As you would expect from a drainage company, we get a lot of calls from new customers anxiously asking whether or not we fix blocked drains (the clue is in our name).
Yes we do. And we happen to be very good at it.
This week, we were called out to a customers home who has suffered from what can only be described as an infestation of tree roots and other plant life root systems.
The drain, which runs under a driveway in the home on the South side was blocked fro the various root systems so we had to dig a large trench down to access the pipe before removing a section of the damaged old drain pipe and replace it with new piping.
On so many of the older homes in and around Glasgow, the drainage pipes were laid decades ago. So small trees and shrubs were not really a concern. Fast forward the better part of a century (sometimes longer) and some of the oldest trees in Glasgow have understandably managed to wrap themselves around the drain pipes.
We do this kind of drain repair a lot and are very good at it. If you have suffered from a blocked drain caused by tree roots, call the professionals today.
