Blocked drain, or just a lot of rain?
Water standing in the wrong place has more than one possible cause. Here is how we tell them apart.
Foul water coming up
Water rising from a toilet, bath or inside drain, often with a smell, points to a blocked drain or sewer line. That needs attention quickly, and it is what our emergency drain unblocking is for.
Surface water that will not drain away
Puddles on a drive or patio can come from a blocked gully, a drain that cannot keep up, or simply heavy rain. If the water stays long after the rain stops, something is probably blocked.
Water that keeps returning
If clearing a drain only helps for a while, the pipe may be damaged or partly collapsed. A CCTV drain survey will show you.
How we can help in Hoddesdon
What we can do for you in Hoddesdon and Broxbourne:
When foul water is rising, emergency drain unblocking gets things moving again. If a gully or pipe keeps filling, jetting cleans it out and a CCTV survey shows whether the pipe is damaged. Where the survey finds a fault, drainage repairs put it right. Tanker and specialist services are there for larger jobs, and general plumbing covers pipework, taps and installations.

Blocked drain questions in Hoddesdon
Do you cover both Hoddesdon and Broxbourne?
Yes. Hoddesdon (EN11) and Broxbourne (EN10) are both within our coverage area.
How do I know if a drain is blocked or it is just the weather?
Foul water, smells or water rising from toilets and baths point to a blocked drain. Puddles that stay long after rain stops can mean a blocked gully or surface-water drain. If you are not sure, call 07301 977507 or send a photo on WhatsApp.
Should I worry about a gully that overflows in heavy rain?
It is worth checking. A gully full of leaves or silt cannot cope with extra water. If it keeps overflowing after being cleared, the pipe beyond it may need looking at.
What happens if it floods at night?
Call us. We offer a 24/7 emergency response and work seven days a week. While you wait, keep people clear of any water that has come inside.
Why wet weather shows up weak drains
Heavy rain puts extra water into drains that may already be partly blocked, narrowed or damaged. The weakest point often shows itself first: a gully that overflows, a manhole that fills, or a pipe that backs up into the property.
That is why a drain that gives trouble in wet weather is worth investigating when it is dry again. Jetting can clear and clean the line, and a survey can show whether there is damage. Left alone, the same drain will usually fail again at the next downpour.
If you have noticed a drain struggling when it rains, call 07301 977507 and describe it. We will tell you what we think is happening and what the next step should be.
