How do you know if you have a blocked drain

Blocked and Overflowing Drains & Gullies

This one maybe obvious but one of the first signs of a blocked drain is an inspection cover overflowing or a kitchen gully that won’t drain away. Blocked drains and broken pipes commonly cause drains to overflow and can be very inconvenient. At Envirojet we see this day in day out and are experts in unblocking drains, we unblock most drains within the hour.

Slow draining water

This is a common issue and is often left until it’s too late, if you are able the first port of call should always be to check any inspection chambers on the grounds of your property, if the chamber is full it is an indication that there is a more significant issue further into your drainage system and you may need the help of a professional.

If left a slow flowing drain can often lead to other problems, we would always recommend calling a professional for advice and assistance with unblocking the drainage system.

Smelling Drains

One of the things to look out for is bad odours emanating from the drains. Foul smalls are often one of the first sings of a blocked drain where stagnant water and decomposing solids have gathered. This can be inside or outside of your property, smells often start before any physical sings like overflowing manholes of gullies.

If you do smell drainage odours don’t ignore it call Envirojet for advice and assistance.

Sounds from your pipes or drainage system

Gurgling noises coming from your drains can be a first sign of a drain blockage, these can come from a toilet or plug holes and are indications that there may be trapped air in your pipes. Trapped air in the pipes is commonly caused by build-ups of debris in the drains such as soap, food matter, oil and grease

Internal rising damp in Harrogate property caused by defective drainage.

The featured image is from a Harrogate property recently purchased with rising damp issues. We recommend a CCTV drainage survey to ensure the pipe work close to the property was in good condition and to eliminate this as being the cause, at this stage the drainage system appeared to be working and was not blocked.

Upon further investigation foul water had been building up beneath the floor void due to the mortar being washed away under the damp course and was a major contributor to the rising damp problems within the property.

The “rest bend” (90 degree pipe situated at the bottom of a soil pipe) had a major break causing foul water to leak down the external wall and over time running into the internal floor void. We rectified this by replacing the “rest bend” and piping to the existing drainage system.

This was discovered after the purchase of the property and highlights the need for a Home Buyers CCTV Drain Survey prior to the purchase of any property (domestic or commercial)

The term “drain benching” basically means the built up area of concrete (bricks in some cases) above the level of a pipe within a manhole. Over time this slowly wears away and becomes a place that toilet paper and solids build up eventually causing a blockage, pre formed plastic manholes are an exception.

We can re new the benching of your manhole and prevent future problems, if we can be of any assistance in Harrogate or the surrounding area please contact us on : 01423 819319
