Dealing with Drain Blockages and Blocked Toilets: Expert Solutions from Aquablast Drain Services
Updated: Oct 9
Blocked toilets, slow sinks and external drain backups can disrupt a home or business. Aquablast Drain Services Ltd assesses the affected drainage route and selects a suitable clearance method rather than applying the same remedy to every symptom.

Describe the problem clearly
Which fixture or outdoor drain is affected?
Is water overflowing or entering the property?
Are other fixtures or neighbouring premises affected?
Has the same problem occurred before?
Have chemicals or tools already been used?
First steps and professional clearance
Stop adding water to backed-up fixtures. A suitable plunger may help a minor local blockage, but avoid it where chemicals have been used or water could overflow. Professional rodding, jetting or mechanical clearance may be appropriate depending on access and findings. A recurring problem may need CCTV inspection.
Prevent repeat misuse
Keep fats and food out of kitchen wastes, use hair strainers in bathrooms and bin wipes and sanitary products. Where roots or damaged joints are identified, clearance and repair are separate decisions. Follow any specific recommendations recorded after the visit.
Frequently asked questions
Should I keep flushing a blocked toilet?
Stop flushing if the water is rising. More water can cause an overflow. Avoid using other affected fixtures until the problem is assessed.
Does one slow fixture mean the main drain is blocked?
Not necessarily. The restriction may be local to its trap or waste pipe. Several affected fixtures can suggest a downstream problem, but inspection is needed to establish the cause.
When might CCTV inspection be useful?
It can help when blockages recur, the cause is uncertain or a repair needs evidence. Ask whether inspection and a report are included in the agreed work.
Will every blockage be cleared with jetting?
No. The engineer selects a method based on access, pipe condition and the obstruction. Damaged or collapsed pipework may need separate repairs.
