Unblocking of kitchen sink
Paul was extremely professional and very tidy clearing up afterwards
Fixed the problem with efficiency and professionalism.
I happy to recommend this company. They were easy to contact and the engineer came when they said. They charged a fixed price which included what needed to be done to fix the problem which took away any uncertainty about the cost. The engineer fixed the problem efficiently at the visit and gave a report of what was found and done. Five stars!
Blocked Soil Pipe
This is a great Company. I called them at 10.30am to request a visit to sort out a blocked toilet system at my daughters place and the Engineer arrived at 3.00pm (within the time slot initially given). Within minutes he (Luke) had identified the issue and not long after, the blockage was cleared and a working toilet was restored. I would recommend these guys to anyone seeking a prompt service, provided by people who know exactly what they're doing.

Our engineers cover Dunmow CM6 and Stansted CM24 with local knowledge of access routes
Call Now: 07824 757572Dunmow's market town heritage means many properties still rely on Victorian-era drainage systems that weren't designed for modern usage patterns. The town centre's narrow streets and established trees create unique access challenges for drainage work. Our engineers understand how to navigate these constraints while preserving the character of historic properties. We've developed specialized techniques for upgrading period drainage systems without major excavation work.
Properties on Dunmow's outskirts often depend on private drainage systems including septic tanks and treatment plants. The local clay soil affects percolation rates and can cause seasonal drainage issues during Essex's wet winters. Our team understands Environment Agency regulations specific to this area and can advise on system upgrades or replacements. We maintain strong relationships with local suppliers for specialized rural drainage components.
Newer housing developments around Dunmow present different challenges, with some suffering from poor initial installation or inadequate system design. Surface water drainage can be problematic during heavy rainfall due to increased hard surfacing. Our engineers regularly work on warranty issues for newer properties and understand the common faults in recent construction. We use latest diagnostic equipment to identify problems quickly and provide lasting solutions.

Dunmow's mix of older and newer housing creates varied drainage challenges - period properties often suffer root intrusion from mature trees, while modern developments can experience issues with inadequate gradients or poor installation. Kitchen waste and wet wipes are common culprits across all property types. The local clay soil can also contribute to structural movement affecting underground pipes over time.
Absolutely recommended for Dunmow properties, especially older homes near the historic town centre where drainage systems may not have been updated for decades. A CCTV survey can reveal hidden problems that could cost thousands later. With Dunmow's active property market, a clean drainage report gives buyers confidence and can prevent costly surprises after completion.

For public sewers and water supply issues in Dunmow, contact Anglian Water who manage the region's water infrastructure. However, if you're unsure whether the problem is your private drain or the public sewer, we can quickly identify the responsibility boundary using our CCTV equipment. Many Dunmow drainage issues occur where private drains connect to the public system.
Many period properties in central Dunmow still have original Victorian clay drainage pipes that can crack, allowing root intrusion from the town's numerous mature trees. These older systems also have smaller diameter pipes and shallower gradients compared to modern installations. Combined with decades of minor repairs and modifications, older Dunmow drains require more frequent maintenance but can be effectively modernized using our no-dig relining techniques.
