What To Do In A Drain Emergency

In a drain emergency, taking the proper steps can prevent further damage and ensure a quick resolution:

  • Identify the Problem: To understand the issue, look for signs like water backing up or unpleasant smells.
  • Stop Water Use: Stop using water sources on the property to prevent adding to the overflow or blockage.
  • Check External Drains: Safely inspect any accessible external drains for obstructions or overflow.
  • Avoid DIY if Unsure: If the problem seems complex, it’s better not to try fixing it yourself, as this might make the situation worse.
  • Contact Professionals: Call professional drainage engineers like ASH Environmental for expert assistance. We are equipped to handle various emergencies swiftly.
  • Safety First: Prioritise your safety and that of others. Keep away from potentially contaminated areas and avoid direct contact with wastewater.
  • Document the Issue: Take photos or videos of the problem to help the professionals understand the situation before they arrive.
  • Clear the Area: Remove any valuable items or obstacles around the affected area for easier access for the professionals.

Remember, quick action combined with professional help effectively manage drainage emergencies.

Emergency Drainage FAQs

Do you provide 24 hour emergency drainage services?

Yes, A.S.H. Environmental provide 24 hour emergency drainage support for urgent problems such as blocked drains, overflowing manholes, blocked toilets, external drain blockages, water leaks and drainage failures that need prompt attention.

What counts as a drainage emergency?

A drainage emergency can include sewage backing up, an overflowing drain or manhole, a blocked toilet, foul smells, flooding caused by drainage failure, a serious underground leak or any drainage issue that is causing immediate disruption, damage or health concerns.

Can you help with emergency blocked drains?

Yes, we can help with emergency blocked drains for homes, businesses, farms and rural properties. Our engineers can assess the blockage and use suitable equipment such as drain rods, mechanical machinery or high-pressure jetting to restore flow wherever possible.

Do you attend overflowing outside drains and manholes?

Yes, we attend overflowing outside drains, gullies and manholes. These issues can be caused by blockages, silt, grease, debris, root ingress or damaged pipework, so we work quickly to clear the immediate problem and advise if further investigation is needed.

Can you help if sewage is backing up into my property?

Yes, sewage backing up should be treated as urgent. We can attend to investigate the cause, clear the blockage where possible and advise on any repairs, cleaning, CCTV survey or further drainage work needed to prevent the problem returning.

Do you offer emergency water leak repairs?

Yes, we can help with urgent water mains leaks, burst water supply pipes and suspected underground water leaks. Our team can assess the problem, locate the source where possible and recommend the most practical repair or replacement option.

What happens if the emergency issue keeps coming back?

If a drainage emergency keeps happening, there may be an underlying issue such as damaged pipework, root ingress, a collapsed drain, poor falls or a recurring blockage. In these cases, we may recommend CCTV drain inspection or further investigation after the immediate issue has been resolved.
