If you need a drain unblocking in Hull, it usually starts with a gurgling sink, a bad smell from outside, or water backing up somewhere it shouldn't. Our Hull drain unblocking service clears the blockage and tells you what actually caused it, so you're not calling us back out in three weeks for the same job.

We carry rod sets, high-pressure jetting equipment and a CCTV camera on every van, so most blocked drains in Hull are found and cleared in a single visit. If the cause turns out to be a collapsed pipe or root ingress rather than a simple blockage, we'll show you the footage and quote the repair before doing anything further.

Hull's flat ground means drains have very gentle falls, so silt and debris settle more easily and blockages build up in the low spots. We find exactly where a blocked drain sits, then clear it properly.

  • Water draining away slowly in sinks, baths or showers
  • Gurgling sounds from pipes after you flush or empty a sink

Drain unblocking in Hull: common questions

How much does drain unblocking cost in Hull?

It depends on where the blockage is and what's causing it. A straightforward internal blockage costs less than an external drain run needing jetting. We always talk you through the likely cost before we attend.

How do you unblock a drain?

Most drains are unblocked with drain rods or high-pressure jetting, depending on what's causing the blockage and where it sits. If a drain keeps blocking, we put a CCTV camera down it to find the real cause rather than just clearing it again.

Yes. Call or WhatsApp 07455 859451 at any time, day or night. Genuine emergencies, like sewage backing up indoors, are prioritised, and we'll tell you honestly how soon we can be with you.

Call or WhatsApp and we'll be straight with you about how quickly we can realistically get there. Genuine emergencies, like sewage backing up indoors, are prioritised over routine bookings.

Who is responsible for a blocked drain in Hull?

You're usually responsible for drains that serve only your property, within your boundary. Since the 2011 transfer of private sewers, many shared drains are now Yorkshire Water's responsibility. We'll tell you honestly which applies to your blockage, and our guide on who pays for a blocked drain explains it in full.

How do I report a blocked drain in Hull?

A blocked public sewer should be reported to Yorkshire Water, and a blocked road drain or gully on the street to Hull City Council. If the blockage is in your own drains, or you're not sure whose it is, call us and we'll check.

Should I try a chemical drain unblocker first?

Generally, no. Shop-bought unblockers rarely clear a proper blockage, and they make the job messier and slower for whoever unblocks the drain afterwards.
