Drain Cleaning Services in Portobello
Drain Cleaning Services in Portobello (including Musselburgh and Leith): drain unblocking, jetting and CCTV surveys — Gas Safe where required, fixed quotes, PK Plumbing, 180+ reviews.
Working in Portobello and nearby Musselburgh and Leith, we see homes and properties week in, week out. Mixed housing ages mean boiler sizing, drain method and access planning vary job by job. That local repetition helps on landlord repairs, certificates, and tidy work in finished rooms — we diagnose on site rather than guessing from a postcode. On drain cleaning services jobs we rod, jet or camera the line first — repeat blockages in Portobello usually need proof, not another quick clear.
Recent drainage work in Portobello
Example 1
A homeowner booked Drain Cleaning Services in Portobello after sewage smell in the pavement — shared drain responsibility was unclear.
We located a collapsed section under the drive using sonde and camera; temporary over-pumping wasn’t needed — dig-and-replace was scoped honestly.
Result: Drains ran freely on test; they were pleased we’d proved the cause instead of another “quick rod”.
Example 2
A café in Portobello needed Drain Cleaning Services when the yard gully smelled constantly, even after a quick rod from elsewhere.
Jetting cleared soft roots; we recommended periodic treatment and a follow-up camera in 12 months — the customer preferred prevention to repeat floods.
Result: The buyer proceeded with eyes open — our report went straight to their solicitor without extra questions.
Example 3
Our team attended Drain Cleaning Services in Portobello for a pre-purchase survey — the buyer wanted eyes in the ground before exchange.
Tracing manholes upstream proved the blockage sat in the shared run; we coordinated access, cleared, and left a short clip for the landlord cluster.
Result: The smell stopped; neighbours were happy the pavement wasn’t dug up unnecessarily.
Yard gullies and trapped runs fill with silt after heavy rain — we rod or jet to restore flow, then advise if the fall or grate needs attention. Repeat drain cleaning services in Portobello and Musselburgh, Leith, and Joppa teaches us which streets need a camera every time.
Why choose us
Blocked drains need the right tool: rods, jets, or mechanical clearing depending on pipe condition. In Portobello we’ve seen collapsed runs and root balls — we put diagnosis before another quick clear that fails in a fortnight.
Slow drains, jetting & CCTV in Portobello
Across Portobello we focus on drain unblocking first: rods, jets and the right nozzles for the pipe material. Urgent callouts are often same or next day. We cover blocked drains, slow bathroom wastes, kitchen lines, manholes and shared runs — with CCTV when you need proof for insurers or a purchase.
A CCTV survey lets us see exactly what's going on in the pipe before we clear it, so we can fix the root cause instead of just clearing the symptom. We quote fixed prices upfront and don't add hidden charges.

Blocked drain callouts
Fully blocked or slow draining? We clear kitchen lines, WCs and main runs with the right method — jetting, rods or mechanical — and we camera when it keeps coming back.
Drain unblocking
Slow bathroom wastes, gurgling stacks or a utility sink that won’t run off — we unblock properly and explain what caused it so you’re not stuck in a repeat cycle.
CCTV drain surveys
Buying, insuring or tired of repeat blockages? We camera the line and leave footage plus plain notes you can share — so you fix the cause, not just the symptom.
High-pressure drain jetting
Fatbergs, scale and soft root ingress often need proper jetting with the right nozzles — we match pressure to the pipe and clean up after, without wrecking fragile old clay.
