Services
Drain Unblocking
Our drain unblocking service utilises advanced techniques like hydro jetting and drain snaking to clear obstructions in residential and commercial properties. Engineers diagnose blockages using CCTV technology before implementing targeted solutions. The process restores proper drainage flow while minimising property disruption, typically completed within hours rather than days.
CCTV Drain Surveys
CCTV drain surveys employ high-resolution cameras to inspect underground pipework condition. This non-invasive method identifies cracks, root intrusions, and blockages with precision. Clients receive detailed reports showing exact problem locations and recommended remedial actions, essential for property purchases or recurring drainage issues.
Septic Tank Emptying
Regular septic tank emptying prevents system failures and environmental contamination. Our vacuum tankers efficiently remove accumulated solids while engineers inspect tank integrity. The service includes maintenance advice to extend system lifespan and ensure compliance with environmental regulations for off-mains drainage systems.
Emergency Callouts
Available 24/7, our emergency service addresses urgent drainage crises like flooding and complete blockages. Rapid response teams arrive equipped with portable jetting units and CCTV equipment to diagnose and resolve issues swiftly. This service minimises property damage and restores functionality within hours of initial contact.
Drain Maintenance
Scheduled drain maintenance prevents costly emergencies through regular cleaning and inspection. Hydro jetting removes build-up while CCTV checks identify developing issues. Commercial clients benefit from tailored maintenance plans that ensure compliance with health and safety regulations while extending drainage system longevity.

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

Mega-Rod provided an excellent service to clear our blocked drain after another company was unable to locate or fix the problem. I would thoroughly recommend them and just wish I'd called them first!

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.

A great big thank you to Andy Foster for doing a proper job on my drains today, after 6 year's of problems it's the first time that any drainage company has actually done a proper clean of the drains, before it was just a quick prod with the rods, and job done. This time was different a full clean of my drains, which hopefully will keep them unblocked, once again thank you Andy Foster, a very pleasant and courteous young man

I had to call in a company as my drain was flowing very slowly. They arrived and identified the problem was in a shared drain that was not on my property. They contacted Wessex Water and they sent out Mega Rod. A young chap by the name of Darryl arrived very quickly and identified the problem. He went to work and c!eared the blockage in suoer quick time. I can't praise this company enough. Darryl was prompt, efficient, polite and very courteous. A credit to the company and I would recommend this company to anyone (and everyone).
