What drain unblocking actually involves
Reactive call-outs for blocked sinks, toilets, gullies, manholes and main sewers. Engineers carry rods, plungers, electro-mechanical machines and high-pressure jetters on every van so the blockage gets cleared on the first visit, not booked in for a return trip.
