Think It’s Just a Slow Drain? The Hidden Dangers Lurking Underground

You might shrug off a slow sink or an occasional gurgle from the toilet. But what if these are early signs of something much bigger — and far more expensive — happening below ground?

What Seems Small Could Be Serious

Blocked or slow drains are usually caused by something much deeper than just hair or kitchen grease. Left unchecked, you could be facing:

  • Collapsed pipes caused by age or heavy surface pressure

  • Tree root ingress, cracking your drain system from the inside

  • Hidden leaks, slowly damaging the structure of your property

We’ve seen it all — and often it starts with a trickle and ends in a flood.

Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late

While a quick camera check might give you a vague idea, only a Full Drain Report provides:

  • Video footage showing exactly what’s happening

  • A written summary you can use for repairs or insurance

  • Peace of mind from a qualified expert
