3
Clear the Blockage
Using high-pressure water jetting, mechanical rodding, or electromechanical cutting tools, the engineer removes the obstruction completely and flushes the line clean.

Our approach in Shipston-on-Stour
The engineer considers the water table and the age of the home before clearing a blockage. Most drains here are period systems, so the method needs to suit older pipes. Care matters because old joints can loosen.
Local tip: Homes near the River Stour should watch how their drains perform in wet seasons. A rising water table can slow the flow, and deposits then build up.

What are the most common causes of blocked drains in Shipston-on-Stour?
In Shipston-on-Stour we often see root intrusion from established gardens and river-related water table effects. Homes such as period market town houses, Cotswold stone cottages, rural farmhouses, and village properties can be prone to this because pipes age and gardens grow. A CCTV check shows which cause you have.
What can I do to stop drains blocking again in Shipston-on-Stour?
Keep fat, wipes and food scraps out of the sink and toilet, because they build up and set hard. Fit strainers over plugholes, while keeping outside gullies clear of leaves. Still, if a drain keeps blocking, a CCTV check can show whether the pipe itself is at fault.
