Professional Drain Fly Removal & Treatment

Drain flies can quickly become a persistent problem when they find somewhere suitable to breed within your drainage system. They are commonly found around sinks, showers, plugholes and other damp drainage areas.

Simply removing the flies you can see may not solve the infestation if the breeding source remains. Effective drain fly treatment needs to focus on the affected drain and the conditions allowing the flies to reproduce.

Our drainage specialists can inspect the affected area, identify the likely source and remove organic matter from the pipework. The affected areas can then be treated to help deal with the infestation and reduce the risk of the flies returning.

Warning Signs

Signs You May Have a Drain Fly Problem

Drain flies often appear around damp drainage areas, but other drainage problems can sometimes occur alongside them. These are some of the signs worth looking out for.

Small Flies Around Sinks & Drains

Small flies repeatedly appearing around sinks, showers, baths or plugholes can indicate a breeding source somewhere within or around the drainage system.

Slow-Draining Water

Slow drainage can allow water and organic material to remain within pipework for longer, creating conditions where drain flies may breed.

Unpleasant Drain Smells

Persistent smells from sinks, plugholes or drains can indicate organic waste or another drainage problem that may need investigating.

Flies That Keep Coming Back

If drain flies return after you've cleaned the visible area, the breeding source may still be present deeper within the drain or elsewhere in the drainage system.

What Causes Drain Flies in Your Drains?

Jamie came today to my house. Excellent service from start to finish. He used CCTV to identify where the flies were coming from and managed to solve the problem in less than two hours. Very professional, efficient, and knowledgeable, with a really good attitude and excellent customer service. I’m very happy with the work and would definitely recommend him. Thank you for the great job!

Our blocked shower drainpipe was rapidly & professionally cleared as soon as the operative arrived. Everything was great & I can’t fault the end result - the only point I’d make is that it was relatively expensive.

Jamie did fix the issue of limescale in my sewage pipe but then went on to block my sink by putting the drilled pieces of limescale down the plugholes of my sink and bath. When I informed the company they accused me of lying and refused to reimburse me or to apologise. ( I sent pictures of the drilled pieces of limescale that came up from my blocked sink when i plunged it). They charged me £840 and now I will have to get another company to flush out my pipes. Terrible customer service which has left my feeling very distressed and upset.

HOW WE WORK

How Our Drain Fly Removal Service Works

Our approach focuses on finding the source of the infestation and dealing with the drainage conditions allowing it to continue.
  • Tell Us Where You're Seeing the Flies

    Let us know where the flies are appearing and if you've noticed other drainage problems such as slow drainage, smells or recurring blockages.



  • Inspect the Affected Drainage

    Our drainage specialist will inspect the affected area and look for the likely source of the infestation.



  • Identify the Breeding Source

    We look for organic build-up, stagnant water, restricted drainage or other conditions that could be allowing drain flies to breed.



  • Clean & Treat the Source

    Where organic matter has accumulated within the pipework, the affected drainage can be cleaned and the area treated to help remove the infestation.



  • Identify Any Underlying Problem

    If another drainage issue is contributing to the problem, we'll explain what we've found and recommend the appropriate next step.

RECURRING DRAIN FLIES

Why Do Drain Flies Keep Coming Back?

If drain flies disappear and then return, the breeding source may not have been completely removed.

Persistent infestations can be associated with organic build-up deeper within the pipework, slow or partially blocked drains, stagnant drainage areas or another hidden problem.

This is where investigating the drainage itself becomes more important than repeatedly dealing with the flies you can see.

Frequently Asked Questions About Drain Fly Removal

What causes drain flies?

Drain flies breed in damp areas containing organic matter. Inside drainage systems this can include accumulated grease, soap, hair, food waste and other material within pipes, traps and gullies.
Getting rid of drain flies means dealing with the breeding source rather than only removing the adult flies. The affected drainage may need cleaning to remove organic build-up, with further investigation if the infestation continues.
Recurring drain flies can mean that a breeding source remains somewhere within the drainage system. This could include build-up deeper inside the pipework, stagnant drainage areas or another problem that hasn’t yet been identified.
Minor problems may sometimes improve after the affected drain is thoroughly cleaned. If drain flies continue returning, appear in large numbers or occur alongside other drainage symptoms, a professional inspection can help identify the source.

A slow or partially blocked drain can allow waste and moisture to accumulate, creating conditions that can support drain flies.

An infestation doesn’t automatically mean a drain is blocked, so the source should be properly investigated.

A CCTV drain survey can be useful where an infestation keeps returning and a hidden drainage problem is suspected. It allows the drainage system to be inspected internally for build-up, blockages or defects.
Yes. Precise Drainage provides drainage services for homes and commercial properties, including businesses experiencing drain fly problems.
