Signs you have a drainage problem

Most drainage problems start small. These are the ones worth ringing about before they get worse.

  • Water draining slowly

    A sink, bath or shower that takes longer and longer to empty

  • Gurgling from plugholes

    Air being pulled through a partly blocked pipe

  • Bad smells

    From plugholes, toilets or an outside drain

  • Toilet rising when flushed

    Water backing up instead of going away

  • Outside drain overflowing

    A gully or inspection chamber filling up after use or rain

  • Damp or leaks

    Around waste pipes, under sinks or behind the toilet

What we deal with

  • Blocked sinks, baths and showers
  • Blocked toilets
  • Blocked outside drains and gullies
  • Leaking traps and waste pipes
  • Waste pipework repaired or replaced
  • Waste runs for new kitchens and bathrooms

Questions we get asked

  • Drains that serve only your property, inside your boundary, are usually yours. Since 2011, most shared sewers and drains outside your boundary are the water company's, which in Colchester is Anglian Water. If you are not sure, ring us and we will help you work out whose it is.

  • Fat, oil and grease, wet wipes (even ones labelled flushable), cotton buds and food waste cause most domestic blockages. Bin them instead.

  • Yes. We repair or replace leaking traps, joints and waste pipework under sinks, behind toilets and on outside walls.
