Tanks & Drains

Tanks & Drains is a local family business operating in the drainage sector. Jamie runs the company and attends jobs personally. It is a licensed waste carrier. Services include drain unblocking and high-pressure jetting, septic tank emptying, installation of new waste water treatment plants, servicing of pump chambers for schools, retail parks and FM sites, and CCTV drain surveys.

The company covers York, North Yorkshire and the East Riding, serving towns such as York, Selby, Malton, Beverley, Pickering, Pocklington, Driffield, Scarborough, Filey, Helmsley, Easingwold, Thirsk, Ripon, Knaresborough and Harrogate.

Blocked drains and septic tank emptying dominate the workload described by customers of Tanks & Drains, and the speed of response is a recurring theme. Jamie is named repeatedly as the person who arrives within a couple of hours of a call, including at short notice, and one account recalls a blockage discovered late in the afternoon being cleared by the following lunchtime. Reviewers also mention the detailed quotes provided at the start, with questions answered promptly and explained clearly, and the pricing described as fair for the work involved.

The installation of a new treatment tank features in the feedback, where Jamie and a colleague, Chris, are noted as friendly and as explaining each stage of a larger job. Tidiness is a point that comes up often, with gardens left clean and clear after tanks are emptied and drains cleared. Practical advice on maintaining a septic tank and preventing future blockages recurs, alongside appreciation for Jamie's expertise on stubborn jobs such as a soakaway drain and a badly blocked main drain. Follow-up support after the visit is also singled out.
