How Do I Know If My Drain Is Blocked?
Common signs of a blocked drain include slow-draining water, gurgling noises from pipes, unpleasant smells near sinks or gullies, and water backing up in toilets or sinks. If you notice more than one of these signs, the drain may need urgent attention before it overflows.
- Slow or gurgling drainage from sinks, baths or showers
- Unpleasant smells near drains, gullies or manholes
- Water backing up in toilets or basins
- Overflowing outside gullies after rain
- Damp patches or pooling water near drain covers
- Repeated blockages in the same location
How We Unblock a Drain
Our drain unblocking process is straightforward and designed to clear the blockage fully rather than just push it further down the pipe. Here's what to expect when we attend a call-out in Crowborough or the wider Wealden area.
1. Assessment
We identify the location and likely cause of the blockage on arrival.
2. High-Pressure Jetting
Professional water jetting equipment clears the blockage safely without damaging pipework.
3. CCTV Check
Where needed, a CCTV camera survey confirms the drain is fully clear and checks for underlying damage.
4. Clean-Up & Advice
We leave the area clean and give practical advice on preventing future blockages.
Common Causes of Blocked Drains in Crowborough
Crowborough's mix of older residential properties, rural surroundings and clay-heavy soil means drains can be prone to blockages from tree root ingress, leaf and debris build-up in autumn, and ageing pipework common in properties across the Wealden district. Heavy rainfall can also overwhelm surface water drains and gullies, particularly in low-lying parts of town.
We attend domestic and commercial drain unblocking call-outs throughout Crowborough and nearby areas including Wealden and wider East Sussex, responding to both routine blockages and urgent emergencies.
