Some drainage problems can't wait for a convenient slot — sewage coming back up through a toilet or floor drain, or a drain overflowing near the house, needs sorting quickly to limit the damage and the mess. Call the number above and we'll talk you through what to do while we're on our way.
We prioritise genuine emergencies over routine bookings, and we'll always be straight with you on the phone about how quickly we can realistically get to you.
Low-lying areas near the River Aire and the canal in Kirkstall and Hunslet can see drains struggle in heavy rain, but a drain can back up anywhere in Leeds. Our emergency callouts cover the city day and night.

Questions people ask
What should I do while I'm waiting for you to arrive?
Stop using any taps, toilets or appliances that feed the affected drain — that's usually the single biggest thing that stops a bad situation getting worse before we arrive.
Is this covered by my home insurance?
Escape of water and some drainage emergencies are covered by many home insurance policies — worth a quick check with your insurer, and we're happy to provide a report if you need one for a claim.
