Barnard Castle Drain Locating, Mapping and Plotting
With the latest drainage tech, we can send a radio wave emitting sonde into your Barnard Castle pipework, and we can then plot its courses as it traverses the pipework. We are then able to provide you with depths and directions of the inspection chamber we have access to, and we can include these in your technical report.
We will produce a report to confirm, size, material, connections, junctions, conditions and directions of the foul drainage. Before carrying out the survey, we will assume that you will have made all chambers accessible and that the pipework is clear and without blockages.
When we carry out our surveys, we will make sure to include the areas that are your responsibility, and we will identify if the drain is shared and if any of the issues you may be having are on your boundary or not.
Leading the pack with great reviews!

Blocked drain
"My drain was blocked and I had previously called a different company to clear it but they were unsuccessful, I called happy drains and they arranged to send someone the following day. Martin arrived and managed to find the cause of the blockage and cleared it quickly and efficiently, keeping me updated with what he was doing and the root cause of the problem. Fantastic service from Martin and the team at happy drains, I will definitely be using them again in future if I have any similar issues and will not use anyone else again."

Jetting blocked drain and clean up of surrounding area
"They were professional on the phone and throughout the process. The Engineer was polite, timely, explained what he'd do and said he'd clean up the area afterwards. Job was done perfectly and their price was considerably better than others and as such represented excellent value! Hope I won't need them again (?...) but should I do, they would be my automatic choice. Heartily and unreservedly recommend them based on our experience "
