2. Is the council responsible for blocked drains?
In most cases, if the drain blockage is located within your property boundaries, you are responsible, not the council. However, if you live in a council property or suspect the issue stems from the wider network, the council may be liable. It’s worth contacting them directly with full details.
3. Is a blocked drain an urgent situation?
It depends on the severity. A slow-draining sink might not be urgent, but blocked toilets or sewer backups often require immediate attention. Acting fast can prevent further damage and reduce repair costs. If you're unsure whether your case is urgent, contact us; we’re always happy to advise.
4. Can I clear a blocked drain myself?
While it may seem simple to fix a blocked sink or toilet yourself, DIY methods can often make things worse. Many blocked drains we fixed were made more complicated (and costly) after self-repair attempts. For safe, effective solutions, it's best to call a professional.
5. How can I identify the cause of a blocked drain?
Some blockages, like a clogged kitchen sink, can be spotted under the sink. But if the issue lies underground, a CCTV drain survey is needed to find the cause. We offer professional inspections and blocked drain services in West London to diagnose and resolve more complex issues.
6. What happens if I don’t fix a blocked drain?
Ignoring blocked drains can lead to pipe damage, sewage backups, property issues, and even health risks. The longer you wait, the more expensive it can get. Early intervention by a professional drain clearance service is always the smarter and more cost-effective choice.
