A blocked drain can mean very different things from one property to the next. You may have a kitchen sink that has almost stopped draining, a toilet that keeps filling when flushed, standing water outside the house or several fixtures beginning to back up at the same time. Drain Division clears blocked drains across Solihull and can investigate further when the cause is not immediately obvious.
Our engineers work across Solihull, Shirley, Olton, Knowle, Dorridge, Bentley Heath, Dickens Heath and neighbouring areas. We help homeowners, landlords and businesses with individual blockages as well as problems affecting a larger section of the drainage system.
The symptoms can often give an indication of where the problem lies. A single slow sink may point to a localised waste-pipe blockage, whereas several fixtures backing up together can suggest an obstruction further along the drainage system. Outside drains holding water or overflowing may also indicate that the blockage is beyond the internal pipework.
Some drainage problems can be dealt with before they become severe. Others need attention quickly. If sewage or wastewater is coming back into the property, an outside drain is overflowing near the building or essential facilities cannot be used, our 24/7 emergency drainage service in Solihull is available. Call 01216 951 342 if the problem cannot wait.
Our Solihull coverage extends beyond the town centre. We attend properties around Shirley and Olton as well as communities further south including Knowle, Dorridge, Bentley Heath and Dickens Heath. That means the same service is available whether the blockage is affecting a town-centre property, a suburban home or commercial premises elsewhere in the area.
If the same drain has been unblocked more than once, it is worth finding out why. Repeated blockages can be caused by material remaining inside the pipe, but they can also point to damage such as displaced joints, root ingress or a collapsed section of drainage.
A CCTV drain survey allows an engineer to inspect the inside of the pipe rather than relying only on what can be seen at ground level. If a structural problem is found, Drain Division can advise on the appropriate drain repair, including drain relining, root ingress removal or work to a collapsed drain.
For more difficult obstructions that cannot be shifted with straightforward clearance methods, drain jetting may also be used to clear built-up material from the pipework.
Possibly. Slow drainage is often one of the first signs that material is beginning to restrict the pipe. If the water is becoming progressively slower to disappear, dealing with the obstruction before the pipe becomes completely blocked can prevent a more disruptive problem.
If several sinks, toilets or other drainage points are affected at the same time, the obstruction may be further along the drainage system rather than confined to one waste pipe. An engineer can investigate where the blockage is located and determine the most suitable way to clear it.
Yes. Our Solihull coverage includes Shirley, Olton, Knowle, Dorridge, Bentley Heath and Dickens Heath as well as Solihull itself. If you are nearby but unsure whether we cover your address, call 01216 951 342 and our team can advise you.
Wastewater or sewage backing up into the property, an overflowing outside drain or an essential toilet becoming unusable can all make a blockage urgent. Our emergency drainage service in Solihull is available 24/7 for problems that cannot reasonably wait.
No. There is no call-out fee. Drain clearance is charged in half-hour increments once the engineer begins the work. If further remedial work is needed after the blockage has been cleared, this is carried out for an upfront fixed price.
Sometimes the original obstruction has not been completely removed, but repeated blockages can also indicate a problem with the pipe itself. Root ingress, cracked pipework, displaced joints and collapsed drains are all possible causes. A CCTV drain survey can help establish what is happening.
Yes. Standing water in an outside drain can indicate that the outlet is obstructed further down the system. We clear blocked outside drains and can investigate further if there are signs that the blockage is recurring or the pipework is damaged.
CCTV is particularly useful when the cause of a problem cannot be established from the surface or when the same drain keeps blocking. The camera allows an engineer to inspect inside the pipe and identify obstructions or structural problems that may require repair.
