Blocked drains in Sudbury
Sudbury’s older terraces often share runs of drain at the back of the houses, and some still have clay pipes that are prone to root intrusion and cracked joints. If one blockage affects several neighbours, it may be a shared drain or a public sewer, and we will tell you if that is the case so you know who to contact.
In kitchens, fat and food waste are the usual cause. In bathrooms it is mostly hair and wipes. Once we have cleared it, we will tell you what caused it and how to avoid it coming back.

How a visit works
Tell us where the water is backing up and whether it affects one fitting or the whole house. That tells us whether the problem is in a single waste pipe or further down the drain. We clear the blockage, check it is running freely and tell you what caused it. If the drain is damaged or is a shared or public sewer, we will explain that and who is responsible for it.

Blocked Drains in Sudbury: common questions
Is the blockage my responsibility?
Usually, the pipes that only serve your home are yours. Shared drains and public sewers are often the water company’s responsibility. We can help you work out which it is.
What causes most blocked drains?
Mostly fat and grease from kitchens, wet wipes and hair. In older properties, tree roots and old clay pipes can also be a factor.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. There is no call-out fee.
