Emergency drain unblocking

What the service should include

Give the provider the water level, affected fixtures, access limitations and chemical history so the engineer arrives with suitable controls and equipment.

• Confirm the affected system and access
• Assess hazards and previous treatments
• Explain the proposed method
• Check the result before leaving

Questions, evidence and outcome

Emergency clearance may restore service without diagnosing every underlying defect; agree whether follow-up camera work is needed.

• What is the attendance window?
• Are out-of-hours and equipment charges stated?
• Does the visit include cleanup or only clearance?
