Blocked Drains across Denny
Curran Drainage Services is a family-run team working across Denny and the rest of Falkirk, handling blocked drains for homeowners, landlords and businesses. If blocked drains is not the right answer, we will say so rather than sell it.
The quick version — we're a local family firm, we don't charge to turn up in Denny, and you'll be told exactly what the blocked drains job involves before you commit. We tell you when a repair is not needed as readily as when it is.
- 1You ring and speak to an engineer, not an answering service.
- 2We tell you honestly when we can be with you in Denny and what it is likely to cost.
- 3We jet or rod the drain, clear it, then show you the cause on camera before we leave.
Why Denny properties call us
Denny and Dunipace have a good deal of older stone property with original clay drainage running under gardens and driveways.
Mixed retail and residential above shops means waste from two very different uses meets in one stack. Once you know that, the repeat blockages usually make sense.
Denny is largely made up of older stone property and clay drainage under gardens, which shapes how we approach blocked drains here. Once you know that, the repeat blockages usually make sense.
Whether you are one of the homeowners, shops we already look after or a first-time caller, the Denny process is the same. Kerbside space is the only thing we ever really need in Denny.
We reach Denny on the A872, so vans are rarely far away. Kerbside space is the only thing we ever really need in Denny.
At about 5 miles from Falkirk, Denny is close enough for same-day attendance in almost every case. Nothing about the location changes the rate you are quoted.
A blocked drain rarely fixes itself. We locate the blockage, clear it with jetting or rodding, then run water through the system to prove it is flowing properly again.
We carry jetting equipment, rods and a camera on every van, so most jobs are diagnosed and cleared in a single visit. Catching it at that stage is the difference between a clearance and a repair.

What backs the work in Denny
- Street Works (NRSWA) qualified, which matters on the Denny jobs that touch adopted roads and footways. That is the part other firms tend to skip on Denny call-outs.
- High Pressure Water Jetting trained, so the equipment is operated to the recognised standard rather than by feel. None of that adds to the price of the visit.
- Over 20 years of drainage work in and around Denny, all under the same family ownership. Knowing the cause is what stops you paying for the same visit twice.

How we do the work in Denny
Where a joint has opened, a resin patch liner cures in place in around an hour and needs no excavation at all. Catching it at that stage is the difference between a clearance and a repair.
On Denny jobs we start at the lowest chamber and work back up the run, which stops debris being pushed further into the system. Hose reach is around 60 metres from the van, which covers all but the longest runs.

Denny drainage FAQs
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes. If the same fault returns within the guarantee period we come back to Denny at no charge — and if the cause is structural we will have flagged that on the first visit rather than after it. It is worth mentioning when you describe the problem to us.
Is a CCTV survey worth it before buying in Denny?
Where the property is older or has mature trees close to the boundary, yes. Mixed retail and residential above shops means waste from two very different uses meets in one stack. A survey costs a fraction of an unexpected excavation. Most people in Denny ask this, so you are not alone.
Do you need access inside the property?
Usually not — most Denny work is done from an external chamber or gully. If internal access is needed we will say so on the phone so someone can be there. There is no charge for the advice either way.
Will jetting damage old pipework?
Not when the pressure is matched to the pipe. On fragile clay or thin plastic in Denny we drop the pressure and use rods or a milling head instead where that is the safer option. It is worth mentioning when you describe the problem to us.
How quickly can you attend a blocked drain?
We operate 24/7 and aim to attend urgent blockages the same day, usually within a couple of hours depending on where our nearest van is.
Do you charge a call-out fee?
No. There is no call-out charge — you are quoted for the work itself.
What if the blockage comes back?
Repeat blockages point to a defect. We will camera the run and show you exactly what is causing it before recommending any repair.
Nearby areas we also cover
