Houghton Le Spring CCTV Drain Survey & Drainage Investigation
Tyne and Wear, DH4


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.

Blocked drain and toilet
"Excellent service ! Rang on a Sunday and plumber then called me back that day to discuss and arrange appointment for next day . They accessed using side gate as I had to be at work. Sent text when done and invoice included photos and all work carried out . Very pleased. I even noticed the path had been swept down a bit. Invoice was prompt and easy to pay . Would recommend and use again if needed. Price was v fair I felt . I rang another company who had triple charge and needed to access my house which would have proved tricky if I am honest . Great service. Great company."
sink waste pipe blocked
"I called happy drains with blocked sink waste, the receptionist arranged for the technicians to attend the following day informing me they would call me 30 minutes prior to arrival. The technicians did call me 30 minutes before arriving. They understood the difficulties involved with the blocked waste as the access was challenging and with patience and experience they unblocked the blockage. The guys were polite, tidy, on time, and knowledgeable. Will defiantly use happy drains again "
Toilet and drain blockage
"Chris arrived during the time that he advised and was courteous and professional. He cleared the blockage and checked to ensure there was no remaining debris. Highly recommended and would definitely call again."
Clearing out storm drains on sunken patio
"Very pleased. Harry arrived and assessed problem. Very honest and told me he could only guarantee a 50% sucess rate. On completion he seemed as happy as I was that the issue was resolved. Lovely personable guy. Thanks"

Blocked soil stack/drainage
"Thank you for a swift and professional service you provided to us, from the phone call handling to the engineers who attended our property. The area was left clean and tidy.The price was fixed and discussed on the phone Thank you "
Bathroom sink unblocked
"I attempted to unblock our bathroom sink using a plunger, then sink clearing chemicals and finally removing and confirming the u-bend was clear, all to no avail. I went on the Checkatrade website and found Happy Drains. I called and booked a plumber to come the following day. The plumber arrived as expected, was professional, polite and got to work straight away. He cleared the blockage that was further down the pipework using a wet vacuum within 10 minutes. It's been perfect ever since."
Happy drains made a happy customer
"Had a blocked down pipe that was causing gutter water to back up. Called Happy Drains on Friday afternoon and they sent someone out on Monday morning. Called prior to arrival and once he arrived he explained what he was going to do and what issues may transpire. Worked quickly and the drain was cleared in no time. Will definitely use Happy drains again if I ever have a drain problem."

Houghton Le Spring and Tyne and Wear drain services from a firm receiving great feedback...

Unblock an outside pipe
"Unfortunately the pipe was blocked with concrete which appears to have happened when the garden fence was erected. However, the tradesman wrote the reason it was blocked on the invoice which helped when I contacted the tradesmen who erected the fence."
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"
External drain for kitchen blocked
"They made arrangements easy, and kept in communication about the time of the visit. And the job was done quickly, without fuss, and with courtesy. Great job, thank you"
