Drain Local Dorset is the expert in unblocking external drains in Bournemouth. We’ve got the expert tools, equipment, and knowledge to do the job quickly and effectively. 

How do I know if I have a blocked drain?

The first step is to identify whether or not your external drain is the issue. Let’s take a look at some of the most common issues we see:

• Unwanted smells coming from the drains – this is one of the biggest tell-tale signs that your drain is not working as it’s supposed to
• Overflow seen from the external drain – if you’re physically seeing waste backing up and overflowing from the drain, you can be pretty sure you’ve got a clogged drain. 
• Other facilities aren’t working as expected – if you’re experiencing issues with sinks and toilets flushing slower than expected, that might indicate an issue further downstream.

However, if your blockage proves trickier, we can use other manual or mechanical means to budge the blockage. 

If your external drain is becoming a persistent problem, it may mean you need a more regular or permanent solution.

What are the causes of blocked internal drains?

There are a variety of reasons your internal drain may become blocked. Let’s take a look at some of the most common issues we find when attending a job:

• Unsuitable items getting flushed away – if you’re flushing out things like baby wipes, feminine hygiene products, or any other insoluble products, the likelihood is that it will cause a blockage in the pipes. 
• Grease and Fat Deposits – Getting rid of grease down an indoor drain can lead to many problems. You might find it clogs up the pipes, making it impossible for waste to pass through properly. 
• Damaged/Broken Pipes – If your pipes are broken or damaged, then it’s likely that waste is not able to pass through the pipes adequately enough.

Manhole Cover Installation

An important invention from the Romans – was the manhole cover.  

Used to allow people access to the drainage and swear systems, the manhole cover is a vital part of maintaining a fully functioning drainage system. Manhole covers are also a key aspect of keeping unwanted people or things out, so it’s in the best interests of many to keep these covers in place and a suitable condition.  

DrainLocal Dorset has expert knowledge of installing and replacing manhole covers. We offer internal and external covers depending on the requirements provided. Let’s take a quick look at the different types of manhole covers available to you:

External Manhole Cover

These covers are the most common type of manhole cover used by both domestic and commercial clients. 

Typically made from cast iron, these external manhole covers can hold up to 90tonnes of weight, ideal for use in high-traffic areas.  

Internal Manhole Cover

Internal Manhole covers are perfect for domestic use inside a conservatory or a garage. The internal manhole covers are specially sealed to prevent unwanted odours from escaping indoors. They are discrete in appearance and a popular option for many homeowners. 

There are various materials which manhole covers are created from, each with its pros and cons. Again you need to have the correct information before making a decision, so let’s take a look at a few options:

• Cast Iron Cover – these are the most popular manhole covers. Traditionally used as external covers in high-density areas with pedestrians and vehicles passing over them. 
• Galvanised Steel – not quite as strong as the cast iron cover, however, nonetheless carry out their purpose very well. With a weight limit of around 17 tonnes, this manhole cover is very versatile.

As residents of a primarily wet and rainy country, we all know how much rain we get each year. Often, gardens are flooded, drenched in water, and sometimes unusable for days while waiting for the water to be absorbed or dry up in the sun.  

Why not discuss the installation of a soakaway system? Our friendly team is happy to answer any questions and offer advice, but first, let’s take a look at what a soakaway system is and how we can help you battle the rain. 

What is Soakaway?

Soakaway systems have been used for a long time in the UK to deal with the large levels of rainfall we receive each year. 

It is a system of holes dug into the ground which is then filled with plastic crates to allow water to filter through it and soak the water into the ground, hence the name ‘soakaway’, clever isn’t it?

Why use a Soakaway?

High levels of rainfall present the risk of flooding, which can lead to the damage of property and goods and high levels of disruption as flood water is being dealt with.  

Installing a soakaway system is a way of controlling higher levels of rainfall. Instead of rainwater gathering in large amounts, the soakaway system takes the water and slowly disperses it.  

DrainLocal Installation

Installing a soakaway system is recommended to be carried out by professional and experienced teams. Here are DrainLocal, we have several years of experience installing and maintaining soakaway systems for clients. 

We will conduct a detailed analysis of your property to ensure it is suitable and viable enough to install a soakaway system. Our expert team will work hard to install an effective system that will yield great results during rainfall. 

Soakaway Maintenance

Alongside installing soakaway systems, DrainLocal Bournemouth can also carry out soakaway maintenance, help clear blocked soakaways and help provide regular service to the systems to ensure they work adequately all year round.  

We are always on hand to offer advice and support before, during, and after your soakaway installation. Don’t hesitate to contact our friendly team should you have a question about your system. 

Commercial or Domestic Use

Soakaway systems can be installed within domestic premises, usually in rear gardens and commercial properties.

Our experienced team will work with you closely to ensure your requirements are met, but we will also work with government legislation in mind to provide an effective and adequate system is installed.  

Get in Touch

Unsure whether a soakaway system is right for you?

Get in touch with our friendly team today to discuss your requirements. Our experts will then arrange a visit to discuss your project in more detail and will then be able to offer you a quote and an estimated timeline for completion.
