Drain Unblocking FAQs
Common questions about blocked drains and emergency clearance
What should I do if my drain is overflowing?
Stop using all sinks, toilets and appliances that connect to the affected drain. Do not pour more water down. Keep children and pets away from overflow water. Call us immediately.
What causes most drain blockages?
External drains are usually blocked by wet wipes, sanitary products, cooking fat, grease, tree roots growing into cracked pipes, or a build-up of debris. Internal blockages are often from food waste, soap scum and hair.
How do you clear a blocked drain?
We use drain rods to physically break up and push through the blockage. For stubborn blockages we use high-pressure water jetting which blasts through grease and debris. For tree root intrusion we may recommend a CCTV survey.
Can a blocked drain damage my property?
Yes. A blocked drain that overflows can cause water damage to gardens, patios and potentially enter the property. Sewage backing up is a serious health hazard that needs immediate attention.
How can I tell if my drain is blocked?
Signs include: water draining slowly from sinks and toilets, gurgling sounds from plug holes, foul smells from drains, water backing up when you flush the toilet, and overflowing external gullies.
Do you use CCTV drain surveys?
We can arrange CCTV drain surveys for persistent or recurring drain problems. A camera inspection can identify pipe damage, tree root intrusion and collapsed sections that need excavation.
