FAQs

Answering your urgent drainage questions

The methods of clearing a blocked drain depend on where the drain is and the type of blockage. Drainage experts often start with a CCTV drain survey to find the source of the problem, then clear it using drain rods or high-pressure water jetting. Alternatively, if a drain is damaged or collapsed, they’ll talk you through the repair options.

It depends on where the blockage is. If the blockage is inside the property boundary, the property owner is generally responsible for the drains. If the blockage is outside the property boundary, in a public or shared drain, responsibility usually falls to the water company or the building’s management, depending on the ownership and location of the drainage system.

A drainage emergency may look like:

  • Any blockage that floods your home
  • Pushes your sewage into your home
  • Overflowing toilets
  • Backing-up bath and shower drains
  • Overflowing outdoor drains
  • Foul smells near drainage

These all warrant an emergency call-out to prevent water damage in your home and health risks to you and your family.

The first thing to do if you have a blocked drain is to stop using water and turn it off at the stop tap, if it’s accessible. Then, contain any overflowing water with towels or buckets before clearing the space as much as possible to prevent further damage. Once you have done this, call our emergency drainage number at 020 4527 2099, and we will send a local drainage specialist to assess and resolve the issue, usually within the hour.

Yes, our plumbing and drainage experts are available 24/7. Once you have contacted our call centre team, they will schedule an expert to come to your home within an hour to inspect, control and fix your drainage issue.
