High pressure drain jetting is a powerful drain cleaning method that uses specialist water jetting equipment to remove grease, scale buildup, debris, tree roots and stubborn blockages from drainage systems. Drain jetting helps restore proper water flow and can also be used as preventative drainage maintenance.
Yes, blocked drains often cause unpleasant odours inside or outside a property. Wastewater and trapped debris inside the drainage system can create foul smells, especially if the blockage is left untreated. A professional drain inspection can identify and remove the cause of the problem.
CCTV drain surveys use specialist camera equipment inserted directly into the drainage system to inspect pipes internally. This allows drainage engineers to identify blockages, cracks, collapsed drains, root intrusion and other hidden drainage issues without excavation.
Yes, we provide commercial drainage services for businesses, landlords, property managers, industrial premises and commercial properties throughout Shropshire and the West Midlands. We can assist with blocked drains, preventative maintenance, CCTV surveys and emergency drainage callouts.

Toilet Unblocking
Common signs of a blocked toilet include slow flushing, rising water levels, gurgling noises, unpleasant smells and water backing up into the bowl. If you notice any of these issues, it's important to arrange professional toilet unblocking before the blockage becomes worse.
Blocked toilets are often caused by excessive toilet paper, wet wipes, sanitary products, nappies, children's toys or a build-up of waste within the pipework. Tree root intrusion and damaged drains can also contribute to recurring toilet blockages.
Yes, Salop Drain Services offers fast response toilet unblocking services for domestic and commercial customers. If your toilet is overflowing, completely blocked or causing disruption to your property, our engineers can quickly identify and resolve the problem.
Our experienced drainage specialists use professional equipment to safely remove blockages from toilets and connected drain systems. Depending on the cause of the blockage, we may use drain rods, high-pressure water jetting or CCTV drain inspections to ensure the issue is fully resolved.
If your toilet regularly becomes blocked or the problem returns after unblocking, a CCTV drain survey can help identify underlying issues such as collapsed drains, root ingress or pipe damage. This allows us to recommend the most effective long-term solution.

Root Removal
Tree roots in drains can cause a range of drainage problems, including slow-draining sinks, blocked toilets, recurring drain blockages, foul odours and overflowing manholes. If you're experiencing any of these issues, Salop Drain Services can carry out a CCTV drain survey to identify tree root ingress and recommend the most effective drain root removal solution.
Tree roots are naturally attracted to water and nutrients found within drainage systems. Even the smallest crack or defective pipe joint can allow roots to enter your drains, where they continue to grow and create stubborn blockages. Professional tree root removal can prevent further damage and restore normal flow within your drainage system.
Yes, tree roots are one of the most common causes of damaged drains. As roots grow inside pipes, they can cause cracks, displaced joints and even collapsed drains. Salop Drain Services provides expert root removal and drain repair services to prevent costly structural damage and keep your drainage system operating efficiently.
Our drain root removal specialists use professional root cutting equipment and high-pressure drain jetting to safely remove roots from drain pipes. We can then perform a CCTV drain inspection to confirm the blockage has been cleared and identify any repairs needed to prevent future tree root ingress.
