No matter what their size, any drain or sewer has the potential to become blocked. Whether that is down to a lack of maintenance or a one-off problem, blockages can cause huge disruption and expensive clean-up costs.
Like anything, drains and sewers need to be properly checked and maintained throughout the year. Failing to do so could cause you a vast number of problems including a build-up of debris, excess waste and blockages.
Here at Elliott Environmental Drainage Ltd, we’ll be able to check your drain thoroughly and eradicate any debris and excess material that could potentially cause a blockage.
We’ll aim to fully understand the reason why the drain is blocked, as it will not only enable us to fix the problem but also prevent it from reoccurring. We won’t focus on an immediate fix; instead, we deliver a service that ensures the longevity of your drains.
Our fleet will provide an excellent service, which is cost-effective and completely suited to your needs and requirements, no matter how big the task at hand. In fact, we’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, so make sure to get in touch today.

What Causes Blockages?
Your drainage system and sewers are only designed to take water from your toilets, sinks, baths and shower, along with human waste and toilet tissue. Everything else should be, without fail, put in the bin, otherwise, it could cause a blockage.
Typically, blockages are caused by;
- Fat, oils and food leftovers solidifying in the pipes,
- Wet wipes (even the flushable ones),
- Sanitary items.
How Can You Identify a Blockage?
If there is a blockage in your property, it will be your personal responsibility to unblock it. The following signs may indicate that it is on your property;
- Your neighbours haven’t experienced any problems with their drains,
- You don’t share a drain with any other property,
- There’s no other flooding in the local area.
Why Should You Get Your Drains Checked?
Commercial drains, in particular, should be checked regularly. This is because they may be holding corrosive and in some instances, toxic materials that need to be disposed of regularly and efficiently.
In fact, blocked drains can even halt the production of certain goods within manufacturing plants.
Ensuring your drains are properly checked will also be beneficial should you come to sell your property, whether it is commercial or domestic, as proving that you have had your drains cleaned can help with the resale value.
