The Specialists for Drain Unblocking in Kent

Kent has all sorts of drainage setups. Some properties still rely on older clay pipework, while others have modern plastic drains, pump stations, soakaways or septic tanks. That mix means the cause of a blockage is not always obvious. At Jonny’s Drains, we see everything from rainwater backing up after heavy downpours to roots pushing into pipe joints, fat and grease build-up, damaged sections, collapsed drains and systems that have simply been left alone for too long. That is why we don’t just turn up and guess. A proper investigation helps us understand whether it is a straightforward blockage or a sign of something more serious further down the line.

Common Kent Drainage Issues

Drainage problems often depend on the age, location and type of property. Older towns and villages commonly have clay drains with cracks, displaced joints or root ingress. In newer developments, issues can come from construction debris, poor falls, wipes, fat build-up or waste being put down the wrong drains.

Commercial properties will often have different pressures. If you run a restaurant, café, pub, hotel or takeaway, then you might have to contend with grease and food waste. Offices, schools, care homes and shops will often face toilet blockages, urinal scale, pump problems or surface water issues. And no matter your premises, heavy rain can quickly expose weak points. Gullies overflow, surface water backs up and partially blocked drains can fail completely.

It’s important to act quick… and that’s where we can help. We’re on hand for any blocked drains or drain repairs in Kent 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Drain Unblocking

Blocked toilet not clearing? Shower tray filling up? Kitchen sink starting to back up?

This is the sort of callout we deal with every day.

We only use the best gear. That means professional drain jetting, drain rods and specialist clearance equipment which will quickly get to work on blocked drain. It might be a toilet that won’t flush, a bath that refuses to run empty, a sink full of dirty water or an outside drain overflowing across the ground.

Whatever the situation, we respond quickly to domestic and commercial drainage emergencies. We clear blockages caused by fat build-up, tree roots, hair, soap residue, foreign objects, wet wipes and general waste sitting where it should not be.

CCTV Drain Surveys

We inspect your drainage system with our CCTV drain survey equipment to identify blockages, damage, and structural issues.

Our high-resolution camera surveys provide detailed footage of your drains, helping us diagnose problems accurately without unnecessary excavation.

Drain Lining

If your drainage system has previously been lined but it has failed, or your drains are damaged but accessible, drain relining offers a cost-effective, no-dig solution.

Our drain relining service extends the life of your drains by decades, with minimal disruption to your property.

Drain Repairs

If your drain is cracked, broken or has collapsed, we can repair it. And that can be done several ways, depending on the issue. Sometimes that means a local patch repair. Or it could be that the drain may need excavating and replacing. Depending on the condition of the pipework, where the damage is, and the access – will result in the solution. But rest assured – we assess the problem professionally before recommending anything or incurring you cost.

From small cracks and damaged joints to collapsed pipe runs, we carry out practical drain repairs that get the system working again without making the job bigger than it needs to be.

Septic Tank Installation

Some properties we visit are not connected to mains drainage. This is particularly common in rural areas or older buildings. Jonny’s Drains can install septic tanks for properties that need an off-mains drainage solution. We look at the site, access, ground conditions and what the property needs before the work starts. Our team handles the installation properly from start to finish, including the practical checks and regulatory requirements involved.

If a septic tank has not been installed properly, problems can show up quickly, from bad smells and slow drainage. More serious issues such as discharge and soakaway performance can also develop.

Smoke Testing

Are you experiencing strange odours? Our pressurised smoke testing service helps identify defects in your drainage system, including cracked pipes, faulty connections, and unauthorised connections to your drains.

We pump harmless smoke through the drainage system to help find where the problem is coming from. We soon get an idea of what needs attention, as smoke escapes through a crack, faulty connection, open joint or defect – so we know where to focus our attention. It is a brilliant and non-invasive way to detect drainage issues without digging up ground and pipework unless needed.

Water & Sewage Pump Installation & Repair

We can install pump stations, wet well chambers and control units for both residential and commercial properties.

Our pumping solutions can help with everything from basement drainage to sewage lifting systems. We can also provide maintenance and emergency repairs so your pumping systems run reliably around the clock.

Commercial Drain Cleaning

Commercial drains work hard – We offer commercial drain cleaning with flexible scheduling, preventative maintenance and rapid emergency response when something goes wrong.
