If you need a drain unblocking in Liverpool, it usually starts with a gurgling sink, a bad smell from outside, or water backing up somewhere it shouldn't. Our Liverpool drain unblocking service clears the blockage and tells you what actually caused it, so you're not calling us back out in three weeks for the same job.
We carry rod sets, high-pressure jetting equipment and a CCTV camera on every van, so most blocked drains in Liverpool are found and cleared in a single visit. If the cause turns out to be a collapsed pipe or root ingress rather than a simple blockage, we'll show you the footage and quote the repair before doing anything further.
From dense Victorian terraces in Wavertree to the larger older villas around Woolton, what's actually causing a blocked drain in Liverpool depends entirely on which of those you're dealing with. We check with a camera rather than guess, so the fix matches the real cause, not just the postcode.

Drain unblocking in Liverpool: common questions
How much does drain unblocking cost in Liverpool?
It depends on where the blockage is and what's causing it. A straightforward internal blockage costs less than an external drain run needing jetting. We always talk you through the likely cost before we attend.
How do you unblock a drain?
Most drains are unblocked with drain rods or high-pressure jetting, depending on what's causing the blockage and where it sits. If a drain keeps blocking, we put a CCTV camera down it to find the real cause rather than just clearing it again.
Do you offer 24 hour drain unblocking in Liverpool?

How quickly can you unblock a drain in Liverpool?
Call or WhatsApp and we'll be straight with you about how quickly we can realistically get there. Genuine emergencies, like sewage backing up indoors, are prioritised over routine bookings.
Who is responsible for a blocked drain in Liverpool?
You're usually responsible for drains that serve only your property, within your boundary. Since the 2011 transfer of private sewers, many shared drains are now United Utilities' responsibility. We'll tell you honestly which applies to your blockage, and our guide on who pays for a blocked drain explains it in full.
How do I report a blocked drain in Liverpool?
A blocked public sewer should be reported to United Utilities, and a blocked road drain or gully on the street to Liverpool City Council. If the blockage is in your own drains, or you're not sure whose it is, call us and we'll check.
Should I try a chemical drain unblocker first?
Generally, no. Shop-bought unblockers rarely clear a proper blockage, and they make the job messier and slower for whoever unblocks the drain afterwards.
