The problem reported
The booking described blocked bathroom facilities. The notes do not isolate a particular item as the cause, so the case focuses on the bathroom drainage problem and the work recorded by the attending engineer.
Working within the bathroom
The original job photographs document the bathroom facilities. For this page, a clean basin photograph provides suitable visual context without showing waste in the toilet.
How the blockage was cleared
The engineer used a wet vacuum and a flexible shaft. The completion note records both tools as the method used to clear the blocked bathroom, providing a clear account of the workflow.
The recorded outcome
The blocked bathroom was recorded as cleared. This was a clearance visit; the notes do not document an external pipe repair, excavation or a CCTV survey.
When to seek drainage help
Tell the team whether a basin, bath, shower or toilet is affected, and whether another fixture triggers gurgling or back-up. Avoid sending wipes or other non-toilet waste down the WC. If the symptoms return, share the pattern so the engineer can decide whether further investigation is needed.
