When drains make strange noises or get clogged, it can be really frustrating for both businesses and homeowners, messing up your daily routine. Figuring out the cause of the blocked drains and fixing the problem is the only way to save yourself from worsening issues.
Blocked drains in Sterte are a common plumbing issue that occurs when foreign objects, debris, or substances accumulate and obstruct the normal water flow through pipes and drains. This can lead to slow drainage, sewer backups, and potentially unpleasant odours.

When drains are blocked, they can start to smell really bad. This happens because leftover food can get stuck in the pipes and start to rot. This smell can get worse when you use the tap.
If water takes a lot of time to go down the drain, there might be something blocking it. It’s like the water is trying to squeeze through a tiny space.
If you flush the toilet and the water level goes higher than usual, there might be a blockage in the toilet pipe. And if the water starts to overflow, the problem could be particularly complicated.
Sometimes, you might hear weird gurgling sounds from drains and sinks. This could mean there’s a blockage. The gurgling sound happens because there’s trapped air trying to get out when the water goes down.
Fast Drains uses the following comprehensive drain clearance approach to effectively tackle different types of drain blockages.
Our experts start by figuring out exactly where the drain problem is located. They do this by doing an assessment and using a video camera to inspect the sewer.
Non-invasive cameras are used to look inside the drain pipes. These cameras can see things like buildup, clogs, tree roots, and potential issues. The cameras can look up to 150 feet inside the pipes, even in hard-to-reach places.
If the clog is near the drain opening, a manual drain snake might be used. This tool has a spinning corkscrew head that breaks up blockages. It’s suitable for simple toilet clogs and small debris.
For tougher clogs, a motorised drain snake is employed. It’s a flexible metal cord with a rotating head and blade. It can cut through hard clogs, like stubborn grease and tree roots.
If loose debris remains, a water jetter is used. This tool works like a powerful drain washer. It sends high-pressure water (4,000 PSI or more) down the drain to blast away buildup and debris. It can reach hundreds of feet in the drain without damaging the pipe interior.
Who takes care of the sewer pipes is divided between the water company, Severn Trent Water, and the people who own homes. The water company, Severn Trent Water, is in charge of fixing blocked pipes that are part of the public sewer system in the city.
If the blockage is in the smaller, private drain that carries waste from a house to the big, public sewer pipes, the homeowner is responsible for clearing the blocked drain. Or the neighbours and homeowner collectively, if they share the private drain.
If you have a blocked drain, it’s an excellent idea to contact a professional emergency plumber. They will carefully check the problem and repair it. Contact Fast Drains to solve the issue 24/7.
The cost of unblocking a drain can differ based on the drain’s location, the problem’s complexity, and the type of pipes. Usually, it can be between £80 and £200 on average.
Avoid pouring greasy or oily stuff down the drain to deter future blockages. Use a strainer to capture hair and other bits.
