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

Blocked sewerage drains
"Happy Drains receptionist quickly arrange a visit the following morning to unblock our drains. We received a call 45 mins before arrival and the drains which had been blocked for 48 hours were unblocked within a few minutes, which was excellent as man hole covers in a neighbours garden were opened and showed that the drains were being exclusively used by our house. Excellent job by Happy Drains. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again. Quick polite and courteous."

Plymouth and Devon drain services from a firm receiving great feedback...

Heavily blocked waste pipes.
"Fantastic service and employees. Arranging the appointment was exceptionally easy as the people on the phones were friendly and efficient. Jason from Happy Drains arrived on time and even called ahead to let us know exactly when he'd be arriving. Jason was polite and friendly from beginning to end. He sorted out the problem far quicker than expected considering the dire state of the blockage. After he'd done a wonderful job he then explained exactly how it had happened in detail, what needed to be fixed and told me some preventative measures to help avoid the problem from recurring until then."
Clearing blocked rainwater drain
