What Causes Blocked Drains in Altrincham?
Altrincham has a mix of older Victorian and Edwardian properties alongside more modern developments. Older properties have clay drainage systems increasingly prone to blockages. The most common causes include:
- Fat, grease and food waste buildup in kitchen drains
- Wet wipes and sanitary products in bathroom drains
- Tree root intrusion — particularly common in Bowdon and Hale
- Collapsed or cracked clay drain pipes in older WA14 properties
- Debris and leaf buildup in outdoor drains
Our Drain Unblocking Methods
High Pressure Water Jetting
The most effective method for clearing stubborn blockages. A high-pressure water jet blasts through grease buildup, root intrusion and compacted debris — leaving the drain thoroughly cleaned.
Electro-Mechanical Drain Rodding
Flexible rods break through and clear solid obstructions. Effective for most standard domestic drain blockages and typically faster for straightforward jobs.
CCTV Drain Survey
For persistent or recurring blockages, a CCTV camera survey identifies the exact cause and location. Particularly useful for suspected root intrusion in older Altrincham properties.
How Much Does Drain Unblocking Cost in Altrincham?
Most standard jobs cost between £80 and £150. More complex blockages requiring jetting or CCTV surveys may cost more. All engineers provide a clear upfront quote — no hidden charges.
