How fast can you unblock a drain in Old-basing?
We aim to arrive at Old-basing properties typically within 30-45 minutes. Once on site, most drain unblocking jobs are completed within one to two hours depending on the nature and location of the obstruction.

No. We never charge a call-out fee for drain unblocking in Old-basing or anywhere else across Basingstoke and surrounding areas. You only pay for the work carried out, and we confirm the price before we start.
Should I try to unblock the drain myself before calling you?
Simple blockages near the plughole may respond to a plunger or drain cleaner. However, if water is backing up from external drains or multiple fixtures are affected, professional equipment is needed. Attempting to rod shared drainage incorrectly can push the blockage further downstream.
