Drains blocked - HELP PLEASE

WeeJohnyB · 23-Dec-2004, 17:27

Waste drain from the house is blocked. I can gain some access outside, but the drain is overflowing. I've tried pushing various things as far as I could and tried some B&Q 'Drain Unblock', but no joy.

Help - anyone any advice before I have to get someone in?

Unless youve got a set of drain rods then looks like you might have to get someone in. Get someone reputable though like dyno rod or similar.
Where is it blocked, in the house or somewhere under ground? When my sink blocks i can just take the short length of plastic pipe apart and get the blockage out.

Can you give us any more info?

If you have a jet wash, you can get an attachment which can be used to clear the blockage. Works for me.

Fordie to the rescue, what a boy, he'll be here first thing in the morning with his rods to see if he can help, otherwise, it'll have to be Dyno Rod. The problem is outside, the two main external waste drains are overflowing. I've been up to my shoulder in crap removing all sorts of stuff, but no movement. It's dark now, so I'm stuffed.

My hero is on the way though.

YYyyyyyuuukkkkk!

Hard to come up with something LESS appealing than Christmas shopping, but you've done it.

Fordie will sort you out, no doubt. Good Luck!

Hope you and your family have a good Christmas WJB

Just a word of advice. Never, ever put hose pipes or anthing else similar down fowl water drains. You run the risk of contaminating your water supply

Fordie - my hero

The boy done good - he popped down this morning and sorted it all out - major blockage that can't be explained on a family website.

Thanks Fordie, you're a complete star mate.
