Ensure to get in touch with Express Drainage Solutions as soon as possible to provide a quick and reliable solution.

Unwanted Creepy Crawlies

If you start to notice that there are extra creepy crawlies around the house, your drainage system could need some attention.

Bugs tend to gather around humid spaces, when your sewer system is breached, your home humidity increases. If you experience an influx of insects, you may need professionals to help you out.

Ghoul Gurgling sounds

Gurgling sounds from your drains can be an early sign that there is a problem with them. When your plumbing system is blocked or damaged, backups can occur, and your wastewater has nowhere to go but back up your drains.

If you hear any unusual gurgling or see any visible water bubbling back into your bathtub when you flush your toilet etc, then you need to investigate this issue immediately to avoid potentially more serious problems further down the line.
