Emergency Drain Heroes: Who to Call When Drains Go Wrong
What to expect from a professional emergency drainage call out across London and Essex, day or night.
When a drain fails badly, whether that is a flooded kitchen or a blocked sewer, knowing who to call and what to expect makes a stressful situation far easier to manage.
What a good emergency team should offer
A reliable emergency drainage service should be reachable around the clock, arrive with the right equipment for the job rather than needing to return later, and be able to diagnose the cause on site rather than simply treating the symptom.
The tools of the trade
High pressure jetting clears stubborn blockages quickly and thoroughly, while a CCTV drain survey lets an engineer see exactly what is happening inside the pipe before deciding on the right fix. For larger volumes of waste water or flooding, tanker services and pump services are used to remove standing water safely.
- High pressure jetting for stubborn blockages
- CCTV drain surveys for accurate diagnosis
- Tanker services for waste removal
- Pump services for flooding and standing water
What happens during an emergency visit
An engineer will usually assess the situation first, identify the safest and most direct way to relieve the blockage or flooding, and then explain what caused it and what, if anything, needs following up afterwards.
Preventing a repeat emergency
Once the immediate problem is resolved, it is worth asking whether a CCTV survey or a programme of regular jetting would help prevent the same issue recurring, particularly if it is not the first time.
