Drain Unblocking in Callington

Callington sits between Kit Hill and the Tamar Valley, one of the closest towns to our base near Saltash, which makes it about as local as a call-out gets for us. The town mixes older stone cottages and terraces around the centre with post-war streets and newer estates on the edges, and each generation of housing blocks in its own way. DCI Drainage clears blocked drains across Callington and can usually attend the same day, often within hours. Call us on 07418 000 420.

Why Callington Drains Block

The older properties around Fore Street and the church run on clay pipework laid long before anyone imagined wet wipes, and age has left it with shifted joints and rough surfaces that catch everything passing through. On the estates built since the war, the drains are younger but settlement over the decades creates low spots where waste sits between flushes. Outside the town itself, plenty of properties towards the Tamar Valley run on long private drains and septic systems, where a blockage can sit unnoticed until it becomes a flood.

The blockages we clear most often around Callington are:

Fat and grease set hard in kitchen drains
Wipes and sanitary products caught on aged clay joints
Root ingress from hedges and mature trees along garden runs
Settled sections on estate drainage where waste collects
Long rural runs to septic tanks silting up gradually

If one drain keeps blocking, the blockage is the symptom and something in the pipe is the cause. A camera survey finds it, and we explain the result in plain English before recommending anything.

Blocked Drain Callington: How We Clear It

Because Callington is minutes up the road from us, we often clear blockages here faster than a national firm can return the phone call. We carry rods, high-pressure jetting and CCTV as standard. Simple soft blockages are rodded through; grease, scale and root growth are jetted out along the full length of the pipe, which stops the same blockage reforming a few weeks later.

Our drainage services in Callington include:

Drain unblocking for homes, farms, rented property and businesses
Drain jetting to restore the full bore of greasy or rooted pipes
CCTV drain survey inspections for repeat blockages and house purchases
Drain repair where the camera finds cracks, displaced joints or collapse
Blocked toilet, sink and shower clearance
Emergency drainage call-outs when waste water is backing up
