What causes blocked drains in Manchester
Large parts of Manchester still rely on Victorian sewers and shared back-to-back drains, where one defect can affect several homes. High rainfall and old pipes make blockages and backed-up sewers a common theme, most of all in the older inner suburbs.
- Surcharging and backing-up on older combined sewers
- Shared back-to-back drainage where one defect affects several homes
- Root and joint failures in original Victorian clay pipes
- Blockages worsened by high rainfall and ground movement
Why it matters
Clearance
Jetting and rodding clear most blockages. Ask how many visits the job is likely to need, so you can plan around it.
Verified clear
Ask for a camera check afterwards to confirm the blockage has gone, and to see the state of the pipe. That way, you know the job is done.
Cause flagged
If something keeps causing blockages, a camera check can spot it. You can then fix the cause, rather than pay to clear it again.
What it usually includes
Ask the engineer to confirm what their quote covers, since this varies.
- Locating the blockage and choosing the right clearance method
- High-pressure jetting or mechanical rodding to clear it
- A camera check to confirm the run is clear (ask for it)
