    Drains and Blockages: FAQs

    How long will it take to locate and clear my blockage?

    This can vary depending on the complexity of the problem, however most simple blockages can be cleared in around 1 hour.

    Why does my drain keep reblocking?

    If your drain reblocks after being cleared within a short time frame i.e. 3 months, there is normally a more significant problem which needs to be addressed.  At this stage we are able to use a camera to determine the cause of the problem along with the location and depth.  We can then carry out repairs as required.

    How do I know if my drain is blocked?

    • Slow draining toilet or water rising when you flush
    • Gurgling sound in the toilet pan or outside in the gully trap
    • Discharge from the gully trap outside
    • Slow draining sinks, showers etc
    • Surface flooding from sumps etc

    What is a gully trap?

    A gully trap is generally a dish sitting against the base of the house where all the small waste pipes discharge into.   When there is a blockage in a drain it will overflow at the gully.
