Lexden Blocked Drains, Rodded and Jetted

Blocked drains at Lexden addresses are cleared by Just Drainage, the drainage firm run by Jace Eriera from Harwich. The team attends, assesses the line on site to locate the obstruction along what are often long private runs, then clears it by professional drain rodding or high pressure water jetting.

Lexden sits west of the town centre and is one of the older, greener parts of Colchester. Large Victorian and Edwardian villas stand well back behind mature trees, on plots generous enough that the drain run from the house out to the street can be a long one. Length matters when something goes wrong, because there is simply more pipe for a build up to settle in.

Those same tree lined roads are why Lexden produces more than its share of autumn drainage calls. Leaf fall goes straight into open gullies and packs down into a mat, water sits where it ought to be running away, and the householder sees a flooded gully rather than the obstruction sitting further down the line. An assessment on site sorts one from the other.

Much of the original drainage here is clay, laid when the houses were built and still doing its job. It takes rodding and jetting perfectly well when it is sound, but it is not modern plastic and it should not be treated as though it were. We look at what is actually there first, then decide which method the line will take.

The job starts with a diagnosis rather than a guess. Describe the symptoms on the phone, and the team will work out on site what is actually happening on the line before anything else. Suitable internal and external blockages are then cleared using professional rodding or high-pressure water jetting, whichever suits the pipe run. If the assessment turns up something beyond a blockage, you will be told what has been found.

If you are not sure whether what you are seeing counts as a blockage, the signs of a blocked drain are worth a read first. There is also a fuller explanation of what the drain unblocking service covers, and what customers have said about the work.

Just Drainage is based in Harwich and covers Lexden from there. There is no depot or office in the town, so availability is confirmed on the phone rather than assumed. Have your postcode ready when you call 07871 247999.
