Unblock a drain in Stamford: 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.
