Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during a drain unblocking service?
Our engineer carries out an initial inspection to identify the cause and location of the blockage. We then clear the drain using high-pressure water jetting (HPWJ) or other specialist equipment to restore full flow. If needed, we use CCTV equipment to check for underlying defects or recurring problems. Once the blockage is cleared, we confirm the system is flowing properly and explain any recommended next steps.
Blocked Drain Clearance
What causes a drain blockage?
Common causes of blocked drains include grease, fat, food waste, wipes, sanitary products, hair, soap residue, scale and foreign objects. Outside the property, tree roots, displaced joints, damaged pipework and heavy silt deposits can also restrict flow. Recurring blockages often indicate an underlying defect, which can be identified with a CCTV drain survey.
How do I know if my drain is blocked?
Signs of a blocked drain include slow drainage, gurgling noises, foul odours, rising water levels, water backing up into sinks or toilets, and flooding around gullies or manholes. If the same problem keeps returning, a CCTV drain survey can help identify the underlying cause rather than only treating the immediate blockage.
Can I use chemical drain cleaners to unblock drains?
Chemical drain cleaners may help with very minor internal clogs, but they can damage seals and some pipe materials, create hazardous fumes and make later repair work more difficult. For persistent, severe or recurring blockages, professional drain cleaning is usually the safer option.
How do I unblock the drain myself?
For a minor blockage in a sink or shower, a plunger or simple drain snake may help. Avoid forcing tools into pipework or repeatedly using harsh chemicals. If the blockage is deep, keeps returning, affects external drains or causes sewage to back up, professional equipment is normally needed to clear it safely and find the cause.
