Having dealt with numerous contractors the service and courtesy accorded to me efficiently and astutely by Holly and Ben (engineers) was exemplary.
I couldn’t recommend Environ property services enough! I requested at call back at 7am for a pest control issue at my home. By 8:45am I had a slot.
Highly recommend this company! After we travelled back through Asia we picked up some nasty little critters, however Environ came out and with no.
Why Sewer Cleaning Saves Money
All sewers need regular cleaning but sewer cleaning in London is particularly important. Many London homes have been around for years and weren’t necessarily built to handle modern expectations - especially as climate change leads to more and more extreme weather events. As such blockages have become increasingly common and this is a real problem for homeowners.
Sewer blockages are a short-term issue both because they can lead to flooding and because they can be expensive and time-consuming to repair. They’re even more serious as a long-term issue however because the damage they can cause might extend further than you realise, leading to unforeseen knock-on effects.
This is particularly true in built-up areas where sewers and other infrastructure tend to be more compact.
How Often Should You Get Your Sewers Cleaned
If you’re having any issues with your sewers/drainage system then the answer to that question is simple: as soon as possible. Never let the problem build up because, if left unchecked, it can only get worse.
That said, assuming no obvious symptoms of blockage, you should still look into having your sewers cleaned once every year or two to ensure that you don’t get any nasty, unexpected surprises.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Drain jetting costs between £70 and £175 on average. Drain jetting is the most effective technique a professional drainage repair service provider in London can use. It thoroughly removes any obstructions, resulting in clear pipes and eliminating immediate drain issues. The process also removes other debris that’s building up along the length of the pipe, preventing further problems in future.
While some plumbers will attempt to tackle a blocked drain, their expertise mainly lies with water coming into your home rather than going out of it. So a plumber can fix dripping taps, install a new sink or repair leaky pipes internally. But a drainage services company is better to resolve issues with drains and wastewater leaving your property.
If your sink is blocked or your toilet is overflowing, you can call a plumber, but if it’s your drains that are clogged, emitting a bad smell or can’t be unclogged with a plunger, it’s time to call a local drainage service. They have the equipment and experience to resolve larger problems.
Drainage companies offer a variety of services, from the installation of drainage systems to homes and businesses to resolving problems with existing systems. Good drainage companies will use CCTV inspection to evaluate the state of existing pipes and can remove blockages, suggesting replacement or repairs to pipework when necessary.
A drainage system is a series of channels that carry excess water away from humans, animals, or plants. There are two main types in UK homes:
- Surface drainage systems: including downspouts, gullies in your garden, and linear drains – carrying away excess rainwater.
- Grey water systems: including your kitchen and bathroom wastewater from sinks, toilets, baths and showers.
Drainage removes excess water away from the property. Rainwater is drained away to prevent standing water which can cause soil erosion and damage the fabric of your home. Grey water from kitchens and bathrooms is conducted into the main sewage system for cleaning and purifying. Without drainage, homes would flood or become contaminated with sewage.
