A drainage system can continue working at reduced capacity for some time before a complete blockage occurs. Slow drainage, gurgling and changes at an outside drain can all be early signs. Drain Division provides drain unblocking in Exeter for homes, landlords and businesses.
We cover Exeter and nearby areas including Heavitree, St Thomas, Pinhoe, Topsham, Alphington and Exwick, with emergency drainage assistance available 24/7 when wastewater is backing up or overflowing.
If water still drains away, it is easy to assume there is no blockage. In reality, a partially restricted pipe can gradually lose capacity until several fixtures begin to slow or wastewater rises elsewhere in the system.
When multiple toilets, sinks or drains react together, the blockage may be further along shared drainage rather than close to one fixture. An outside drain that rises when water is used indoors can be an important clue.
If a blockage returns, a CCTV drain survey can help identify root ingress, cracking, displaced joints or collapsed pipework. Where necessary, we can advise on repairs, relining or root removal.
For stubborn deposits and heavier build-up, high-pressure drain jetting may be suitable to clean the inside of the pipe and restore flow.
If sewage is backing up into the property, a drain is overflowing or an essential toilet cannot be used, call 01392 308 167. Emergency drain unblocking in Exeter is available 24/7.

Drain clearance is charged in half-hour increments once the engineer starts work. The final cost depends on the blockage and whether any additional work is required. Once the drain is unblocked, any further remedial work is carried out for an upfront fixed price. There is no call-out fee.
Jetting can be suitable for stubborn blockages and accumulated deposits that need more thorough removal.
