Emergency Blocked Drain in Biggin Hill

Why Biggin Hill drainage emergencies happen

A lot of drainage in Biggin Hill predates the people using it. Extensions, loft conversions and added bathrooms load runs beyond their original design, and that's when hidden faults finally show. That mix is exactly why we bring both clearance equipment and CCTV capability to urgent calls in TN16.

What happens when you call

1. 1

   Phone triage

   We ask what is overflowing, where the lowest affected point is, and whether sewage or flooding is already inside the Biggin Hill property.

2. 2

   Make it safe

   We tell you what not to use while you wait — usually toilets, sinks, appliances and any drain connected to the affected run.

3. 3

   Clear the blockage

   On site we isolate the blocked run, clear it with rods or high-pressure jetting, then check the line so the same blockage is not left waiting to return, using the safest method for the pipework rather than forcing the same tool into every job.

4. 4

   Explain the cause

   Before we leave, we tell you whether it was misuse, fat, silt, roots, a shared drain issue or a structural defect that needs follow-up.

Common warning signs in Biggin Hill
