A Swindon property had a blocked gully connected to the manhole drainage, causing water to back up. Aquablast’s original report records an assessment using drain rods followed by high pressure water jetting.

The reported problem


The obstruction restricted flow between the premises drainage and the manhole route. The report describes backed-up water and accumulated debris, without establishing a specific root problem or pipe collapse.


Clearance workflow


  • Check the drainage and assess it with rods.

  • Use a high pressure drain jetter to clear the obstruction.

  • Run water to check flow after clearance.

  • Explain the completed work and prevention recommendations.


Recorded outcome


The report records successful clearance during the first visit and the drain functioning as intended after testing. Pre-report photographs were recorded and shared with the customer. Ongoing care should focus on disposal habits and investigation if the same symptoms return.

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.


How do I book or request a quotation?
