Why is my drain overflowing or smelling?

Drain blockages often build up slowly before suddenly causing an emergency. Understanding the cause can help prevent future issues. Some of the most common culprits we clear in Bolton include:Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG): Pouring cooking oils down the kitchen sink leads to solidified fatbergs that choke main sewer lines.Flushed Non-Biodegradables: Wet wipes, sanitary products, and excessive toilet paper are leading causes of domestic blocked toilets.Tree Root Ingress: Tiny roots seek out moisture, forcing their way into pipe joints and expanding until the drain is entirely blocked.Seasonal Debris: Heavy autumn leaves, silt, and winter storms can easily overwhelm external drains and gullies, leading to surface water flooding.If you suspect an underlying issue, a CCTV drain survey can identify the exact problem before it results in structural damage.

Emergency Drainage FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers to common questions about our 24/7 emergency drain unblocking, rapid clearance, and repair services in Lancashire and across Lancashire.

How quickly can you get to an emergency in Darwen?

+

Because we are based in Darwen, we can often be at your door within the hour. Our 24/7 service means we always have engineers ready to respond to urgent flooding or severe blockages across Lancashire.

What are the most common signs of a blocked drain?

+

The most obvious signs include water rising in your toilet after flushing, gurgling sounds from your plugholes, or a foul smell coming from your drains. If you notice your washing machine or dishwasher backing up, it is a sign that the main line might be obstructed.

Will high pressure water jetting damage my old clay pipes?

+

No, when used by a trained professional. Our engineers are WJA members and know how to adjust the pressure to suit the material and condition of your pipes. It is actually much safer than manual rodding, which can put physical stress on old joints.

Do I need a CCTV survey for every blockage?

+

Not always. If it is a one-off clog caused by wet wipes or grease, a quick jetting will solve it. However, if your drains block frequently, we recommend a CCTV survey to see if there is an underlying issue like tree root damage or a collapsed section of pipe.

Is it my responsibility to fix the drain or the water company's?

+

Generally, you are responsible for the drains within your property boundary that serve only your home. Once the pipe joins with a neighbour's or leaves your boundary, it usually becomes the responsibility of United Utilities. We can help you identify where the blockage is and tell you who is responsible for the repair.
