Clear blocked drains with less uncertainty
Symptoms properly diagnosed & assessed
We check where flow is restricted before selecting a clearance method.
Help & support for recurring faults
We can investigate repeat blockages instead of clearing the symptom alone.
Urgent same-day attendance available
We take calls around the clock when wastewater or overflow cannot wait.
Restore flow before the disruption grows
Slow drainage, gurgling sounds and unpleasant smells often appear before a drain stops flowing completely. You may also see wastewater returning through a toilet or sink, or an inspection chamber overflowing outside. We assess which part of the system is affected before choosing how to clear it. Depending on the obstruction, we may use controlled jetting or remove compacted debris from the route. Prompt action helps restore normal use and reduces the chance of wastewater spreading into areas that are difficult to clean. We provide blocked drain clearance for homes, rental properties and commercial premises throughout Ferryhill.
Find out why the blockage happened
A one-off collection of waste or debris may only need a straightforward clearance. When the same drain blocks repeatedly, simply restoring flow may leave the real fault untouched. Roots, cracked pipework, displaced joints or a poor internal pipe condition can keep trapping material. We can recommend a CCTV inspection where the symptoms suggest a deeper problem. The camera findings can guide root removal, a local repair, relining or replacement. We explain what we've found before further work, so you can understand why the blockage returned and what could prevent another disruption.
Frequently asked questions
What are the signs of a blocked drain?
Slow-draining water, unpleasant smells, gurgling sounds and water backing up can all indicate a blocked drain. You may also notice standing water or an overflowing outside drain. If you spot these signs, contact NexFlow before the problem gets worse.
How do you unblock a drain?
We assess the problem and choose a suitable method for clearing it. This may include drain rods or high-pressure water jetting to break up blockages and remove build-up. If the cause isn't clear, a CCTV drain inspection can help identify the issue.
How much does drain unblocking cost?
The cost depends on the location and severity of the blockage, access to the drain and the equipment needed. Contact us for a free quote. Giving us a description of the problem and any photos can help us assess what's required.
