What is a emergency drainage?
Emergency drainage is a fast response to urgent problems — flooding, sewage backing up into a property, or a complete blockage. We arrange the quickest available attendance, clear the immediate danger, and check on camera for the underlying cause.
Some drainage problems cannot wait — flooding, sewage backing up into a property, or a complete blockage that stops you using sinks and toilets. Because these escalate fast, they need a quick, calm response to limit the damage.
Tell us what is happening and where you are. We will then arrange the quickest available attendance, clear the immediate problem, and check on camera for any underlying cause.
When you need a emergency drainage
- Sewage or waste water backing up into the property
- Flooding from a drain, gully or manhole
- A complete blockage stopping all drainage
- An overflowing manhole or a contamination risk
Why it matters
Fast response
We prioritise urgent flooding and sewage situations. Because these escalate quickly, we aim to get a crew to you as fast as possible.
Limit the damage
Quick clearance reduces the risk of flooding and contamination. As a result, you limit the mess, the cost and the disruption.
Check the cause
Once the emergency is under control, we look for what caused it. That way, you fix the root problem rather than waiting for it to strike again.
What's included
- The fastest available attendance for your area
- Immediate clearance and making the situation safe
- A camera check for the underlying cause once it is under control
- Clear advice on any permanent repair needed
How it works

Tell us what's happening
First, describe the problem and location so we can prioritise correctly. Because details help, tell us if sewage or active flooding is involved.

Rapid attendance
Next, we arrange the fastest available crew to clear the immediate issue. Meanwhile, we advise on anything you can do to limit the damage.
- 03
Make safe & advise
Finally, we stabilise the situation and recommend any follow-up repair. You then know what, if anything, still needs doing.
