Frequently asked questions
Why do drains block more often in winter?
Fat and grease set hard in cold pipes, and leaves and storm debris collect in gullies. Let fat cool and bin it rather than pouring it away, and clear leaves from outside gullies. Water backing up from more than one plughole usually means the blockage is in the main drain and needs a drainage specialist.
Is the blocked drain my responsibility or the water company's?
In England and Wales you are usually responsible for drains inside your boundary that serve only your home. Shared drains and sewers beyond the boundary usually belong to the water company. If in doubt, ask them first, since they may clear it free.
What is a CCTV drain survey?
A camera pushed through the pipe, with a recording you can keep. It shows cracks, root ingress, displaced joints and collapses, and is the basis for a repair quote. It is also useful before you buy a house.
Why does the drain keep blocking?
Fat, wipes and hair are the usual causes, and jetting clears them. If it blocks again quickly there may be a damaged pipe or tree roots, which a survey will show. Fixing the cause costs less than repeated clearing.

What should I check before I hire a drainage specialist?
Ask for a written quote and what it includes, who will do the work, whether they are insured, and any registration the trade needs, such as Gas Safe for gas work or a Part P scheme for electrics. Never pay the full amount up front.
