The Differences Between Drain Cleaning and Drain Unblocking

We don’t need to tell you what happens when your drains become blocked, or when they are left for so long that the lack of maintenance translates to bad aromas, slow-drain sinks and showers, and gurgling noises throughout the home. Blocked drains can be nasty business for homeowners, not only presenting an array of undesirable and unpleasant symptoms but also linking to some expensive repair work if the right actions are not taken efficiently. 

As one of our core services, our team are expert in managing blocked drains and has become the first port of call for clients across London who are facing the above symptoms and more. But with that in mind, we believe it’s also important to highlight our drain cleaning London services, which encompass the hallmarks of the drain unblocking process but regularly which is as closely tied to maintenance as it is to repair. 

What is drain cleaning?

Drain cleaning is a form of maintenance whereby our expert team will regularly visit your property and combine our expertise with high-level equipment and tools to flush your pipes and check that your entire drainage system is in full operational order. 

With our ongoing service accessible both in terms of price and availability, we pride ourselves on offering a service which ensures that you do not face the challenges of blocked drains – instead flushing and removing blockages before they become established in the pipes and create a bigger issue. 

How does our drain unblocking service compare? 

The biggest difference between drain cleaning and drain unblocking is the circumstances under which you seek both services. While drain cleaning is considered a long-term approach to drain management, ensuring that you keep your system well maintained to avoid potential blockages and to test factors such as pressure in your pipes and water flow, drain unblocking is more of an emergency service through which you get in touch with our team as a result of an issue which has arisen.

Typically, our drain unblocking service is connected to a faster response, which will cost more financially but which is designed to ensure that the damage of a blocked drain is minimised across client properties. 

Do you need regular drain cleaning services? 

A regular drain cleaning service helps to keep your system in the best possible condition, alleviating any potential blockages before they cause damage and keeping future repair costs at a minimum. In addition to the practical side of our drain cleaning and maintenance service, we also provide our clients with plenty of information about ways of protecting their drainage system, spotting the signs of a blockage early on, and what not to flush down toilets and into sink plug holes to keep the system flowing freely.
