Blocked drains
We had returned home from work to find drains blocked. Called happy drains after reading reviews on check a trade. Chap was very helpful, tried to get an engineer out that evening but no joy. Instead called me straight back to organise first thing in the morning. Gave an eta between 8am and 9am.Gentleman called well before 8am to say will be with you in 25 mins. Gent arrived very friendly, efficient and professional. All sorted super quick. I work in customer service so to deal with professional, friendly people was a joy. Congratulations and thank you.

Our engineers are positioned to serve Farnham GU9 and surrounding areas efficiently
Call Now: 07824 757572Farnham's rich architectural heritage brings unique drainage considerations, with many properties in GU9 featuring original Victorian and Edwardian pipe systems. These older clay pipes are particularly susceptible to root ingress from the town's mature tree population and can suffer from joint displacement due to Surrey's expansive clay soil. Our 20+ years of experience across the region means we understand exactly how these historic systems behave and the most effective modern solutions for maintaining them.
The heavy clay soil throughout Farnham and surrounding Surrey areas significantly affects drainage performance, particularly during wet periods when the ground becomes saturated. This soil type can cause pipe movement, joint separation, and surface water flooding issues that require specialist knowledge to resolve effectively. We've developed specific techniques for working with these challenging ground conditions, ensuring lasting repairs that account for seasonal ground movement.
Newer developments around Farnham often feature more complex drainage systems, including sustainable drainage solutions and shared private sewers that require different maintenance approaches. Our team regularly services these modern installations alongside traditional systems, providing expertise across the full spectrum of drainage technology found in GU9. This comprehensive knowledge ensures we can handle any drainage challenge, from period property blockages to contemporary system maintenance.

Thames Water manages both water supply and sewerage services for Farnham and the wider Surrey area. However, for internal drainage problems within your property boundary in GU9, you'll need specialist drainage contractors like ourselves rather than the water company.
Farnham's abundant mature trees create significant leaf fall, which combines with the area's clay soil to form stubborn blockages in surface water drains. Additionally, autumn rainfall can overwhelm aging drainage systems that have accumulated debris over summer, making this our busiest season for emergency callouts across GU9.
