Drain unblocking is the process of removing obstructions from drainage systems to restore normal flow and prevent wastewater from backing up. Blockages often build up gradually over time as everyday materials such as grease, food waste, soap residue, hair, wet wipes, and debris collect inside pipes. In other cases, blockages can occur suddenly, leading to overflowing drains, unpleasant odours, slow drainage, or even internal flooding.

External factors can also play a role. Tree roots may infiltrate underground pipework, damaged or misaligned pipes can trap waste, and older drainage systems are particularly prone to recurring issues if problems are not addressed properly.

At EJ Drainage, we take a thorough and methodical approach to drain unblocking. Rather than simply clearing the immediate blockage, we focus on identifying the underlying cause of the problem. This allows us to select the most effective unblocking method for the situation, whether that involves manual rodding, high-pressure water jetting, or further investigation where required.

By dealing with the root cause and not just the symptoms, we help reduce the risk of repeat blockages, minimise disruption, and protect your drainage system from further damage. Our aim is to leave your drains flowing freely and give you confidence that the issue has been resolved properly.
