Why Is Water Backing Up in My Drains?

Water backing up through drains, toilets, or manholes is a sign of a serious blockage or failure in your drainage system. When wastewater can't flow away, it has nowhere to go but back up through the lowest access point. This is a health hazard that needs urgent attention.

What to Look For

• Toilets overflowing or filling when other fixtures are used
• Water rising in sinks when the washing machine runs
• Sewage coming up through shower or bath drains
• Manholes overflowing in the garden
• Water backing up only during heavy rain
• Multiple fixtures affected simultaneously

How We Diagnose the Problem

We attend urgently to assess whether the problem is a main drain blockage, a collapsed pipe, or an issue with the public sewer. CCTV cameras locate the exact cause and position, and we determine whether it's your private drain or the water company's responsibility.

How We Fix It

We clear the immediate blockage with high-pressure jetting, then repair any structural damage found. If the issue is in the public sewer, we help you report it to the water authority with CCTV evidence. Emergency containment is provided while permanent repairs are arranged.
