Blocked Drains & Pipes FAQs

FAQs about blocked drains & pipes

Can you clear a blockage quickly?

Yes, most blockages can be cleared on the first visit using appropriate methods. Tell Alfie the symptoms and he’ll book an unblocking specialist.

What are the signs of a serious blockage?

Overflowing fixtures, gurgling sounds, bad smells and slow drainage can indicate a deeper issue. A proper assessment will confirm the best fix.

Is it safe to use chemical drain cleaners?

They can be harsh and sometimes make matters worse. It’s usually better to get a professional to clear the line safely.

Will you need access outside?

Possibly, depending on where the blockage sits. The plumber will advise and keep any disturbance to a minimum.

Can you help prevent it happening again?

Yes. After clearing, the plumber can suggest maintenance or changes to reduce future build-ups.

Do you offer CCTV drain surveys?

Where needed, a survey can be arranged to identify underlying issues. Alfie will coordinate this if recommended.

How much does unblocking cost?

It depends on severity and access. You’ll see clear rates upfront, and the plumber will explain expected steps before starting.
