Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about our drainage services
If water backs up repeatedly after rodding or jetting, or you notice dips in the ground above pipes, the drain might be broken or collapsed. CCTV inspections confirm the issue and show exactly where repairs are needed.
Start by flushing plugholes and checking that water is in all traps, including rarely used showers. If odours persist, there could be a partial blockage or venting problem—our engineers can investigate and clear it.
Usually, tenants should report blockages promptly. Landlords are typically responsible for maintaining main drains, but tenants may need to pay if the blockage is caused by misuse. We work with both tenants and landlords to resolve problems quickly.
High-pressure water jetting clears fat, silt and debris from inside pipes. Our engineers target the blockage and check flow at each stage to ensure proper clearing, always leaving the area clean afterwards.
Avoid using sinks, toilets or appliances connected to the blocked drain to prevent flooding or further mess. If safe, remove standing water from affected areas. We’ll update you on our estimated arrival time.
Most blockages in outside gullies or manholes can be cleared within an hour visit using rods or jetting equipment. Heavier root or debris build-up may take longer, but the majority are resolved on the first call-out.
