Blocked Soil & Waste Pipes in Flats

Drainage problems in flats and apartment buildings can be more complicated than a blockage in a typical house. Shared soil stacks, waste pipes and communal drainage systems can serve multiple properties, making it important to identify where the problem is before deciding how it should be cleared or repaired.

Clear Drain Services investigates and clears drainage problems in flats and apartment buildings across Wirral, Ellesmere Port, Cheshire and Merseyside. From a blocked waste pipe within an individual apartment to problems affecting shared drainage systems, our team has the equipment and experience to investigate the cause.

Extended high-pressure jetting lines allow us to reach difficult blockages across long pipe runs and within larger buildings.

CCTV Drain Investigation

Specialist CCTV equipment helps us investigate pipework and locate blockages, damage and recurring drainage faults.

Drain Tracing & Detection

Electronic tracing equipment helps locate drainage routes and identify where problems are occurring within complex systems.
Frequently Asked Questions

Can you clear a blocked drain in a flat?

Yes. We can investigate drainage problems affecting flats and apartments, including waste pipes, soil pipes and associated drainage systems.

Why does the drain in my flat keep blocking?

Recurring blockages can indicate that the obstruction has not been completely removed or that there is an underlying problem with the pipework. Investigation may be needed to establish the cause.

Can a blocked soil pipe affect several flats?

Potentially. Where properties connect to shared soil or waste pipework, a problem within the shared system may affect more than one apartment.

Can you investigate drainage in high-rise buildings?

Yes. Clear Drain Services can investigate drainage problems in multi-storey buildings. We recently attended a blockage affecting soil waste pipework on the 17th floor of a building in New Brighton.

Do you work with property management companies?

Yes. We provide drainage investigation, clearance and repair services for landlords, managing agents and other organisations responsible for residential buildings.
