system. You should have your tank emptied roughly once a year, following the rules outlined on the GOV.UK website.
A drainage specialist can help with:
- Installing, unblocking and cleaning drains
- Dealing with sewage problems
- Installing septic tanks or soakaways
- Septic tanks clearance and cleaning

For all your drainage needs, speak to a skilled drain installation and repair specialist in your local area today. They’ll be able to offer the right drainage solutions for your home, regardless of whether you have a blockage or need whole new plumbing.

- Have all the necessary licenses and insurance needed to protect you and their workers
- Have a good range of positive reviews from previous customers vouching for their reliability
- Are offering the drainage services you need, and are available to carry out the work in the timeframe you need it done by

A local drainage specialist is more likely to respond quickly, as they’ll be right around the corner and ready to help.

Other driveway FAQs
Do I need planning permission for drainage work?
You typically do not need planning permission for repairs and minor maintenance unless your property is a listed building. However, you must clarify ownership before altering any shared drains, sewers, or manholes with your neighbours
To check whether your drainage job requires planning permission, contact your local planning authority. You can also visit the Planning Portal website, or read our planning permission guide, for more information.
What questions should I ask before hiring a drainage company?
Before hiring, you should ask if they have public liability insurance to protect your property and confirm how many years of experience they have. It is also important to request a clear breakdown of the total costs and an estimated timeline for completion. You can check a company's past ratings, reviews, and work galleries directly on their Rated People profile.
How can I ensure a good working relationship with my drainage specialist?
You can ensure a smooth project by being completely clear about your budget and expectations from the very beginning. Stay in the loop by asking for regular updates, and keep a written record of any changes to costs or timelines. If you have any concerns as the work unfolds, discuss them with your specialist immediately to resolve issues quickly.
