Drain Backing Up Into Garden

Sewage backing up into your garden is a serious health hazard that needs immediate attention. This usually indicates a major blockage or collapse in your underground drainage, and the waste has nowhere to go but up through the nearest access point.

What to Look For

  • Sewage water pooling around manhole covers
  • Overflowing gullies and drain access points
  • Foul-smelling standing water in the garden
  • Sewage smell around outdoor areas
  • Soggy, waterlogged areas near drain runs
  • Toilets and sinks backing up at the same time

How We Diagnose the Problem

We attend as an emergency, contain the overflow, and then use CCTV cameras to inspect the drainage system. We identify the blockage point and determine whether it's caused by a collapse, root intrusion, fat buildup, or a problem in the public sewer.

Think you might have drain backing up into garden? A professional inspection will confirm the diagnosis.

How We Fix It

We clear the immediate blockage using high-pressure jetting, then repair any structural damage found. If the problem is in the public sewer, we help you report it to the water authority. All work is followed up with a CCTV verification survey.
