Slow drains, sewer smells, overflowing gullies and backed-up waste lines.
A blocked drain can start as a slow basin or shower, then turn into a filthy backup through a toilet, outside gully or manhole. ERS clears the line, checks the likely cause and explains whether it looks like a once-off blockage, root ingress, collapsed pipework or a repeat maintenance issue.
Common symptoms
Slow sinks, gurgling toilets, bad smells, overflowing outside drains, waste backing up into showers or repeated blockages after heavy use.
Likely causes
Root ingress, fat and soap buildup, foreign objects, sagging waste lines, old joints, collapsed sections or blocked manholes.
