💥 What Counts as a Drainage Emergency?
Many drainage problems start small… but when they escalate, the damage can be immediate and costly. Here are the most common drainage emergency scenarios we handle daily across Bournemouth and surrounding areas:
🔴 1. Blocked Toilets & Urinals
Problem:
Water rising to the brim, not flushing properly, or gurgling sounds? A blocked toilet is one of the most common and disruptive emergencies — especially for homes with only one bathroom or businesses open to the public.
Action:
We arrive fast, diagnose the blockage, and clear it using high-pressure jetting or mechanical rodding.
Risk if ignored:
Wastewater overflow, foul odours, health hazards, unusable facilities.
🔴 2. Flooding from Manholes or Gullies
Problem:
External drains overflowing into driveways, paths, or even ground-floor rooms. This can happen after heavy rain or due to a deep blockage in shared drains.
Action:
Our team uses jetting to restore flow and checks for structural issues with CCTV drainage surveys if required.
Risk if ignored:
Water ingress into the property, contaminated floodwater, damage to foundations or landscaping.
🔴 3. Kitchen or Bathroom Backflow
Problem:
Water or waste coming back up into sinks, showers, or floor drains usually signals a major blockage further down the system.
Action:
We locate and clear the blockage, disinfect the affected area, and advise on repairs or maintenance if the issue is recurring.
Risk if ignored:
Property damage, exposure to harmful bacteria, unusable fixtures.
🔴 4. Emergency Commercial Drainage
Problem:
Restaurants, bars, shops, and offices cannot afford downtime. A blocked staff toilet, kitchen gully, or floor drain can halt business operations instantly.
Action:
We prioritise commercial emergencies and offer discreet, out-of-hours service to minimise disruption to trade.
Risk if ignored:
Business closure, lost income, health & safety compliance issues.
🔴 5. Smells or Gurgling with No Obvious Blockage
Problem:
Unexplained smells or air bubbles could signal a developing emergency — such as partial blockages, airlocks, or collapsed pipework.
Action:
We conduct a rapid CCTV drain inspection to identify and resolve the problem before it becomes an urgent situation.
Risk if ignored:
Escalation to full blockage, property damage, tenant complaints (in rentals).
🔴 6. Overflowing Septic Tanks or Soakaways
Problem:
In rural properties or homes with older drainage systems, we often deal with blocked soakaways or failed septic tanks that cause surface flooding or smells.
Action:
We identify whether the issue is within the outlet pipework, the soakaway chamber, or external blockage, and clear it accordingly.
Risk if ignored:
Saturated ground, failed waste disposal, regulatory breaches.
