Frequently asked questions about blocked drains:
What are drains and sewers?
A drain is a single pipe which transports foul sewerage from an individual property. A private drain is the individual responsibility of the person owning the property. A sewer conveys foul sewerage from a group of properties.
How do I know if I have a blocked drain?
Blocked drains are usually noticeable by the fact that the toilet will no longer flush away your waste or the manhole covers outside are overflowing. Another identifying factor of blocked drains is often the smell that the blockage emits.
Who should I report a blocked drain to?
If the drain is on your land you will need to actually attend to the maintenance of it yourself, should it become blocked. You should report any other blocked drains which are in public areas to your local council and they will be best able to advise you.
Why do drains actually block?
Drains and sewers may become blocked for a variety of reasons. As they are continually conveying waste and draining it away, it is very easy for them to become blocked. If you notice that the water is not draining away properly after you have had a bath or when you empty a sink it is imperative that you take immediate action as it might mean that the drain already has a partial blockage. It is for this reason that they should be regularly checked and maintained by an expert.
