Drains Cleared in Melksham SN12

As drain specialists we at Roman Rod are always interested in the history of sanitary science, which is perhaps why we feel at home in the busy Wiltshire town of Melksham.

Most people who live there don’t know that one of the town’s sons, Henry Moule (born in 1801) was responsible for patenting the “dry earth closet” – a type of composting bucket toilet, inspired by the need for cleaning up sanitation to prevent cholera epidemics.

Today Melksham doesn’t have to worry about cholera or even give much thought to the drains that carry away waste water from their homes and businesses – until, that is, the drains get blocked or damaged and urgent action is needed. When that happens we’re on call to provide rapid, reliable and efficient help with:

Bathroom blockages in Melksham
We clear clogged plugholes and backed up showers blocked with hair, soap scum and limescale, that are not only nasty but also a health hazard.

Toilet Blockages in Melksham
We solve your toilet troubles, making sure everything runs free and clear when you flush.

Outside drain blockages in Melksham
Count on us for prompt, professional drain clearance without having to dig up your garden.

Drain Condition reports in Melksham
Buying or selling? We’ll use CCTV to give you a clear picture of the drainage system on your property, with a full condition report.

How We Help

Slow-draining toilets, baths, showers, or sinks require immediate attention. While commercial drain cleaners might seem like a quick fix, they can actually damage your plumbing system. For expert and effective solutions, contact Roman Rod’s experienced engineers.

Exterior drains may become blocked by debris such as leaves and soil, resulting in water accumulation. This can create unsightly conditions and potentially cause property damage. Regular inspection and maintenance of external drains is essential to prevent these issues.

The items recovered during drain clearing operations have been surprisingly diverse, ranging from personal belongings to valuable possessions. Kitchen sink blockages present particular challenges due to a combination of common substances such as tea bags and grease, as well as unexpected items including cosmetics and cutlery.

Both old and new drainage systems are susceptible to issues such as clogs, rust, and grime build-up. The Picote system offers an effective and safe solution for cleaning these pipes without the need for complete replacement. This advanced technology efficiently removes debris, restoring pipes to optimal condition.

Drain condition reports provide a comprehensive evaluation of your drainage system. Employing advanced camera technology, these reports accurately identify potential issues such as blockages, structural damage, and root intrusion. By proactively addressing these concerns, you can prevent costly repairs and disruptions to your property.

Our CCTV drain survey uses special cameras to give us a clear view of your drains and sewers. This helps us find the problem, whether it’s a collapsed pipe, tree roots, limescale, or something else. We’ll give you expert advice on how to fix it. We work in Bath, Bradford-on-Avon, Corsham, Salford, Keynsham, and Trowbridge. We’ll always talk to you before we start any work and give you a fixed price.
