Comprehensive drain unblocking services

TCF Environmental offer a fully comprehensive drain unblocking programme to businesses in Central Scotland.

We are a one-stop-shop for businesses across Glasgow looking to resolve their drain related issues, with CCTV inspection technology to identify the root cause and high pressure jetting and drain rod application to clear even the toughest of blockages.

From the identification of blocked drains to cleaning, and then to ongoing monitoring to prevent similar problems arising again, we will be with you the whole way providing a simple, discreet, and highly cost-effective drain management service.

Drain Maintenance

A single drainage problem can do serious damage to your company’s reputation and your property itself.

Our 24/7 emergency service will ensure any issues are dealt with as quickly and discreetly as possible but taking precautions to ensure they don’t arise in the first place is an even better option.

We offer cost effective CCTV surveys using industry leading high tech HD micro cameras that will allow you to check the current state of your pipework. Based on the findings of this survey we can conduct cleaning or repair work to prevent larger issues from arising.

We provide routine programmes of care to many businesses across Glasgow who have chosen to get ahead of the game and have their drain pipes, sink drains, and more cleaned on a regular basis to prevent blockages forming over time.

We will create a bespoke maintenance plan based purely on the specific threats faced by your property. For example, restaurants and cafes may be more at risk for blockages forming from leftover cooking oil or coffee grounds finding their way into the drainage system, whilst any property with a busy flow of customers may find wet wipes, sanitary towels, or other items other than pee, poo and toilet paper flushed down their public toilets.

Our experienced personnel have access to all the equipment that they could possibly need to conduct drain surveillance and maintenance services including HD cameras, tools to remove any drain cover, and high pressure cleaning jets.

Many companies with more than one property choose use to conduct regular cleaning of their internal and external drains on all their sites, a testament to the great work of our expert team.

As the property owner it makes sense to have a professional drainage contractor handle your drainage needs, after all, would you take a risk with any other aspect of your business that poses such a big potential threat.

Whose responsibility is drain unblocking?

If a blocked drain occurs outside your business’s property boundary, it is the responsibility of the local water company or sewer network management firm to have them cleaned.

You have no obligation to maintain or repair these drains, but there is a chance that blocked or defective drains are responsible for water draining slowly inside your property.

If it is a private drain on your property itself your company is likely to be the responsible party.

Often, it is hard to tell where the blockage is located, in private drains or public sewers, but we can quickly identify this with a CCTV survey. If the problem is within the property boundary we will resolve the matter using high pressure jet cleaning or another one of our professional cleaning solutions.

If not, and the issue is not your responsibility, you can use the footage we provide of the blockage and the attached report to go to the responsible party, be it another business, local council or local authority responsible for the public sewer and ensure they take action.

This report can also be used for insurance purposes if the drainage problems are covered under your policy.

How to spot a blocked drain?

The earlier a blocked drain is spotted, the easier it will be to clean, and the lower the risk of a burst pipe or significant disruption to your business operations.

As well as reminding your staff on best practice to avoid blockages such as making sure to wrap sanitary items in toilet paper and putting them in the bin rather than flushing them, you should make sure that they are aware of some of the potential signs of blocked drains to watch for.

These include:

• Toilets taking longer to flush than usual
• Water draining more slowly than before from sinks or outside drains.
• Sewage coming back up from drains or toilets – Usually a sign of a major blockage and a serious health risk that could result in problems with the health authorities or environment agency.
• Foul odours of human waste or similar coming from the drains inside your property or from an unidentified location.
• Flooding of outside areas during periods of heavy rain
• Gurgling noises coming from plug holes.
