Internal drain survey for a property I was buying, followed by carrying out recommended repairs.

"Happy Drains' survey was comprehensive, well explained and fully evidenced with photo/videos. Their team carrying out the remedial work were friendly and completed the work quickly, with no fuss and no mess."

Our drains where blocked. I'd tried drain rods but no luck.

"Our drains where totally blocked. Toilets where backing up and couldn't even have a shower! I'm a pump engineer so I've got a rough idea how to fix this but after trying drain rods for two days straight I gave up and called the experts. The engineer turned up on time, was polite and even took the time to explain to my daughter why she shouldn't be throwing wet wipes down the toilet! He had all the latest tooling and equipment and put in a real shift. Job was done in an hour after he used a camera and found a buried man hole that was completely full! I had no idea it was even there. Great job."

Drain clearage

"I contacted the Happy Drain company and straight away was treated with really excellent service.The engineer called as promised on Tuesday and he carried out the work to clear the blocked drain quickly and efficiently and provided information on preventative measures for the future. A truly excellent company which has my highest recommendation. Thank you all at Happy Drains most sincerely.100% satisfaction."

Rats, mice, rodent and vermin drain problems

Rats will use drains just like ‘Londoners use the Tube’ simply to travel from A to B to feed and nest and they love damaged or redundant drainage systems which can allow vermin to enter properties.

If you have a rodent/vermin infestation that your rodent/vermin contractor cannot control, this may be because of a drainage issue.  We will find the defects and access points the rat may be using.   We will offer you an appropriate solution be it drain repair or the installation of a WRc tested and certified 'Anti Vermin / Non-Return Valve'.

What do our Anti Vermin/Non-Return Drain Valves do?

• Stops rats and other vermin from entering homes. In effect by fitting a stainless-steel flap, that acts as a one way swinging door allowing waste out but nothing back in.
• The rubber seal prevents noxious fumes and smells from entering properties.
• The flap has an inbuilt stainless steel plate to stop rodents biting through, providing efficient pest control.
• The valve is completely re-usable during any drain cleaning and drain maintenance purposes fully removal and re-usable.
• Stops backflow of effluent from a blocked main sewer flooding into your property back through the drainage system.
• The clever design means the flow of waste is increased when passing through the valve; reducing blockages.

The drain from the toilet was blocked.

"I came one afternoon and noticed that my driveway was full of toilet paper coming from a very blocked drain. Happy drains was able to send an engineer out the next day and successfully unblocked it (and washed everything back down the drain). I can't say for sure how my drain feels about it but I am very happy."

Garden drain

"Our garden drain had backed up somehow which then turned the flower beds into shit beds. Wayne came out, checked out the drain and found that it was coming from next doors manhole.
