Blocked Drains

Types of blocked drains we clear in Nottingham

A blocked drain in Nottingham can range from a slow-running sink to a completely backed-up sewer. While minor blockages can sometimes be shifted with a plunger, persistent blockages or outdoor drain problems always need a professional. Our plumbers carry the right equipment to diagnose and clear blockages of all types.

🚿

Blocked shower or bath

Usually caused by hair and soap build-up. Cleared using specialist drain rods or a high-pressure jet.

🍳

Blocked kitchen sink

Grease, fat, and food debris are the most common culprits. Can cause bad smells and slow drainage.

🚽

Blocked toilet

Wet wipes, nappies, and other non-flushable items are the leading cause. Never attempt to use chemical drain cleaners in a toilet.

🌧️

Blocked outdoor drain

Leaves, debris, or root intrusion blocking external gullies or inspection chambers. Can cause flooding during heavy rain.

🏠

Main sewer blockage

If multiple drains in your home are slow at once, it may indicate a main sewer blockage. This needs urgent professional attention.

📹

CCTV drain survey

For persistent or recurring blockages, a CCTV survey can identify the exact cause — including root intrusion or collapsed pipes.
