Will it damage my old pipes?

No. The head only takes off what's stuck to the walls. If the camera shows pipework too far gone, we'll tell you rather than do it anyway.

How often does it need doing?

For a house, usually once and then it's done for years. Commercial kitchens are better on a schedule.

Drain Descaling

In older pipework, rust and hardened grease build up on the walls until the pipe is a fraction of the size it started as. Clearing the blockage lasts a few months; taking the walls back is what fixes it.

Sound familiar?

It blocks every few months no matter what you do
It's an older building — cast iron or original clay
Water goes away slowly, and always has done
A camera showed a rough, narrowed pipe rather than a blockage

How we do it

1

We look first

Is it a blockage, or a pipe that's closed up over the years?
2

We take the walls back

A chain head scours off what water alone can't shift.
3

We flush it out

So none of it settles further down and blocks that instead.
