Common Questions

Emergency Drainage Engineer FAQs — Abingdon-on-Thames

Can I unblock my own drain or should I call a professional? +
Simple blockages near plugholes can sometimes be cleared with a plunger or drain snake. However, if you have sewage backing up, multiple drains blocked at once, or persistent foul smells, you should call a professional drainage engineer in Abingdon-on-Thames. Using chemical drain cleaners on severe blockages rarely works and can damage older clay pipes. Professional high-pressure jetting is far more effective and safer for your drainage system.
What should I do if my drain is overflowing outside? +
If an external drain or manhole is overflowing, check whether it is a shared drain serving multiple properties. Since October 2011, lateral drains and public sewers became the responsibility of your water company, so contact them first if the blockage is beyond your property boundary. If it is a private drain within your boundary, call a drainage engineer in Abingdon-on-Thames to clear the blockage.
What causes a foul smell from my drains in Abingdon-on-Thames? +
Foul drain smells are usually caused by a dried-out trap (the U-bend), a cracked or disconnected pipe, or a blockage building up in the system. If the smell is coming from outside, it could indicate a broken manhole cover seal or a collapsed section of drain. Run water through any infrequently used sinks or showers to refill their traps first. If the smell persists, a CCTV drain survey will identify the cause.
Who is responsible for drains — me or the water company? +
You are responsible for private drains within your property boundary. Since October 2011, lateral drains (the section that runs from your boundary to the public sewer) and the public sewer itself are the responsibility of your local water company. If a blockage is beyond your property boundary, contact your water company first — they will clear it at no charge. A drainage engineer in Abingdon-on-Thames can help identify where the blockage is.
How often should I have my drains surveyed? +
For most domestic properties, a CCTV drain survey every 3 to 5 years is sufficient to catch problems early. If you have mature trees near your drains, older clay pipes, or a history of blockages, consider annual surveys. You should also commission a drain survey before buying a property — it can reveal expensive problems like collapsed sections or root intrusion that are not visible from the surface.
