No household can run smoothly without a fully functioning drainage system. Whether you’re using the toilet, shower, or sink, you rely on drainpipes woven throughout your home to carry away waste.

In every home in Basingstoke, drainage systems are pivotal for removing waste from your property swiftly and responsibly. The functioning of your drains is vital to the continued use of essential household utilities, including toilets, sinks, and showers. As they are so frequently used, drainpipes are prone to issues such as burst pipes and blockages. The latter is commonly caused by a build-up in excess materials that predominantly include:
The clogging of these materials is the partial responsibility of fat, grease, and other sticky substances catching them in the inner-lining of your pipes. What’s more, scale can also infest the inside of your drainpipes and severely affect their performance. If a proliferation of these substances does result in a drain blockage, you’ll likely notice the issue through an unpleasant smell or resting water in your utilities.
To deal with such an issue, or prevent one from happening in the first place, it is essential to carry out regular cleaning on your drainpipes. It is especially vital to hire a specialist team that has the knowledge, training, and equipment necessary to deal with fat and scale correctly. The sooner you deal with a blockage, the less you’ll have to pay for cleaning and repairs.
If you think your pipes would benefit from descaling and fat removal, the first step is to reach out to our team at No1 PHD. In Basingstoke, we offer a 24-hour emergency drainage service, so you can rely on us to be available any time that you’re in need. Our staff will consult with you thoroughly to determine how much work needs to be done before packing up the correct equipment and arranging a visit to your property.
Upon arriving at your site, our team will first carry out an inspection of your system to determine how much cleaning work needs to be done. We take advantage of specialised, fibre optic cleaning cameras that show us what parts of your piping need to be serviced. This inspection technique is time-saving and non-destructive, so you won’t have to wait long for us to begin work on your pipes.
Once we’ve identified the areas of your piping that need special attention, we will get to work on cleaning them. We utilise specialised drain rods that are fed into your pipes and help scrape away scale and fat that has gotten stuck to the inside. Our team also make use of high-pressure water jets that blast a powerful stream of water into your pipe and push through fat and scale that has built up. These methods are quick, cheap, and effective, and will return your pipes to optimal performance.
