FAQs
What signs indicate I need drain-opening services in Lancing?
Persistent slow draining, standing water, gurgling noises, unpleasant smells, or repeated toilet overflows usually mean a blockage is forming. Catching these symptoms early prevents pipe damage and costly flooding, so call Reliable Solutions Plumbing as soon as you notice them.
How do you clear blocked drains and is the process safe for my pipes?
We begin with a visual or CCTV inspection to locate the obstruction. Most domestic blockages are removed with high-pressure water jetting, which scours grease, hair and scale without harming modern pipe materials. For more stubborn blockages we can use mechanical rodding or sectional pipe cleaning heads. All methods comply with Water Industry standards and will not damage sound pipework.
Are your drain-opening engineers available 24/7 in Lancing?
Yes. We operate a genuine 24/7 emergency call-out service covering all of Lancing and surrounding West Sussex villages. Whether your kitchen sink blocks at 3 p.m. or your toilet overflows at 3 a.m., an engineer is on standby with fully equipped vans to restore flow quickly.
How fast can you get to me and how long will the job take?
Because we’re based locally, average response time within Lancing is 60 minutes or less for emergencies. Most residential blockages are cleared in under an hour once on site. More complex jobs—such as roots in external drains—may take 2–3 hours including CCTV verification and clean-up.
Will you need to dig up my garden or driveway?
In more than 90 % of cases we clear indoor and outdoor drains from existing access points (manholes, gully pots or internal clean-outs) with no excavation at all. We resort to targeted, minimal-disruption digging only when a collapsed pipe or severe root ingress is confirmed by CCTV, and we always discuss options and costs before any ground is broken.
How much does drain opening cost and do you guarantee the work?
Our prices start from £65 + VAT for standard residential blockages, with no hidden call-out charge within Lancing. You’ll receive a fixed quotation before we begin. All workmanship is backed by a 30-day clear-flow guarantee; if the same blockage reoccurs in that period we’ll return free of charge to put it right.
