Serious blocked toilet
"We hv a great and professional service conducted by Mr. Damian (at Sutton) under Happy Drains company this morning .. Damian is so professional and patient to fix our serious blocked toilet within 45 mins .. great job ?'??'?. B. Rgds / wendy "
INitially cleared blockage but found root mass in the sewer so cleared that as well
"Not used this company before but when I was unable to clear a blockage in my sewer line I gave them a call. They were responsive and the engineer just got to work, identified where the sewer ran then blasted it clear. The sewer was running again within 15 mins. The knowledgeable engineer said he believed there were roots in the sewer as he could "feel" them. A camera run showed the root mass and where located. He blasted the roots from the inside then found that the majority were ingressing through the side of the sump on one of the manholes so cleared those too. Highly recommend this company"
