When dealing with blocked drains in Cambridge, time is of the essence. From the historic properties in the city centre to the expansive agricultural sites across the Fens, poor drainage can lead to severe flooding, structural damage, and hygiene risks.

Cargate Engineering brings over 25 years of specialist drainage expertise to Cambridgeshire. Our highly trained engineers operate a versatile fleet, equipped to tackle everything from a stubbornly blocked household sink in St Ives to large-scale commercial sewer collapses in Peterborough. We are on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, providing an honest service with zero hidden fees.

How We Clear Cambridgeshire's Blockages

We do not rely on quick fixes that will leave you calling us back a month later. We utilise heavy-duty, industry-leading equipment to properly diagnose and permanently clear your drainage systems:

High-Pressure Water Jetting: The ultimate solution for clearing heavy silt, grease, and fatbergs. Our jetting technology blasts through blockages, cleaning the pipe walls and restoring maximum flow capacity to your system.
Root Cutting & De-scaling: Older properties in Cambridgeshire often suffer from tree root ingress and heavy scale. Using specialist electro-mechanical flails, we can safely chop away intruding roots and strip away calcified build-up without cracking the surrounding pipework.
Robotic CCTV Drain Surveys: Take the guesswork out of chronic drainage problems. Our advanced camera systems travel deep underground to visually map out structural defects, collapsed joints, or hidden blockages, allowing us to recommend pinpoint repairs rather than digging up your driveway.
