Why Choose Our Drain Unblocking Service?

Choosing a drain unblocking company can be a daunting task, but here’s why Unblockers.net is the right choice for you:

Common Drain Blockage Signs and How We Fix Them

How can you tell if you have a blocked drain? Here are some common signs to watch out for:

  • Slow Draining Water: If water takes longer than usual to drain away, it could be a sign of a blockage in your pipes.
  • Unpleasant Odours: Foul smells emanating from your drains can indicate a buildup of waste or debris.
  • Gurgling Sounds: Strange noises in your pipes could mean air is trapped due to a blockage.
  • Overflowing Water: When water overflows from sinks, toilets, or drains, it’s a clear sign that there’s an obstruction.

Our team uses a combination of CCTV survey, drain jetting (drain jet), and manual rodding to clear these blockages quickly. Whether it’s a simple clog or a more complex issue deep within your pipes, we have the expertise to resolve it efficiently.

Drain Unblocking: Customer Testimonials

I couldn’t be happier with the service from Unblockers.net! I had a severely blocked drain that was causing unpleasant odours and slow draining water in my kitchen. I reached out to their team for an emergency drain unblocking, and they were at my property within the hour. The engineer was professional, friendly, and clearly explained the issue. They even used a CCTV drain survey to show me the exact blockage before they started the work.

Their high-pressure jetting equipment quickly cleared the blockage, and they gave my entire drainage system a thorough clean. The fixed-price quote meant there were no surprises when it came to cost, which was a huge relief. The whole process was smooth and stress-free, and my drain is now running perfectly.

I highly recommend Unblockers.net for anyone dealing with a blocked drain or needing a reliable drain unblocking company. They offer 24/7 service, and you can really tell they care about getting the job done right. I’ll definitely use them again if I ever have another drainage issue. Thanks again for the fantastic service!

Does Home Insurance Cover the Cost of Unblocking a Drain?2025-02-27T12:59:21+00:00

Home insurance policies differ, but in some cases, drain repairs and unblocking costs may be covered. It depends on:

 

The cause of the blockage – Accidental damage (such as collapsed pipes) is often covered, whereas blockages due to grease, hair, or wipes may not be.

Policy terms – Some policies include drainage cover as standard, while others require an additional policy add-on.

External drain issues – If the problem is in a shared drain or public sewer, the local water company is usually responsible.

If you need a drainage report for an insurance claim, Unblockers.net provides CCTV drain surveys and professional assessments to help you navigate the process.

How Much Does It Cost to Have a Drain Unblocked?2025-02-27T12:59:01+00:00

The cost of unblocking a drain varies depending on the severity of the blockage, the location of the drain, and the method required to clear it.

 

At Unblockers.net, we believe in clear and transparent pricing with no hidden fees. We assess the problem first and provide a detailed breakdown of the work required before proceeding. Whether it’s a simple blockage or a more complex drainage issue, our team ensures you get the best possible service at a fair price.

Who is Responsible for Fixing a Blocked Drain?2025-02-27T12:58:44+00:00

Responsibility for unblocking a drain depends on where the blockage is located:

 

Inside your property – The homeowner is responsible for any drainage problems within the boundaries of their property.

Shared drains – If the blockage affects multiple properties, responsibility usually falls on the local water authority.

Rented properties – Landlords are typically responsible for drain maintenance unless the blockage was caused by tenant misuse.

If you’re unsure whether the blockage is your responsibility, Unblockers.net can carry out a CCTV drain inspection to determine the issue and advise on the next steps.

What Are the Main Causes of a Blocked Drain?2025-02-27T12:49:26+00:00

Drains can become blocked due to various factors, many of which are preventable. The most common causes include:

 

Flushing non-biodegradable items such as wipes, nappies, and sanitary products.

Fat, grease, and oil solidifying inside pipes.

Soap scum and hair accumulating in bathroom drains.

Tree roots infiltrating underground pipes.

Outdoor debris such as leaves and dirt clogging external drains.

At Unblockers.net, we not only clear blocked drains but also offer preventative maintenance advice to help you avoid future issues.

Why is My Drain Emptying So Slowly?2025-02-27T12:45:57+00:00

A slow-draining sink, bath, or shower is often a sign of a partial blockage forming in the pipes. Common causes include:

 

Fat, oil, and grease build-up restricting water flow.

Hair and soap scum accumulation in bathroom pipes.

Limescale deposits reducing pipe diameter.

Food debris stuck in kitchen sink drains.

Tree roots or pipe damage affecting water flow.

If slow drainage isn’t dealt with early, it can lead to a complete blockage. Unblockers.net can quickly diagnose the issue and provide a long-lasting solution using professional drain unblocking methods.

What Should I Do If My Drain is Clogged?2025-02-27T12:45:15+00:00

If your drain is blocked, avoid using more water or flushing toilets, as this could make the problem worse. While some minor blockages might be cleared with a plunger, many require specialist equipment to fully resolve the issue.

 

At Unblockers.net, we use professional-grade tools such as high-pressure water jetting and drain rodding to ensure the blockage is removed effectively. Whether it’s a sink, toilet, or outdoor drain, our drainage experts are available to provide a fast, reliable, and hassle-free service.

How Can I Tell If My Drain is Blocked?2025-02-27T12:44:36+00:00

Blocked drains often start with small warning signs before becoming a major issue. Some of the most common indicators include:

 

Slow drainage in sinks, baths, or showers.

Unpleasant odours coming from plugholes or outdoor drains.

Gurgling sounds in pipes when water is running.

Standing water in sinks or bathtubs that drains very slowly.

Overflowing external drains or manholes.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s important to address the problem quickly before it worsens. Unblockers.net provides expert drain unblocking services to resolve the issue efficiently.
