Blocked sinks and drains
Sinks, baths, showers and outside drains cleared with rods, a drain machine or a jetter, and checked with a camera if it keeps happening.
If it's happening now
A blocked sink, bath or drain
Can it wait?Once you've done the steps above, this can wait a few hours if you'd rather. A daytime visit costs less.
- Stop running water into it, including the washing machine and the dishwasher.
- For a sink or a bath, try a plunger with the overflow held shut under a wet cloth.
- Outside, lift the drain cover if you can do it safely and see whether it's full. Don't climb into anything.
If sewage is coming up inside, call now. A blockage in a public sewer is the water company's to clear, and we'll tell you if it is.

Questions
Who's responsible for a blocked drain?
A drain that only serves your home is yours. Once it joins a neighbour's, it's usually a public sewer, which the water company clears free. We'll tell you which it is.
