In Stafford we are particularly good at drain surveys and investigations

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

A building surveyor would attend the Stafford 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 Stafford Staffordshire ST16. 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 Stafford properties.

Blockage in ground floor wc

"The work was carried out very professionally and the problem was investigated to resolve the cause of the blockage. The final report was very detailed to explain the issue after completion of the work, which was very helpful to understand the problem. Images of the work were taken and sent in the final report with detailed actions taken. The team at Happy Drains kept me informed throughout the day of any issues."

Outside drain unblocked

"I called Happy Drains to clear an outside drain at my father's property, which had become blocked. The friendly lady that answered the phone very helpfully managed to get someone to come the next morning. I received a call prior to the workmen arriving, which was reassuring. They were friendly and very efficient; 25 minutes after they arrived the problem was resolved; brilliant! I would highly recommend this company."

Drain locating, plotting and mapping in and around Stafford

We use the latest sonde and tracing technology throughout Staffordshire, so we can plot drains by sending a camera with a pulse wave emitting sonde and plot its course with a receiver as it traverses the pipe. We will of course supply you with a comprehensive indicative map of what we've found with depths and direction.

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

Clear a blocked drain

"Wow what a great service! Messaged Happy drains at about 6pm, an engineer was round about 9.30am the following morning. He identified the problem quickly, cleared it out and implemented a solution to stop it happening again. Cost was very reasonable and as quoted. Very courteous and Knowledgeable engineer. Would 100% recommend Happy Drains."

Blocked external drain

"I had a blocked drain (external to the property). I previously had someone to look at and they explained that the drain had likely collapsed and quoted to fix (over £1k). I thought I would double check. Happy Drains visited and drain was clear within minutes (blocked trap) with no requirement to dig up garden and replace drains (or use a camera). 60 day guarantee inc in case it blocks again. Engineer was polite, friendly, cleanly dressed and professional. As he said 25 years of experience. Great job, highly recommend (and I will be recommending further)."

No fuss. On time. Job done.

"Very easy to organise the appointment to unblock a drain that we had tried and failed to clear ourselves. They were reasonably priced, stuck to their quote, the engineer was very personable, paid for their own parking and explained the issue! That's all I ask from a service company. Thank you Happy Drains."

Outside drain blocked

"Called about a rental property late afternoon, was answered straight away. They were there the next morning. I wasnt there but tennant says was happy with tidiness and courtesy. "
