It could be something as simple as a foreign object being flushed accidentally causing your toilet to back up or it could be the symptom of a much bigger problem. These include broken or cracked pipes, root ingress or subsidence. Ask a drainage expert to check it out for you!

There are two main types. These being surface water (such as rainwater from gutters) and foul water (such as from the bathroom and the kitchen). Surface water goes through gullies and into storm drains and is discharged into rivers and onto beaches. Foul water drains into a manhole and then to a waste water treatment plant through the main sewer network. Homes built after around 1970 will have a dual system that drains both foul water (from the loo) and grey water (shower, sink, dishwasher, etc.). Older houses will have separate systems. Alternatively, if you are not connected to the main network you may have a septic tank or soakaway. If you are experiencing blocked drains give us a call!

Manholes are generally found wherever drainage pipes join together or where a single pipe changes direction. This the point that they usually become blocked. They provide easier access for engineers to fix the problem and should always be accessible. If you are planning to transform your outdoor space this summer give us a call! We can talk you through options to divert your drains and relocate your manholes.

U bends allow the toilet to trap water within the bend which prevents foul smells from entering your property. The gases are allowed to escape safely from the vent pipe that extends just above the roof. If you have any funny smells coming from your drains there could a problem so give us a call.
