Hi, I would like to introduce myself, I am Gary Savage, the drain engineer and pride myself on good quality work and customer focused, who aims to make sure the customer is happy with the work undertaken and wouldnt hesitate to use the service again or recommend us to the next person. We aim to provide a fair and honest service that will leave you feeling good about the experience of having your drain unblocked.
We will always be happy to discuss the reason why your drain blocked - if this can be established and what you can do to prevent it happening again. I am the drain engineer and have 20 years experience in the drain industry, previously having worked for a large drain company, I decided that all the shortcomings a large company had, I could rectify and so Kernow Drains was created.

Sadly, when buying a house, the most overlooked area is the drains. The cost of replacing broken, damaged, pitch fibre or poorly laid drains can run into thousands. A pre purchase drain survey is inexpensive and can alert you and even assist in negotiating in the purchase price. If you are suffering from vermin infestation, the most common access for these little critters are through the drainage system.
We check the drains from below the ground and offer a complete service with a detailed report and footage via email. This is not a service we like to offer, but we do know that rats are not respectors of people, they will invade any drains that are not in use and take up residence in your home. They are a nuicance and we know the stress that noise can make in the middle of the night.
If no conventional access is available, extra charges will apply due to time taken to clear the drain. If pipes are damaged or an obstruction that is not deemed part of a normal blockage, i.e. rods stuck in drain, solid obstruction that is not found in a drain, toys, or any object that is not normally found in drains and clearance is/ is not possible, an extra charge will be made for time spent working on your drain.
Whatever the reason or problem with your clogged drain, Kernow Drains have 17 years experience in dealing with blockages. Drain clearances are generally straight forward and majority of clogged drains can be dealt with using drain rods. More stubborn clearances might require high pressure jetting, this is a last resort as the pressure of the water is fierce and can damage drains.
When you flush the toilet, take a shower or use the dishwasher, the waste water disappears round the U-bend, into your drain. At the point your drain connects into a pipe which serves more than one property, or the drain runs beyond your property boundary, South West Water become responsible for it.

Absolutely fantastic, so knowledgeable and professional and such lovely people on top, can't believe how quickly they arrived. Others have said it as well but they are complete life savers, I would highly recommend and would definitely use again.

My shower wasn't draining properly and my regular plumber couldn't fix it. So I contacted Kernow Drains who located the blockage and got my drains running again, all for a very competitive price. They're pleasant to deal with, they love what they do and they don't stop until they've fixed the problem.

It's been a while since I used kernow drains, I used them twice and they are fantastic. Very friendly couple, very happy to go the extra mile even at 11pm, doing what most would think is a horrible job.
Came out on late notice, stayed later to help us clean up, happy to give advice on how to not need to call them out again...
All this and at about half the price of the 'big boys', I hope I never need to use them again but will wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone and everyone.
Thanks for the excellent service, greatly appreciated.
