How do you unblock an outside drain?

Once the root cause has been identified by various inspection tests and methods of rodding, we will know the best action to take and proceed. In normal circumstances, we will be required to use high-pressure water jetting to force the blockage to break up.

​

If the drain or connecting pipe to the sewers is collapsed this will need excavation work to fix the damage wastewater way. Resulting in sanitary pipework and underground drainage to be restored.

​

In rare cases, where the manhole cover has been lifted or left off, rodents can enter the drainage systems and could be the cause of a blockage. Likewise, tree roots can cause a collapsed wastewater way.

Am I responsible for clearing blocked drains?

This depends on where the cause of the blockage is. If the blockage is within your property boundaries then the responsibility is usually yours.

If the blockage is located outside your boundaries past the main pathway or road then this is down to the water company that provides your water.
