This is a crisis page, not just a service page

Wastewater indoors is an immediate hygiene problem. Stop using water and call before more fixtures surcharge. We help families, HMOs, rentals, offices and hospitality sites with wastewater inside by turning the emergency into a clear plan: what to stop using, what we need to access, how we will clear it, and when a camera survey or repair is genuinely needed.

Why Skippers Hill drainage emergencies happen

Around Skippers Hill, the drainage faults we see most include blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways, manhole overflow and backing-up during heavy use, collapsed or dropped sections in older clay pipework. When the symptom is dirty water rising in the toilet, shower, bath or lowest waste outlet, the safest move is to stop using water and get the run checked fast.

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 Skippers 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 stop the affected run being used, clear the blockage and check whether the main drain is holding waste, 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.
