Fixed Prices — No Call-Out

-
Wipes & sanitary products snag and net debris — bin them, even if labelled “flushable.”
-
Hair & soap scum narrow bore — fit strainers; clean traps.
-
Roots & ground movement hit older clay systems — survey after repeated issues.
-
Heavy rain overwhelms leaf-clogged gullies — seasonal cleans help.
