This is a rather specialised area and not something to undergo yourself, there are a lot of health risks involved in drain cleaning especially in sewer drains.
Drain cleaning companies are comprised of professionals who are well trained in what they do, they have special equipment to perform the task at hand and most are available 24 hours a day 7 days a week.
They also offer an emergency call out service, this comes at a greater cost depending on the time and date but if you have no other option you may just have to do it.
There have the personnel to call out at any hour of the day to undertake, drain cleaning, blockages and other drain related tasks.
On average prices for this kind of service start at around £30, if you manage to find a cheaper one you have done well, but check the company out and make sure they are reliable.
The main services covered by these types of companies are as follows: oBlocked Drains oRoot Removal oEmergence Drain Clearance oDrainage Replacement and Repairs oDrain Cleaning oCCTV Surveys Some of the companies even offer discounted rates for OAPs with discounts of around 5% which can work out a considerable amount depending on what the problem is.
Another benefit some companies offer is no call out fees, they just set a standard rate for the work to be done and come out free of charge, keep an eye out for this part as some drain cleaners charge a stupid amount for a call out fee, make sure you check the small print.
