Drain Unblocked: Burnham-on-Sea Somerset
Updated: Oct 9
A kitchen sink in Burnham-on-Sea was backing up because wastewater could not pass freely through the drainage route. Aquablast’s original report records an obstruction extending towards the external garden drain.

The customer problem
Water was building up at the sink rather than draining normally. The report describes restricted flow between the kitchen drainage and the outside main waste drain. Standing water was the symptom; the report does not establish a specific material as the confirmed cause.
Clearance workflow
Assess the kitchen and external drainage route.
Use a drain jetter to clear the recorded obstruction.
Test the drain with water after clearance.
Explain the work and prevention advice to the customer.
Recorded result
The original job report records successful clearance on the first visit and normal drainage following the water test. Pre-report photographs were taken and shared with the customer. This account retains the documented method and result without adding an unrecorded repair or diagnosis.
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.
