Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our drainage services
Try to avoid using toilets, sinks or appliances that drain into the affected pipe. If water is backing up, move valuable items away from the area. Open doors or windows for ventilation if possible.
If the blockage is in a drain serving only your property up to your boundary, it's usually your responsibility. For shared drains or issues beyond your property line, your local water authority is typically responsible.
Landlords are generally responsible for repairs to drains and pipework, unless the blockage was caused by tenant misuse. Contact your landlord or letting agent to report the problem promptly.
Unpleasant drain smells can be caused by debris, trapped waste or dried-out traps. Pouring water into unused outlets and checking for visible blockages can help, but call an engineer if the issue continues.
Frequent blockages, slow drainage, or localised flooding may indicate a collapsed pipe. Water backing up at multiple points often suggests a bigger problem than just a local blockage.
A small camera is sent through your drains to check for blockages, damage or faults. CCTV surveys are useful after repeated blockages, before property purchase, or if you suspect structural issues underground.
