Blocked Drains & Sinks in Leicester & Syston
Blocked sink, basin, bath or waste pipe? I provide drain and waste pipe unblocking across Syston, Leicester and surrounding areas of Leicestershire.
Whether the water is draining slowly, backing up or not draining at all, I can investigate the cause and clear many common household plumbing blockages.
Blocked Drain & Waste Pipe Services
Blockages can develop gradually or appear suddenly. I can investigate and clear a range of common internal drainage and waste pipe problems around the home.
Blocked Sinks & Basins
Slow or completely blocked sinks and basins can be caused by grease, food, soap, hair and other debris building up inside the trap or waste pipework.
Traps & Wastes
Problems with traps and waste fittings can cause slow drainage, leaks and unpleasant smells. I can inspect, clean or replace faulty waste components where required.
Slow-Draining Sinks
A sink doesn't need to be completely blocked before there's a problem. Slow drainage, gurgling or water taking longer than usual to disappear can be an early sign of a developing blockage.
Blocked Baths & Showers
Hair, soap and other deposits can gradually restrict bath and shower wastes, causing water to drain slowly or collect in the tray or bath.
Blocked Waste Pipes
Blockages further along the waste pipe can affect how quickly water drains from sinks, basins and other plumbing fixtures. I can investigate accessible waste pipework and clear suitable blockages.
Recurring Blockages
If the same sink or waste keeps blocking, there may be an underlying issue rather than a simple one-off blockage. I can investigate the accessible pipework to help identify what's causing the problem.
Signs You May Have a Blocked Drain
A blockage isn't always immediately obvious. Water draining more slowly than normal, gurgling noises, unpleasant smells or water backing up into a sink, bath or shower can all indicate a problem with the waste pipework.
Getting the problem looked at before the pipe becomes completely blocked can help avoid water overflowing or causing further problems.
What Causes Blocked Sinks & Drains?
Everyday waste can gradually build up inside household pipework. Kitchen sinks commonly suffer from grease, fats and food debris, while bathroom wastes are more likely to collect hair, soap and other deposits.
Some blockages can also be caused by foreign objects or problems further along the waste pipework. I'll investigate the likely cause before deciding on the most appropriate way to clear it.
How Much Does Drain Unblocking Cost?
My standard rate for general plumbing work is £50 per hour, plus any parts or materials required.
The time needed to clear a blockage will depend on where it is located, how severe it is and how easily the affected pipework can be accessed.
If you send me a few photos and a description of the problem beforehand, I can often get a better idea of what's likely to be involved.
Internal Drain & Waste Pipe Blockages
I mainly deal with household plumbing blockages involving sinks, basins, baths, showers, traps and accessible internal waste pipework.
For larger external drainage problems, collapsed drains, excavation work or issues requiring specialist CCTV drain equipment, a dedicated drainage company may be more appropriate.
