Fast Help for Blocked Toilets, Sinks and Showers

Is your bath taking ages to empty or your toilet threatening to overflow?A blocked sink or shower might start as a minor annoyance, but it can quickly turn into a household disaster. Most people try a bit of shop-bought drain cleaner first, but these often just mask the problem rather than fixing it. We use professional-grade tools to shift stubborn clogs caused by hair, soap scum, or the dreaded 'fatberg' in the kitchen. If your toilet is backed up, don't panic. Our engineers are experts at clearing blocked toilets quickly and hygienically, making sure your bathroom is back in action with minimal fuss.It's not just the indoor pipes we handle, either. If your outside drains are overflowing with leaves, silt, or debris, we've got the kit to clear those too. We provide residential drainage services that cover every pipe in your property, ensuring your wastewater goes where it is supposed to. No job is too small for our team, and we pride ourselves on leaving your home as tidy as we found it.

Who We Are

CCTV Drain Surveys Find the Hidden Faults

Ever wondered what is actually going on inside your pipes?Sometimes, a drain keeps blocking no matter how many times you clear it. That's usually a sign that something more serious is happening underground, like tree root ingress or a cracked pipe. Our advanced CCTV drain surveys allow us to see exactly what the issue is without digging up your garden. We send a high-tech camera down the line to provide a crystal-clear view of the pipe's condition. This is perfect for homebuyer drain surveys if you're moving house in the North East, or for build-over surveys if you're planning an extension.Once we've finished the inspection, we don't just leave you with a 'maybe.' You'll get a detailed report and a recording of the footage, along with our honest advice on the best way to fix any issues we find. Whether it's a minor fracture or a more significant structural problem, our camera tech ensures we find the fault fast, saving you time and money on unnecessary repairs.

Answers to common questions about our Drainage

Why Choose Clear Drain NE?

When you have a drainage issue, you need a company you can trust. We are a truly local, family-run business, not a distant national chain. This means you get a personal service from people who care about their reputation in the community. With our 24/7 availability and no call-out fee policy, we make sure you aren't left in the lurch. We use state-of-the-art equipment to find the root cause of your problem, providing lasting solutions rather than just quick fixes. Our pricing is always upfront and honest, so there are no surprises when the job is done.

How quickly can you reach me for a blocked drain in Durham?

Because we are based in Coxhoe, we can usually get to most locations in Durham very quickly. We aim to respond to emergencies as fast as possible to prevent any further damage to your property.

Do you cover areas outside of Durham like Tyne and Wear or the Tees Valley?

Yes, we serve a wide area across the North East. This includes Sunderland, Newcastle, and Gateshead in Tyne and Wear, as well as Middlesbrough, Stockton, and Hartlepool in the Tees Valley. If you are within about 20 miles of Durham, we are your local experts.

Is there really no call-out fee even for emergency unblocking?

That is correct. We do not believe in charging you just for turning up. Whether it is the middle of the night or a bank holiday, you only pay for the time and materials used to fix your drainage problem.

What exactly is a CCTV drain survey and do I need one?

It is a process where we send a camera down your pipes to see their condition. You might need one if you have a blockage that keeps coming back, or if you are buying a house and want to make sure the drains are in good health before you sign the contract.

How do I know if my drain is actually broken or just blocked?

If we clear a blockage and it returns almost immediately, or if you notice damp patches and sinkholes in your garden, the pipe might be cracked or collapsed. A quick camera inspection is the best way to find out for sure without guessing.

What is the benefit of drain jetting over using shop-bought chemicals?

Chemicals often only burn a small hole through a blockage and can damage your pipes over time. High-pressure jetting strips the entire pipe clean of grease and debris, making it much harder for a new blockage to form.

Are you fully insured to work on my property?

Yes, we hold full public liability insurance and our team is highly qualified. We take safety and the protection of your home or business very seriously.
