Some drainage issues go beyond standard unblocking. When pipes are heavily silted, flooded, or full of debris, specialist equipment is required to clear the system safely and effectively. At Happy Drains, we provide professional tanker services designed to handle more demanding drainage situations — quickly, efficiently, and with minimal disruption.
For more challenging work, we operate our CityFlex combination vacuum tanker — designed specifically for urban and restricted-access environments.
This specialist unit delivers the power of a full jet vac tanker, while being compact enough to operate in tight spaces such as construction sites, industrial estates, access roads, and height-restricted areas.
Key capabilities include:
Our tanker services are used to efficiently remove heavy debris and manage complex drainage issues across domestic and commercial sites. We regularly assist with:
All waste — hazardous and non-hazardous — is safely transported and disposed of at licensed facilities.
We discuss the type and size of system, access arrangements and any specific waste disposal needs.
Our tanker arrives fully equipped with vacuum and jetting capabilities, operated by trained and certified engineers.
We vacuum out accumulated silt, grease, debris and wastewater, then jet the pipe walls clean under high pressure.
All waste is transported and disposed of at a licensed facility, with full documentation provided.
Happy Drains is independently vetted, monitored and approved by the UK's leading trade bodies and trust schemes.
Tanker work is priced per visit, based on tank capacity required, access, distance and the type of waste. We provide a fixed, upfront quote once we know what's involved — call us with the site details for an accurate figure.
For emergencies — flooding, sewage spills, blocked car parks — we can typically have a tanker on site within a few hours. Routine planned work is scheduled at a time that suits you.
Our CityFlex combination tanker handles silt, grease, sludge, flood water, sewage and storm waste. We can transport both hazardous and non-hazardous liquid waste, and dispose of it at licensed facilities with full documentation.
Yes. We issue a waste transfer note for every tanker job, with disposal evidence from the licensed treatment facility. This is essential for businesses that need to demonstrate Duty of Care compliance.
Yes. Our CityFlex tanker is purpose-built for restricted-access work — narrow streets, low bridges, height-limited car parks and inner-city sites. We carry 60m of jetting hose and 30m of vacuum hose to reach awkward drainage points.
We adjust the working pressure to suit the pipe material and condition. For older clay or pitch fibre runs we'll often CCTV-survey first and use a lower pressure or mechanical clearance to avoid stressing fragile pipework.
