Drain Unblocking
Help for blocked or slow-flowing outside drains, gullies, and drainage points around your property.
What is external drain cleaning and unblocking?
External drain cleaning and unblocking covers the drainage systems outside your home or business — the parts that carry wastewater away from your property into the main sewer network.
This typically includes items such as outside drains, gullies, inspection chambers, and the pipework connecting sinks, toilets, and appliances to the main drain. Over time, these can become blocked by everyday build-up such as leaves, silt, grease, soap residue, and other debris.
When an outside drain is blocked or draining slowly, water may back up, pool around the drain cover, or cause unpleasant smells. External drain cleaning and unblocking is the process of clearing that blockage and restoring normal flow through the system.
If you are unsure whether the issue is inside or outside your property, get in touch and we can discuss what you are seeing before arranging a visit.
