FAQs
Blocked Drains questions.
Is a blocked drain different from a blocked toilet?
Often, yes. Use this page when sinks, showers, baths or outside drains are slow, gurgling, smelling or backing up. If the problem is only the toilet pan, the blocked toilet page gives a more specific route.
What shows that more than one drain may be involved?
Mention if water changes in one fixture when another is used, or if several fixtures are slow, noisy or backing up. That is more useful than calling every symptom a simple blockage.
Should I use drain chemicals before sending an enquiry?
Avoid adding harsh chemicals if you are unsure what is causing the restriction. They can make later work more hazardous. Describe what has happened, which fixtures are affected and whether water is still backing up.
