In Houghton Le Spring we are particularly good at drain surveys and investigations

There’s no doubt about it, moving home is expensive, and Houghton Le Spring Home Buyer’s structural surveys used to be relatively straightforward.

A building surveyor would attend the Houghton Le Spring house you were going to buy and undertake inspection, ranging from the entry level ‘valuation’ up to the ‘full structural’, none of which were cheap. The majority of buyers would opt for the entry level and least expensive option their mortgage lender would accept in Houghton Le Spring Tyne and Wear DH4. Against a backdrop of litigation and a compensation culture, surveyors have had no choice but to add disclaimers about anything he or she can’t actually see or inspect, especially underground services like drains.

Hence the recent additional need of a specialist drainage survey for Houghton Le Spring properties.

Partially blocked soil pipe.

"Glad I called Happy Drains when I got an issue with my downstairs toilet overflowing! Damian attended within 24 hours and got straight to it, no fuss, no "hmmmm... (you know what comes next) deep breath intake, etc..). Damian was a pro and worked his way round the problem until it got done. I'm not squeamish for these kind of jobs but I soon realised that blocked drains require professional equipment and experience! Happy customer"

Blocked drains

"We recently noticed our downstairs WC was not flushing properly, and our outside man hole, was flooding and smelt terribly. I got in contact with happy drains and they hooked someone in within the next 2 days as I requested. The guy came to site, and told me exactly what he was doing and what he thought the issue may be. He fixed it in great time and was very informative. I hope I don't need to call happy drains again, but if we ever need someone to help us in the future, we will look no further. 10/10"
