Blocked drains sorted properly, not just pushed further down the pipe.
A blocked drain rarely announces itself politely — it's a gurgling sink, a bad smell from outside, or water backing up somewhere it shouldn't. Network Drains 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 blockages 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.
From Victorian terraces in Chorlton to the postwar streets of Wythenshawe, the cause of a blocked drain in Manchester changes with the age of the property, from root damage in older pipework to straightforward fat and food waste build-up in newer housing. We check with a camera before quoting, so you're paying to fix the actual problem.
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.
Since the 2011 transfer of private sewers, many shared drains that used to be your responsibility are now United Utilities'. We'll tell you honestly which applies to your blockage — see our full guide on who pays.
