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!

Clearing a blocked manhole
"Tommy was excellent. Rang and got a same day appointment. Phoned ahead to confirm arrival time. Unlocked the drain quickly with a rod but followed up by jetting the drain to make sure it was entirely clear. Provided a number of good tips on how to avoid future blockage. Tommy was polite friendly and very efficient."

Drain clearance
"Happy Drains responded very quickly (next day) to our blocked external drain problem. They removed a small tree that was growing in the drain, and gave the drains a quick jet wash. Excellent service."
Incredibly helpful
"Just moved into new home &found drains blocked. Water company said couldn't come out for 3-5 days, - too long if you can't use the loo! Left message for Gary. Even though it was Sunday, he called back really quickly and talked us through what problem might be, reassured us we'd be okay overnight, and if the water company still wasn't able to attend, he'd come out Monday to fix things. Thankfully, water company engineer very helpfully appeared at 6pm and cleared things. Gary called back early Monday to check on us, and was again so helpful. Couldn't ask for someone more helpful!"
Drain Unblocking
"Fantastic, prompt service, our engineer was extremely thorough and very friendly. We had a bit a tricky blockage and have an unusual drainage system but he made sure it was all sorted. Would highly recommend! Thanks. "
