When they arrive, our professional drainage technicians work fast to get the problem under control, and minimise the disruption to your home or business.

With advanced equipment and highly trained technicians, we tackle even the most challenging blockages efficiently and professionally.

Advanced Emergency Unblocking Techniques

Our emergency teams utilise cutting-edge equipment to resolve blockages efficiently:

High-Pressure Water Jetting

To deliver the best results, we use the most advanced equipment around. Our high-powered jets make short work of most blockages, meaning we can provide you with a fast yet effective service. This powerful technique is our primary solution for emergency situations, as it can:

  • Cut through stubborn accumulations quickly
  • Clear pipes completely without damaging their structure
  • Remove debris that mechanical methods cannot reach
  • Provide a thorough clean of the entire pipe system
  • Address blockages deep within your drainage network

Comprehensive Diagnostic Capabilities – CCTV Surveys

When the cause of a blockage isn’t immediately obvious, our emergency technicians employ advanced diagnostic tools:

If there’s a more serious problem with your drains, then we’ll use high-definition CCTV surveying equipment to determine the most cost-effective approach. This allows us to:

  • Pinpoint the exact location of blockages
  • Identify underlying structural issues
  • Determine the most appropriate solution
  • Provide accurate, transparent quotations
  • Create detailed reports of system conditions

Emergency Drainage Situations We Can Help With

Our emergency drain unblocking service addresses a wide range of urgent situations:

Complete Blockages and Flooding

When drains become completely blocked, water has nowhere to go, potentially causing significant property damage. Our emergency teams work swiftly to contain flooding, locate and remove blockages, and restore normal drainage function.

Frozen and Burst Pipes

During winter, pipes can freeze and eventually burst, transforming a simple blockage into a serious water leak. Our emergency response teams can quickly thaw frozen pipes before they burst or provide immediate assistance for burst pipe scenarios, minimising water damage to your property.

Commercial Emergencies

At work, it could leave your business out of action while you get the problem fixed. At home, you might well be unable to run a bath without flooding your floor. What makes things even worse is that drain systems are often pretty complicated- so it can be difficult for the average person to even find the source of the problem, let alone fix it.

Our commercial emergency service understands that drainage failures can significantly impact business operations. We prioritise rapid response for commercial clients to minimise downtime and financial losses.

    Really down-to-earth team who know what they’re doing. Cheers for the help. From the moment they turned up, it was clear we were in good hands. They made the whole process simple and stress-free.

    Didn’t let us down.

    They were recommended by a mate and didn’t disappoint. From the first phone call to the final clean-up, it was clear they knew their stuff. We felt confident we were in good hands the entire time.

    Surprisingly brilliant.

    Never thought I’d be raving about a drain company but here we are. They were just that good. Helpful, friendly, honest – and most importantly, they fixed the problem without any stress.

    Garden sorted, no more flooding.

    Cheers to Clark Drainage for getting our garden sorted after that downpour. Great job. We’d tried a few things ourselves with no luck, but they came in, identified the issue quickly, and had the drainage working perfectly again.

  • 17/08/2025

    Quick turnaround and sorted fast.

    The lads came out next day and fixed the issue in half an hour. It had been bothering us for weeks, so to see it sorted that quickly was honestly a huge relief.

  • 16/08/2025

    Did it right first time.

    We’d had other companies round who couldn’t fix it. Clark Drainage had it sorted in one visit. The difference in professionalism and competence was night and day. Absolutely brilliant from start to finish.

  • 14/08/2025

    Proper pride in their work.

    It’s not glamorous work but they do it with a smile and real pride. Can’t say I’ve ever seen someone so happy clearing a drain, but they made the whole thing stress-free and even a bit fun.
