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.

Clearing a blocked storm drain

"Happy Drains gave a very friendly and helpful service at a good price. They did the job efficiently and were happy to tell me how to prevent the problem in the future."

Drain blockage

"I contacted Happy Drains to arrange for my mother's drain to be unblocked. It is stressful being 200 miles from my elderly mother, who struggles to maintain her home. I am very grateful to Happy Drains for such a seamless service, as they sorted out the issue in no time and provided good advice on next steps to avoid a repeat of the problem. "

Blocked Soil Pipe

"This is a great Company. I called them at 10.30am to request a visit to sort out a blocked toilet system at my daughters place and the Engineer arrived at 3.00pm (within the time slot initially given). Within minutes he (Luke) had identified the issue and not long after, the blockage was cleared and a working toilet was restored. I would recommend these guys to anyone seeking a prompt service, provided by people who know exactly what they're doing."

Downstairs loo and sink unblocking, by jetting upstream from manhole in the garden.

"Brilliant. From the first phone call to saying goodbye. Job explained, job completed and everything works perfectly. The young guy called Tommy from Sunbury was top drawer. Going to do this jetting annually now."

Illegal connections in Houghton Le Spring and other dodgy works

During the course of any survey we will take the opportunity to make sure that all your drains are connected appropriately. 

The causes of illegal Houghton Le Spring drainage connections range from innocent DIY plumbing mistakes to poor building practices. We regularly find washing machines discharging to the Tyne and Wear rain drains and rain drains that discharge into a sewer some times because some Houghton Le Spring home owners have been unaware of the differences between surface water and foul waste drains. However the water company serving Houghton Le Spring will demand to put these issues right at your own cost.

Main drain for household waste water blocked

"Engineer arrived in good time. Could see what the problem was and removed the blockage effectively. He cleaned the area afterwards. I would be very happy to use this company again and recommend to others."

Drain clearance

"I called Happy Drains to attend to an overflowing drain manhole in our front drive. Their response on the telephone was prompt, courteous and helpful. Their engineer arrived slightly earlier than arranged, after telephoning to confirm that this would be acceptable. He fixed the problem in less than 30 minutes, and checked that everything was satisfactory before leaving. "

Severe drain blockage cleared fast

"We used the Basingstoke branch, and I couldn't be happier. We had a severe blockage in our main waste pipe due to previous owners dumping grease for years. I called in the morning, they came just after lunch. The engineer was friendly and knowledgeable and explained every step thoroughly, cheerfully answering my questions (I'm curious about everything) and did the job quickly and with a great sense of humour, letting me fill the fatburgs that flowed out. Price was brilliant too. Couldn't recommend enough. "

Blocked drain

"Amazing service. I couldn't recommend these guys highly enough. I don't have his name but the young man who came took well over 2 hours to fix our problem which had accumulated over 40 years. He kept everything tidy, was courteous and professional and just when I thought we were going to be left with a major problem his persistence & experience saved the day."
