Drain services for homes & businesses

Let’s be honest — drains aren’t something most people think about until they start misbehaving. One minute everything’s flowing perfectly, the next your sink’s making strange gurgling noises, your shower’s turning into a paddling pool, and your toilet has become your worst nightmare!

But fear not! At TWC Draincare Ltd, we’ve seen it all, fixed it all, and even laughed about it (after the smell cleared, of course). Based in Thirsk, we cover Yorkshire, the North East and North Lincolnshire, tackling drain dramas big and small for homes, businesses, and everything in between.

Here’s a look at some of the most common drain problems we encounter — and how our expert engineers come to the rescue!

💧 The Most Common One: Blocked Drains

We’ve all had (or know someone who’s had) a blocked drain. A blocked drain is the number one reason we get called out. Whether it’s food waste, grease, wipes, or the occasional child’s toy (you’d be amazed), blockages can build up and cause water to back up faster than you can say “where’s that smell coming from?”

At TWC Draincare, we don’t just clear the blockage — we find out why it happened. Our engineers use high-pressure water jetting to clear obstructions quickly and safely, leaving your drains squeaky clean and free-flowing.

Our services include:

✅ High-pressure water jetting
✅ CCTV inspections to locate the cause
✅ Preventative maintenance advice

🌳 The Sneaky One: Root Intrusion

Nature’s lovely — until your local trees start sending roots straight into your pipes in search of water. It’s one of the most common causes of cracked, displaced, and blocked drains.

Roots can squeeze their way into the tiniest joint and soon take over like they own the place. The result? Blockages, leaks, and sometimes even collapsed sections.

Luckily, our root cutting and removal service gets those pesky invaders out fast. We’ll then check for damage using a CCTV survey and carry out repairs — often without needing to dig.

We provide:

✅ Root cutting and clearance
✅ No-dig repair options
✅ CCTV inspection and reporting

🧱 The Wrinkly One: Cracked or Collapsed Drains

A crack or collapse in your drainage system might not make itself known straight away. But over time, you’ll notice tell-tale signs like persistent blockages, damp patches, or even sinkholes forming in your garden (yes, really).

Our team can diagnose structural defects with precision using our advanced CCTV equipment. Once we’ve found the issue, we’ll recommend the best fix.

We offer:

✅ CCTV inspection and diagnosis

✅ No-dig drain repair

✅ Patch repair solutions

🪣 The One That Needs to Diet: Fat, Oil & Grease (FOG) Build-Up

We’ve all heard the stories on the news about fatbergs the size of the Titanic. Whilst they may be not be lurking down your drains you’d be surprised at how often our engineers remove fatbergs from lines.

Rinsing fat down the sink may seem like an easy, harmless answer, unfortunately its not!  The oil solidifies into a nasty sludge that sticks to the inside of your pipes. Add a bit of food waste, soap scum, and time, and suddenly you’ve created your very own drain-clogging monster.

Our high-pressure jetting and cleaning services can break down and flush away FOG build-up before it causes chaos. We also offer regular maintenance plans for commercial kitchens and food businesses to help keep things flowing.

We provide:

✅ Drain cleaning and descaling
✅ Regular maintenance schedules
✅ Advice to help prevent future build-up

🔍 The Wonky One: Displacements and Open Joints

We’ve all heard the old saying about a chain only being as strong as its weakest link, and the same is true of drain lines. 

Drain lines are made up of lots of short pipes all joined together. Over time pipes can move (particularly where there’s been building works) which can cause the joints that connect the pipes to shift.

This causes what we call displacements and open joints. Essentially this means that the connection between the two pipes is no longer smooth – instead there’s a gap, or a lip, between them which catches waste and causes things to back up.

Once we’ve cleared a blockage our engineers will inspect your line using CCTV equipment to see what’s caused the problem. If it’s a displacement or an open joint then you’ll likely need to do some further work to prevent things from getting worse.

We provide:

✅ CCTV Drain Inspections
✅ Expert advice on how to keep things running smoothly
✅Repair works to fix the problem
