When a drain blocks, you need immediate action, not an answerphone. As your local Blackpool-based drainage experts, we offer a guaranteed rapid response to emergency blockages across the Fylde Coast and all of Lancashire, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We provide a fixed-price resolution using the industry’s most effective and non-disruptive technology—High-Pressure Water Jetting—ensuring your system is flowing freely and safely with minimal hassle.

Why High-Pressure Water Jetting is Superior to Traditional Rodding

Traditional drain rodding is a temporary solution that often just pokes a hole through a blockage, leaving behind the hardened grease, scale, and silt on the pipe walls. Our High-Pressure Water Jetting (HPWJ) service is a comprehensive clean that restores your pipes to their near-original condition, dramatically reducing the risk of a swift recurrence.

The Power of HPWJ: A Comprehensive Clean

We use commercial-grade jetting units, operated by WJA (Water Jetting Association) accredited engineers, that can deliver up to 4,000 psi of pressure. This focused power is used to:

  • Scour Pipe Walls: The forward and backward-facing jets clean the full 360° inner diameter of the pipe, removing corrosive scale, silt, and bacterial build-up.

  • Disintegrate Tough Obstructions: HPWJ easily breaks down severe, stubborn materials that rods cannot penetrate, including solid ‘fatbergs’ from FOG, mineral deposits, and compacted debris.

  • A Non-Invasive Method: The flexible hose navigates complex pipe systems and deep bends without the physical force that can risk cracking older or fragile pipes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Drain Unblocking & Water Jetting

1. How quickly can you get to my property in Blackpool?

As we are based locally on the Fylde Coast, we aim to provide a rapid emergency response. We guarantee to have an engineer dispatched to Blackpool, Poulton, or Lytham within 90 minutes of your call, 24/7, to resolve your blockage fast.

2. Do you charge a call-out fee for emergency blockages?

No. We operate a clear, fixed-price policy for standard domestic drain unblocking. You only pay the agreed-upon fixed rate for the work needed. There are absolutely no hidden call-out charges or extra fees.

3. What is High-Pressure Water Jetting and why is it better than rodding?

High-pressure water jetting is the most effective method for drain clearance. It uses powerful, high-velocity jets of water to cut through and flush away stubborn obstructions like fat, scale, debris, and even tree roots, ensuring the pipe is fully clear. Rodding often only pokes a hole through the blockage.

4. What should I do if my outside drain is overflowing?

Stop using all water immediately (toilets, sinks, showers). Avoid attempting to unblock it yourself with chemical cleaners, as this can be dangerous. Call our 24/7 Blackpool emergency number straight away for expert assistance.

5. What causes blocked drains most often in the Blackpool area?

In residential areas of the Fylde Coast, the most common causes are unflushable items (wipes), hair/soap scum, and FOG (Fat, Oil, Grease). Due to the local coastal environment, older pipes can also be susceptible to sand and silt ingress.

6. Can you clear commercial blockages (e.g., in hotels or restaurants)?

Yes. We specialize in commercial drainage, including urgent, heavy-duty blockages caused by large volumes of FOG and trade waste—a frequent issue for Blackpool's extensive hospitality sector. We offer pre-planned maintenance contracts to prevent recurrence.

7. What if the blockage is caused by a collapsed or broken pipe?

If we cannot clear the blockage with jetting, we will immediately carry out a basic camera inspection to diagnose the structural issue. We can then provide a quote for permanent repairs, including trenchless drain lining options, minimizing disruption.

8. Do you guarantee your blocked drain clearance work?

Yes, all standard drain clearances are backed by our guarantee. If the same blockage recurs within a specified period (e.g., 90 days) due to our work, we will return to clear it free of charge.

9. Who is responsible for the blocked drain: the homeowner or United Utilities?

Generally, you are responsible for the drains inside the boundary of your property up to the public sewer connection. The public sewer is the responsibility of United Utilities. We can quickly determine the responsible party during our initial inspection.
