Drainage services
Eight core services for homes, landlords, and commercial sites — same-day attendance where possible, transparent quotes, and work you can trust.
Drain Unblocking
A blocked drain rarely waits for a convenient moment. JW Drains delivers rapid, professional unblocking for homes and businesses across Essex, Hertfordshire, and Greater London — using high-pressure water jetting, electro-mechanical clearing, and CCTV verification so the problem is actually solved, not just pushed downstream.
Learn moreDrain Clearance
From kitchen fat build-up to commercial grease traps and outdoor gullies, our drain clearance service removes the obstruction completely. We assess the line, select the right technique, and leave your system flowing as it should — with honest advice on preventing repeat blockages.
Learn moreDrain Cleaning
Regular drain cleaning protects your property, your tenants, and your reputation. JW Drains provides scheduled cleaning programmes and one-off deep cleans using professional jetting equipment — ideal for restaurants, care homes, landlords, and homeowners who want reliability without surprises.
Learn moreDrain Repairs
Not every drainage issue is a simple blockage. We repair cracked pipes, displaced joints, root-damaged sections, and collapsed runs using techniques matched to the defect — from localised patch repairs and lining to full excavation where required. You receive a clear explanation, a fair quote, and workmanship built to last.
Learn moreCCTV Drain Surveys
Whether you are purchasing a property, planning an extension, or investigating recurring problems, our CCTV drain surveys provide high-definition footage, accurate defect reporting, and practical recommendations. We survey foul and surface water systems, identify connectivity, and deliver reports suitable for insurers, solicitors, and building control.
Learn moreSeptic Tank Services
Off-mains drainage demands specialist care. JW Drains provides septic tank emptying, servicing, pump repairs, and treatment plant support — helping homeowners and businesses stay compliant, odour-free, and fully operational. We explain your system plainly and recommend only what is genuinely needed.
Learn moreEmergency Drainage
Overflowing drains, sewage backups, and flooding cannot wait until Monday. Our emergency team operates around the clock across Essex, Hertfordshire, and London — equipped to stabilise the situation, protect your property, and implement the right fix without drama or inflated call-out tactics.
Learn morePlanned Preventative Maintenance
Reactive call-outs cost more than prevention. Our planned preventative maintenance programmes keep your drainage assets surveyed, cleaned, and documented on a schedule that suits your operation — reducing downtime, protecting compliance, and giving facilities teams one less thing to worry about.

Trusted by homeowners & businesses
My 94 year old mum has been ripped off in the past by unscrupulous traders. James was honest, fair, and incredibly respectful throughout. He explained everything clearly, worked efficiently, and left everything spotless. We would not use anyone else.
We would highly recommend James! He was able to attend the same day, diagnosed the issue with CCTV, and provided a clear plan before any work began. Professional from first call to final invoice — the standard every drainage company should meet.
