FAQs about out-of-hours drain clearance

What is 24-hour drain clearance?

24-hour drain clearance is a round-the-clock service for unblocking drains, toilets, or sinks when you need help fast. Same-day drain clearance companies can respond day or night to clear blockages and prevent flooding.

Is a blocked drain classed as an emergency?

If a blocked drain has resulted in an overflowing toilet or flooding inside your home, it’s time to call an emergency plumber or 24-hour drain clearance firm.

Leave it too long and you could be facing costly (and very unpleasant) damage to your property.

Is a blocked drain the landlord’s responsibility?

This depends on the cause of the blocked drain. The Landlord & Tenant Act 1985 states that it is the landlord’s responsibility to maintain their drainage, pipes, and other areas of plumbing.

If, however, a drain becomes blocked through tenant misuse, it is the tenant’s responsibility to fix the problem.

When should I call an emergency drain clearance service?

Spot any of the signs below and call a 24-hour drainage company immediately:

• Water is backing up

• Toilets aren’t flushing

• There’s a bad smell or flooding

Acting fast can prevent serious property damage.

Can I clear a blocked drain myself?

Unblocking a drain may be possible using specialist chemicals that you can buy yourself and pour down the sink.

However, if the blockage is very large or located further along the system, you’ll need to contact a checked drain clearance company.

How quickly can a 24-hour drainage engineer arrive?

Many local engineers can arrive within one to two hours, depending on your location.
