Drainage Company in Epsom (KT17, KT18, KT19)

Monster Drainage provides drainage services in Epsom for two rather different kinds of customer. Homeowners tend to ring when something has already gone wrong: a toilet that will not clear, or an outside drain that has started to smell. Businesses need their drains kept running so that staff and customers are never left without a working sink or toilet. This page sets out what we do for each, across KT17, KT18 and KT19 and the wider borough of Epsom and Ewell.

For Epsom homes

At home, most drainage trouble falls into a handful of familiar types. We help with:

  • Blocked kitchen sinks and waste pipes
  • Toilets that are blocked or slow to flush
  • Outside gullies packed with leaves and silt
  • Manholes holding standing water
  • Drain clearance when several drains are slow at once
  • CCTV drain surveys when a drain keeps blocking

Many Epsom houses share a drain run with the house next door, so it helps to know whether your neighbour has noticed anything too. We will tell you where the blockage was and whether it sat in your own section of pipe or a shared one. If water is rising in a downstairs toilet, stop using the taps and toilets upstairs until we arrive.

For Epsom businesses

Shops on the High Street, restaurants, offices and other premises put far more through their drains than any house. For businesses we offer:

  • Clearing blocked drains and toilets in staff and customer areas
  • High pressure jetting for kitchen drains coated in grease
  • Camera surveys to find the cause of repeat blockages

A restaurant kitchen sending a little fat down the sink every day will see its drain narrow far faster than a house would. Regular jetting keeps the pipe open and helps catch a problem before it closes the kitchen. Findings from each visit can be kept with your maintenance records, which makes a pattern easier to spot over time.

Landlords and letting agents

If you let property in Epsom, you can book us directly or ask your agent to. We contact the tenant, arrange access and report back to whoever booked the visit, with a note of what caused the blockage and anything to watch later. That record is useful if the same drain gives trouble again under a different tenancy.

Keeping a business open while we work

Nobody wants a drainage engineer in the middle of a busy lunchtime. Where possible, we plan the visit with you so it causes as little disruption as we can manage, starting with the areas your customers use. For drains that cannot wait, our emergency call outs run around the clock.

Outside drains after a downpour

On the clay side of town, heavy rain can leave water standing by a back door gully or across a drive. Sometimes the ground is simply saturated, but often the gully or the pipe behind it is partly blocked with leaves and silt. Clearing it restores the route away from the house, and we can tell you whether the pipe beyond is in good order.

Ewell, Stoneleigh and Langley Vale

Our Epsom area takes in Ewell, where the Hogsmill River rises near Bourne Hall, and Stoneleigh to the north, together with Langley Vale and the roads around Epsom Downs. Stoneleigh has a great many interwar semi detached houses, laid out with the shared rear drains typical of that period, so a blocked run there can involve two or three gardens. We cover all of these as part of Epsom.

Epsom ground: chalk to the south, clay to the north

Epsom sits on two kinds of ground. South and east of the town, the North Downs chalk drains freely, while the centre, north and west lie on London Clay. On clay, soakaways struggle and the soil shrinks and swells with the seasons, which can move the joints of older clay pipes. Roots and displaced joints are common reasons for a drain blocking again soon after it was cleared, and a camera is the quickest way to tell. On the chalk, by contrast, a soakaway can work well for many years, although it will still silt up in time.

How our quotes work

We explain what we think the problem is and give you a clear quote before starting, with no hidden charges. If we find something that needs further work, we set out the options and quote for them separately, so you decide what happens next. Every quote sets out what the work involves, so there is nothing to puzzle over afterwards. You can also ask for an estimate online if you would like an idea of cost before booking.

Common questions from Epsom homes and businesses

Q: Do you offer regular maintenance visits for commercial premises?
A: Yes. Where a business’s drains need regular attention, we can set up scheduled maintenance planned around how the site is used.

Q: Is a drain survey worth having when buying in Epsom?
A: It is a sensible step, especially for an older house. A CCTV drain survey shows the condition of the pipes before you buy, and the findings are documented for your records.

Q: Which parts of Epsom do you cover?
A: All of KT17, KT18 and KT19, including Ewell, Stoneleigh, Langley Vale and Epsom Downs. The other towns we cover are on our areas page.

Q: What should I have ready when I call?
A: Your address, which drains are affected, whether an outside manhole is full of water, and whether a neighbour has seen the same thing. If you know where your inspection chambers are, that helps as well.
