Drainage Advice & Emergency Guide

What to Do When You Suspect a Drainage Emergency

Practical guidance from Dave Kershaw (25+ years experience) on spotting serious faults early and protecting your home.

5 Warning Signs of Drain Failure

  • Gurgling sounds from plug holes & toilet bowls.
  • Persistent foul sewer smells inside or outside.
  • Sinks, baths, or washing machines emptying sluggishly.
  • Soggy, sunken, or lush grass patches over pipe runs.
  • External manholes overflowing or backing up.

Who Pays: You or United Utilities?

Understanding drainage ownership saves time and money:

Private Drains (Homeowner): Pipes inside your boundary serving solely your property. We unblock and repair these rapidly.
Lateral Drains & Sewers (Water Co): Pipes shared with neighbours or beyond your boundary. Maintained by United Utilities.

Emergency Action Steps

If sewage is backing up into your bathroom or kitchen:

  1. Stop running taps and turn off dishwashers/washing machines.
  2. Avoid chemical unblockers which can emit toxic fumes and damage pipework.
  3. Keep children and pets away from standing grey water or manholes.
  4. Call Dave directly on 0747 414 1343 for <1 hour dispatch across Greater Manchester.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick, transparent answers to common drainage and relining questions.

We believe in 100% upfront, transparent pricing with no hidden surprises. We assess your drainage issue and provide a clear quote before starting any work. Please note that out of hours charges apply for evening, weekend, and late-night emergency call-outs.
We pride ourselves on our rapid response. Across Greater Manchester and Rochdale, our emergency service aims to be with you in under 1 hour for urgent blockages and overflows.
Trenchless relining (CIPP) is an advanced, no-dig method of repairing cracked or broken pipes. We insert a special resin-coated sleeve inside the damaged pipe, which cures to create a tough, seamless new pipe within the old one—saving your driveway or garden from being dug up.
Homeowners are responsible for private drains inside their property boundaries that serve only their house. If a pipe is shared with neighbours or lies outside your boundary under the street, it is the responsibility of the regional water supplier (United Utilities across Greater Manchester).
Recurring blockages are often caused by underlying structural defects rather than simple paper clogs—such as cracked clay pipes, tree root ingress, fat/grease build-up, or misaligned joints. A CCTV drain survey pinpoints the exact cause.
Yes. We are fully insured and certified, including confined space entry certification, allowing us to safely manage complex commercial infrastructure and deep manhole work.
Yes. Our trenchless pipe relining and structural patch repairs come with long-term structural guarantees, designed to last 50+ years under normal conditions.
