Aberdeen's granite city heritage means blocked drains can affect anything from a Victorian tenement flat in Rosemount to a commercial premises on Union Street. Our experienced engineers understand the unique drainage challenges facing properties across the city and respond quickly to restore your system to full working order.
Phone us and describe the symptoms — slow drainage, gurgling, bad smells, or standing water. We dispatch a local engineer to your Aberdeen property, arriving typically within 60 minutes.
Your engineer inspects all access points and, where necessary, deploys a CCTV drain camera to pinpoint the exact blockage location and cause inside the pipework.
Using high-pressure water jetting, mechanical rodding, or electromechanical cutting tools, we remove the obstruction completely and flush the line clean.
We run water through every affected fixture and inspect the drainage run to confirm full flow has been restored with no secondary issues.
You receive a summary of what caused the blockage and practical steps to prevent it recurring, tailored to your Aberdeen property type.
We begin with a thorough assessment of your drainage system, often using CCTV cameras to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage. Our high-pressure jetting equipment can clear even the most stubborn obstructions, and we always provide advice on preventing future blockages.

In Aberdeen we frequently encounter older granite tenement buildings with shared drainage systems and victorian clay pipes susceptible to root ingress and joint failure. Properties such as granite tenement flats, Victorian granite villas, modern apartments, and commercial premises can be particularly susceptible due to ageing pipework and mature vegetation.
