Sewer cleaning emergency service for private properties
Here at ASL, we know how frustrating it can be for a property to have sewers and drains which need cleaning or unblocking, as well as how important it is that the job should be carried out quickly and efficiently. This is why we also take pride in our private sewer cleaning services, as we can help our customers with anything they need to get their drains flowing as they should in no time at all.
Home sewer maintenance isn’t a job that can be left, as any damage could spread and become worse, leading to health hazards and costing you more to have set right in the long run. If you have a clogged sewer line and you know the fault is on your property, contact us today. We can help you clean out any drains that are within the boundaries of your home, and can even give advice on which local authority to call if the issue lies within your nearest public sewer.
Our Services for the Private Cleaning of Sewers
Most people tend to think of mains sewers when the word is mentioned, but they may not realise that they are not responsible for maintaining the sewers which serve their properties, but fall outside the boundary. The only exception to this is if you share your drains with a neighbour. If the drains or private sewers are completely within your property limits, it is up to you to get them cleaned and repaired.
We offer a range of services for the private repair and cleaning of sewers, which we are happy to carry out for our customers:
- Sewer line unblocking
- Sewer line cleaning methods
- Sewer line repair
- Sewer line replacement
As well as hiring a sewer pipe cleaning company to take care of your drains, it is important to ensure that the main sewers connected to your drains are kept in a good condition as well. If they are not cleaned out, silt that has been flushed through the system due to a lack of maintenance can be allowed to build up. This reduces the diameter of the pipes by up to 75%. In turn, surface water and wastewater from houses will become backed up in the system, leading to it overflowing.
To avoid this, it is important to know who your local water company is, as they will know how to clean the sewer line you are not responsible for. You will be able to report any problems to them, and they will carry out cleaning of any sewers outside your property boundary. Call us today if you need any of the high quality services we provide, or advice on what to do to complete the cleaning of sewers near your property.
Unblocking Sewers and Drains
When we are called to unblock your sewers, we will have a number of different methods available to us, in order to get them back to good working order. Our work may start with the use of sewer pipe cleaning rods, otherwise known as “drain rods” or “drain snakes” to feel around for the blockage to see if it can be broken up. If this works, we will flush the drain clog through with hot water to clear it entirely. We may also attempt to use wet vac, which will involve taking an industrial-strength vacuum cleaner and pumping the blockage out.
If it is found that we require a stronger sewer line cleaning method, we may also turn to high-pressure sewer cleaning to get the job done.
Sewer Drain Cleaning Using Water Jetting
The most thorough and powerful of our methods for conducting sewer drain cleaning is to give your pipes a high-pressure sewer clean. This involves using a hard jet stream of water to clean out and clear all parts of your drains, no matter what is blocking them up. Every crack and crevice will be taken care of, and the stream is even strong enough to travel around corners. It will even demolish tree roots!
It must be noted that this procedure has to be carried out by a trained and qualified professional, so if you wish to find out more about booking this service, please contact us as soon as possible.
Repairing or Replacing Your Private Sewer Pipe
We are not only a sewer pipe cleaning company. We are also more than equipped to repair pipes, either by excavation methods, or by using state-of-the-art no-dig technology to re-line the pipe. This seals up any cracks and prevents leaks from breaking out in your drains, helping them to flow as they should again.
When working out how to clean your sewer line, we may discover that your pipe is too old or damaged to be repaired. Instead, we will be happy to replace the pipe with a completely new section. This will prove to be a cost-effective method, as it means the drain will not have to be cleaned, repaired or replaced again for a long time to come.

Will Sewer Cleaning Affect Your Property?
When we carry out a sewer drain cleaning on your property, we will do everything we can to ensure that your day-to-day routine is not disturbed. This will involve keeping our work as discreet as we can make it, whether we are performing a high-pressure sewer cleaning, or using sewer pipe cleaning rods or wet vac to break up or pump out the blockage.
To help this further, we will even carry out a CCTV drain survey if you cannot locate the blockage, so that we can be more accurate and take better care of your drains. Finding out what is causing your blockage will help us to determine which sewer line cleaning method will work best, all while using a thin and flexible camera which keeps your property in as good a condition as we found it. Contact us to find out more about this service, or to book it right away if there is a problem with your drains that you need to identify.
