How We Unblock Your Drains
Swift Assessment &
Call-Out
You tell us what’s happening, slow draining, strange noises, backups, and we send the nearest technician. If it’s urgent, we make it our top priority.
On-Site Check &
Camera Inspection
We examine the blockage. For tricky or hidden issues, we insert a camera into the drain to locate root intrusions, collapsed pipes or clogs.
Targeted Clearing
Using high-pressure water jetting (up to 3,000 PSI) and mechanical rods, we clear grease, roots and debris. If your pipes are delicate, we lower the pressure and switch to gentler tools to avoid any damage.
Double Check
After clearing, we run water tests and sometimes insert the camera again to confirm the drain is completely free. We don’t leave until we know the job is done.
Preventive Advice
Before we go, our technician will offer tips, like using a hair catcher in the shower and avoiding pouring hot fat down the sink, to help you prevent future blockages.
Final Verification & Site Clean Up
We remove debris, tidy area, verify drains flow flawlessly, and provide tips for long-term performance before considering the job complete.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below you’ll find answers to our most common questions about drain blockages, repairs, and CCTV surveys. If you don’t see the information you need here—or you’d like more details—just give us a call.
Contact us
How quickly can you respond to an emergency drain unblocking call?
We operate a 24/7 emergency response service. Once you call, our nearest technician is dispatched immediately. In most cases within Plymouth city limits, we’ll arrive in under 60 minutes. We’ll keep you updated on our technician’s ETA, so you know exactly when they’ll arrive.
What areas do you serve around Plymouth?
We serve all of Plymouth and surrounding suburbs, including Plympton, Plymstock, Saltash, Devonport, and Derriford. If you live just outside these areas, give us a call—chances are high that we cover your location, too.
Do I need to be at home during the drain repair or cleaning?
Yes. We recommend that someone is present while our technicians work, primarily for access and to answer any questions they might have. If you can’t stay on site the whole time, just let us know in advance, and we’ll arrange a convenient time for a quick handover and walkthrough.
What does your standard drain cleaning service include?
Our standard drain cleaning service starts with an inspection to identify the cause of the blockage. We then use high-pressure jetting to remove debris, grease, and silt. Finally, we perform a brief CCTV scan to confirm the drain is clear and provide you with a short video clip so you can see the results for yourself.
Can I pour hot water down a blocked drain?
Pouring hot water can sometimes help with light grease build-up, but it’s rarely a permanent fix. If the blockage is caused by debris, tree roots, or a collapsed pipe, hot water will only clear the surface grease. We recommend calling our team for a proper diagnosis—trying to force hot water through a major blockage can make the problem worse.

We recommend calling our team for a proper diagnosis—trying to force hot water through a major blockage can make the problem worse.
Can I pour hot water down a blocked drain?
A typical CCTV drain survey on a standard domestic system takes between 30 and 60 minutes. For larger properties or more complex layouts, it may take up to 90 minutes. We provide a full report, including video footage and recommendations, at the end of the inspection.
How often should I have my drains checked or cleaned?
For most homes, we recommend a basic drain jetting and inspection every 12–18 months to prevent blockages and identify early signs of wear. If you notice slow drainage, foul odours, or frequent gurgling sounds, it’s best to book a check as soon as possible rather than waiting for the annual service.
First time I’ve used Drainblock but Roman was brill. Top class. Great communication, excellent work and knowledge , and fairly priced. Having hired many many trades as a landlord and holiday let owner I can say I really wish they were all this easy to deal with.
Called Roman with a query about a blocked drain at 1815 .
Was given very competitive prices for a call out at this time of night and a straight forward breakdown of what it may cost if the time went over 1 hour.
Gladly agreed to get him out and can happily say drain was completely unblocked within 45 minutes of original call.
Roman very kindly gave his time and experience to help us deal with a terrible experience from a rogue trader. He reviewed CCTV footage and was able to explain what would have been a reasonable and fair (in contrast to what happened to us). I’m incredibly grateful to him. I will certainly choose him for a good, honest local service in the future. Thanks, Roman!
