    Blocked drain drama, all sorted!! I have used Megarod before, and once again, they were excellent. They were here promptly and sorted it with minimum fuss! Thank you to Tom for arranging everything and Daryl for sorting it out on the day!

    Really top quality service from Tom and Andy. We had a blocked toilet, they came out and sorted the issue the next day. Two weeks later the same toilet was blocked - they came out and found the issue was unrelated (which upon explanation made total sense). Yet as a goodwill gesture they didn’t charge us for the second visit. Very rare to get this level of service, highly recommend these guys.

    We have called Mega Rod twice to clear drains and for advice. Both times they have responded quickly and professionally and have been a pleasure to deal with. As well as solving a problem. No hesitation in recommending them for any drain issues and/or investigative work.

    Had a totally blocked drain and tried to clear it myself using drain rods. These came unscrewed in the drain leaving 10 metres of rods stuck somewhere in the drain.Within an hour of calling them their engineer arrived and was able to force the rods back up the drain to the access point and pull them out. All sorted within less than 30 minutes.Customer service was excellent from start to finish, knowledge and expertise of the engineer who came on site was first class.I would never use anyone else again (and certainly wont be using my own rods again).If you have a problem with your drains call these guys straight away, their service is first class, reliable and trustworthy and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

    We had a blocked toilet and, as it turned out, a blocked line. We called Mega-Rod and were given a clear quote of how much it would cost to fix. Since we called on a Saturday we were told it'd be more expensive to get it sorted on the day and were told if we can wait until Monday to do so to save the money. We couldn't, so Andy was sent over within a couple of hours.Andy was amazing - he got the job done quickly and efficiently. He went above and beyond - he explained exactly what the issue was, and gave us more information about our system and what to watch out for (we are first time home owners, so all the advice he gave us was priceless!).Hopefully we won't need Mega-Rod's drainage services again, but if we do, there's no other company we'd call!Thank you, Andy for the great job done!

    Great response and service. We had our drains blocked and was quite stuck. The team talked us through each stage and what can be done to prevent further issues.

    Excellent service and communication on my pre purchase survey in May 2022. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mega-Rod!

    I find myself posting another very positive review for this company. I find the customer service absolutely impeccable with the owner of the company even arranging urgent visits to my house whilst he is on holiday. All of the staff with whom I've had contact have been highly knowledgeable, courteous and providers of solutions whereby my drainage can be more efficient and not cause continued problems.They also have all the kit so it's not just a man visiting with his rod but you have technology and power which combined with the friendliness makes for a very stressfree experience.I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this company to those looking for support and quick fix help.

    Mega-Rod responded to my issue in a prompt and professional manner. When the engineer attended my property he was friendly and talked me through what had been found and what works he was undertaking. The engineer resolved the issue in less than an hour but his process was thorough. The engineer took care in my possessions, returning all items as they were found. I would have no doubts in using this company going forward.

    Home Buyers Drain Survey

    If you’re a home buyer, you may not know that a drain survey is an important part of the home-buying process. A drain survey can identify potential problems with the drains in your home and can help you avoid costly repairs down the road. A good drain survey will include a thorough inspection of all the drains in your home, as well as a cleaning of any clogged or backed-up drains.

    Mega-Rod, a reputable local independent drainage company based in Bath, offers specialised services tailored to aid homebuyers in making informed decisions while safeguarding their investments.

    Why a Homebuyer’s Drain Survey Matters

    Often overlooked, a homebuyer’s drain survey plays a pivotal role in the due diligence process. It serves as a proactive measure to assess the condition of a property’s drainage system, identifying potential issues that might go unnoticed during a standard property inspection. A meticulously conducted survey not only uncovers existing blockages, leaks, or pipe damage but also provides insights into the overall health of the drainage infrastructure.

    What Does a Drain Survey Reveal?

    Mega-Rod’s drain survey encompasses a thorough inspection of all drains within the property. Using advanced equipment, our expert surveyors identify blockages, leaks, structural damage, or any other concerns that might compromise the efficiency of the drainage system. These findings equip homebuyers with critical information, empowering them to negotiate terms or plan necessary repairs before finalising the purchase.

    The Process: From Inquiry to Report

    Engaging Mega-Rod for a homebuyer’s drain survey is a streamlined process designed for convenience and accuracy:

    1. Consultation with Drain Surveyor: Contact Mega-Rod to speak with a qualified drain surveyor who will guide you through the process. Our team possesses the expertise and specialised equipment required for a comprehensive survey.
    2. Appointment Arrangement: Schedule an appointment for our surveyor to visit the property. Access to all drain locations is necessary for a thorough inspection.
    3. Thorough Inspection: Our surveyor employs advanced equipment to meticulously examine the drains, capturing images and notes on any identified issues.
    4. Comprehensive Report: Following the survey, Mega-Rod provides a detailed report outlining the survey findings. This report serves as a valuable tool for decision-making and negotiation.

    Benefits of a Pre-Purchase Drain Survey

    The advantages of conducting a drain survey before purchasing a property in Bath or Bristol are significant:

    • Cost Savings: Identifying drainage issues beforehand prevents unexpected repair costs post-purchase.
    • Negotiation Leverage: Survey findings empower buyers to negotiate better terms or request necessary repairs before closing the deal.
    • Peace of Mind: Assures buyers that the property’s drainage system is in optimal condition, avoiding potential disruptions upon moving in.
