Blocked Drains York

As a homeowner or business owner in York, dealing with a blocked outdoor drain can be a frustrating and potentially costly problem. At Blocked Drains York, we understand the importance of a functioning drainage system and are here to provide you with expert advice on how to unblock your outdoor drain.

Outdoor drains are designed to direct water away from your property, but they can become clogged with debris, grease, and roots. The most common causes of blockages include:

• Grease and fat buildup from kitchen waste
• Tree roots growing into the drain pipes
• Debris such as leaves and twigs
• Soap scum and detergent residue

If you notice that your outdoor drain is not draining properly, it may be a sign of a blockage. Look out for the following signs:

• Water pooling around the drain
• Slow draining or gurgling sounds
• Backed-up water in your toilet or sink

Before attempting to unblock your outdoor drain, make sure to:

• Turn off the water supply to the drain
• Put on protective gloves and eyewear
  Here's a step-by-step guide to unblocking your outdoor drain:

1. Use a drain snake or auger: Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it to break up any blockages.
2. Use a plunger: Create suction to loosen any debris or blockages.
3. Use a drain jetter: A high-pressure jet of water can help to clear any stubborn blockages.
4. Use a CCTV survey: If the blockage is further down the drain, a CCTV survey can help to identify the problem.

If you're not comfortable attempting to unblock your outdoor drain yourself, or if the blockage persists after trying the above methods, it's time to call in the professionals. At Blocked Drains York, our team of experts is available 24/7 to provide emergency drainage services.
