Drain clearance at home

"We had an excellent experience with Happy Drains. We called in very worried about an overflowing gully, they sent a specialist over the next morning and he fixed our problem with no fuss even though it was not completely straightforward. He took initiative and solved the problem. He notified the sewer company as well who came just two days later to fix things on their end. (Though as far as our issue went it was already fixed on day 1!) it took less than an hour and we're very happy with the result! Smooth and professional process throughout, we would highly recommend them."

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.

Building an extension?
- need a CCTV Drain Survey?

If you are doing building work over the top of or within 3 metres of a ‘Thames Water’ public sewer or drain you must ensure that no damage or restrictions are made to the ‘Thames Water’ drainage assets.

Drain clearing

"Great quick service, photos sent of clearance, good prices, easy to contact. Would recommend and use again"

Clearance of a blockage at bottom of soil stack (Berkshire)

"Excellent service. I had previously tried another well known national contractor, but they lied about sorting the problem and their followup customer service was poor. HOWEVER Happy Drains enginners were friendly, competent and explained everything they were doing. Ultimately they sorted out what was a difficult to reach blockage underground, where the previous company had failed. I would not hesitate to call Happy Drains first if/when the need arises in future."

Clear blocked drains

"I'm a very satisfied customer. They can when I asked, arrived on time. Took time to hear my problem and set to the task. They had it done in a jiffy, but took the time to ensure other drains where not effected."

Drain clearing as water backing up in kitchen

"Excellent service. Extremely efficient and professional. Cleared the problem quickly and I was very impressed by the fantastic customer service. I would highly recommend Happy Drains."

Blocked kitchen drain, cleared.

"Fantastic service and a job well done. Our waste pipe in the kitchen was overflowing. I called Happy drains at around 2:30pm, the engineer arrived, fixed the problem and had gone by 3:45! Great service!"

Clearing a blocked / slow draining kitchen sink

"I called Happy drains regarding my blocked sink which has started blocking my dishwasher too.I think I must have spoken to Emily at Customer service and she was very polite and explained the process to me. I got a plumber in my house in less that 2 hours! He managed to unblock the pipes super quick and made sure to clean any spillages left after. I am extremely happy with the service I have gotten as I am always so scared that am going to be overcharged over something I don't understand. The process was simple, affordable and quick. I would recommend and go back if needed."
