Unblock a drain in Lincoln: the basics
What the job involves
An outside drain that overflows, gurgles or smells is usually blocked in the pipe run between your house and the sewer. A drainage contractor will lift the inspection cover, find where the water is backing up, and clear it with rods or a high-pressure water jet. If blockages keep coming back they can put a camera through the pipe to look for a collapsed section, roots or a misaligned joint.
Safety and good to know
Drains inside your boundary that serve only your home are normally your responsibility; shared sewers and pipes beyond the boundary are normally the water company's (Anglian Water for most of Lincolnshire), so check with them before paying for work on a shared pipe. Avoid pouring strong chemicals down an overflowing drain, which makes the job less safe for whoever clears it.

Who is responsible for a blocked drain?
Generally you are responsible for drains within your property boundary that serve only your home. Pipes shared with neighbours and public sewers are usually the water company's responsibility even if they run under your garden. If in doubt, ask the water company first.
