Common Questions

Emergency Drainage Engineer FAQs — Inverness

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 Inverness to clear the blockage.
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 Inverness can help identify where the blockage is.
Do slow-draining sinks always mean a blocked drain? +
Not always. A slow-draining sink is often caused by a localised blockage in the waste trap or the pipe immediately beneath the sink — hair, soap scum and grease are common culprits. However, if multiple fixtures are draining slowly or you notice gurgling sounds, the problem is likely further down in the main drain. A drainage engineer in Inverness can distinguish between a simple waste pipe blockage and a more serious drain issue.
What is the NADC and why does it matter? +
The NADC — National Association of Drainage Contractors — is the leading UK trade body for drainage professionals. NADC members must demonstrate competence, carry appropriate insurance, and adhere to a code of practice. Choosing an NADC-registered drainage engineer in Inverness gives you confidence that the work will be carried out to professional standards with proper equipment.
What is the difference between a drain and a sewer? +
A drain serves a single property and runs from your house to the boundary. A sewer carries waste from multiple properties and is maintained by the water company. Lateral drains — the section connecting your drain to the public sewer — transferred to water company responsibility in October 2011. Understanding this distinction matters because it determines who pays for repairs.
What equipment should a professional drainage engineer have? +
A properly equipped drainage engineer should have high-pressure water jetting equipment (typically 3,000+ PSI), a CCTV drain camera for surveys, electro-mechanical cleaning machines, drain rods, and root cutting attachments. They should also carry personal protective equipment (PPE) including gloves, eye protection and waterproof clothing. Be wary of anyone who turns up with just a set of drain rods — they will struggle with anything beyond a minor blockage.
