Before
After
We were recently called out to a house in Chester where the homeowner had water backing up through the exterior drains and flooding the patio. Situations like this can escalate quickly, so we headed over straight away to see what was going on.
After lifting the inspection chamber, it was clear that the drain line had completely blocked further down the system. Using professional equipment, we carried out an emergency drain unblocking and cleared the obstruction, restoring full flow through the pipework before the problem could cause damage to the property.
Drain issues rarely fix themselves. If they’re ignored, a simple blockage can quickly turn into internal flooding, damaged pipework, or costly repairs.
⚠️ Early warning signs of a blocked drain
If you notice any of these around your home, it’s worth acting sooner rather than later:
• Slow-draining sinks, baths, or showers
• Toilets struggling to flush or water levels rising
• Bad smells coming from drains or gullies
• Gurgling noises in pipework
• Water backing up into external drains
• Localised flooding around manholes or inspection chambers
These are usually early indicators that something is restricting the flow in the drainage system.
