Blocked sinks, toilets and waste pipes
- Blocked kitchen sink
- A kitchen sink that drains slowly, gurgles or sends stale water back into the bowl can be blocked by grease and food waste buildup. John clears the affected sink and waste pipe, but avoid forcing more water through while you wait because it may spill into the cupboard or across the floor.
- Blocked or overflowing toilet
- A rising water level, poor flush or waste returning to the bowl means the toilet needs prompt attention. Do not keep flushing, and call John directly because urgent toilet blockages are attended day or night.
- Blocked bath or shower waste
- Hair and soap buildup can leave a bath or shower draining slowly, with water pooling around the plughole. John clears the waste route, so stop using the affected fitting while you wait rather than adding more water to it.
- Outside waste pipe or gully
- Standing water, debris or an overflow around an outside gully can indicate a blockage in the outside waste pipe, which is within John's scope. Keep clear of the backed-up water while you wait; a collapsed mains drain or a CCTV survey is referred to a trusted drainage specialist.
John carries out blockage work inside and outside the property. Collapsed mains drains and CCTV drain surveys are referred to a trusted drainage specialist.
