Why Is My Drain Smelling and Backing Up?

A foul odour or slow-draining sink is often the first warning sign of a severe pipe blockage. Understanding the root cause of your drainage issue helps in preventing repeat emergencies. In the Bury area, our engineers frequently encounter blockages caused by a combination of household habits and environmental factors.Common culprits include a build-up of cooking fats and oils, often referred to as fatbergs, which solidify inside the pipes. Wet wipes, sanitary products, and excessive paper also cause immediate obstruction in domestic sewer lines. Externally, autumn leaves, heavy winter rainfall, and invasive tree roots can compromise your pipework, leading to structural damage. By identifying exactly what is causing the blockage, we can recommend the most effective long-term solution rather than a temporary quick fix.

Eco-Friendly Drain Jetting and Specialist Equipment

To tackle stubborn blockages, we utilise highly effective, eco-friendly high-pressure water jetting. This method uses powerful streams of water to slice through debris, grease, and root ingress without the need for harsh, environmentally damaging chemicals. It is safe for your pipes and highly efficient at restoring full water flow.As proud members of the Water Jetting Association (WJA), our engineers are rigorously trained to handle this equipment safely. If our jetting services reveal underlying structural damage to your pipes, we also offer the specialist Pipe Doctor system. This approved no-dig repair solution allows us to fix cracked or collapsed pipes from the inside, saving you the hassle and expense of large-scale garden excavation.

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.
