We are here to make sure your drains flow smoothly again.
Deep under the ground, drainage pipes carry away water and waste from your home. These pipes sometimes get blocked by hair, soap, grease, kitchen waste, silt, or even washed up tree roots. Over time, such blockages slow down drainage or stop it altogether. When that happens you might notice water draining slowly from sinks, baths, or toilets. There might be strange gurgling sounds or foul smells coming from drains. Sometimes water even backs up into sinks or baths. All these signs tell you it’s time to call for specialist help.
At Clear Way Plumbing, we understand how frustrating blocked drains can feel. That’s why we offer a friendly, simple and quick service to clear all kinds of drain problems no matter whether it is a sink, a bath, a toilet, or an outside drain. We use professional tools and methods like high-pressure water jetting, drain rods, or CCTV drain surveys to find the problem below ground and fix it properly.
We believe in being clear and fair. When you call us, we listen carefully to what’s wrong, then come to your home or business and check what kind of blockage you have. If it’s a simple clog from hair or grease, we might clear it quickly and easily. If the problem is deeper for example roots in the pipe, or silt inside an old pipe we will use jetting or camera inspection to solve it properly. After we finish, water will flow freely again. Our goal is not just to fix the immediate trouble, but to make sure the drain stays clear and works well for a long time.
Whether your drain is outside under your garden or near the street or inside your home connected to kitchen sinks or bathroom tubs, we cover all types of drains. We also offer services for both normal maintenance and emergency drain blockages.

Sometimes, drains become blocked because of things that don’t belong there: wet wipes, nappies, sanitary items, cooking grease, food scraps, or bits of packaging. These items don’t dissolve or wash away easy — they gather inside the pipe and block it slowly. Over time this can cause serious blockage. That is why it helps to be careful about what goes down your drains. If you are not sure, use bins instead of flushing. That helps keep drains healthy for longer.
Imagine the relief when water flows down smoothly again, sinks and baths drain fast, toilets flush clean, and no nasty smells linger.

What Happens When Drains Get Blocked
Drain pipes are hidden out of sight, but they do a very important job. Water and waste from sinks, showers, toilets and gutters pass through those pipes. When everything flows well, you never notice them. But if something goes wrong — like bits of hair, cooking fat, soap, food scraps, or even dirt from outside — the pipes can get clogged. Sometimes tree roots grow into old underground pipes. Sometimes the pipe walls build up layers of grease or mineral deposits. These things make the pipe narrower, slow down water flow, and eventually cause full blockage.
When drainage slows or stops, you might see water staying in sinks or baths, toilets overflowing slightly, or water coming up from floor drains. Drains may make gurgling or bubbling noises when you flush toilets or let water out. You may also notice foul smells near drains or bathrooms, especially when pipes have been blocked for some time. These signs tell you it is time to get help. Waiting too long can cause worse problems: water damage, bad smells, or even pipe damage underground.
Some of these issues appear inside the house, like slow sinks or blocked baths. Others show up outside like water pooling near external drains, slow exterior drain flow, or overflowing gullies. Both types matter. That is why a proper drain company needs to check carefully, inside and out.
Letting a blockage go unchecked is risky. It can lead to leakages under floors or gardens, unpleasant odours creeping into homes, and even structural issues if water seeps into soil under foundations. Also, blockages often worsen — what starts as a slow drain can become a full clog, or even a collapse if tree roots or silt build up too much.
That is why professional drain services do more than just “push water”. They inspect, clean, sometimes jet or rod, and — if needed — use camera surveys to diagnose unseen problems. That way you don’t just get a temporary fix. You get a long-lasting solution for your home’s drainage safety and hygiene.
How Clear Way Plumbing Fixes Drain Problems
When you contact Clear Way Plumbing with a drain problem, our first step is always to find the cause. Often, that means looking carefully sometimes with small cameras to see if the pipe is blocked, crushed, or invaded by tree roots. If the cause is near the surface like hair in a bathroom drain or grease in a kitchen sink we may begin with simple but effective tools like drain rods.
If the blockage is stubborn, deep or caused by grease, silt, or roots, we use high-pressure water jetting. This powerful jet flushes water through the pipe under pressure. It clears out grease, fat, silt, root fragments and other stubborn debris that a simple rod can’t remove. This method is safe and effective, and it helps clear the pipe thoroughly.
For more serious structural issues — cracked pipes, pipe collapse, or suspected root invasion — we may recommend a CCTV drain survey. This involves running a small waterproof camera through the pipe to view the inside. The camera lets us see cracks, root damage, or collapsed areas without digging or guesswork. Once we know the real problem, we can advise if lining, patching, or pipe replacement is needed. Many homes and businesses in Berkshire opt for this to avoid repeated blockages and to keep their drainage system healthy for years.
After clearing or repairing, we flush the drain well and test to ensure water runs cleanly and strongly. We clean up after ourselves — no mess left behind. We also give friendly advice on preventing future blockages, like what not to flush, how to dispose of grease, and how to take care of outside drains when leaves or garden waste are around.

How You Can Help Avoid Blockages in the Future
Keeping drains healthy isn’t only the plumber’s job you can help too. Here are some simple habits that make a big difference over time. Never flush items like wet wipes, sanitary products, nappies, or thick paper down toilets they don’t dissolve easily and cause Block Drains Berkshire Use bins instead.
In your kitchen, avoid pouring grease or cooking oil down the sink. Let oil cool and throw it in the bin. Food scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells all these can cause build up inside pipes over time. Also, try to rinse sinks with hot water occasionally to help clear small residues before they become clogs.
At home, keep an eye on outside drains, gutters and garden debris. Leaves, twigs, soil or garden waste can block external drains or flow into the drainage system during rain. Clear them regularly to prevent build-up.
