Signs of a drainage problem at a business
Repeated blockages in the same toilets or sinks, slow-draining washrooms and kitchen drains that back up during busy periods are typical signs. Smells in yards, basements or bin stores can point to a problem in the drains below.
Outside, look for standing water in car parks or service yards, gullies that overflow in rain, or manhole covers lifting or leaking. Complaints from tenants or staff about the same issue are worth taking seriously.
How commercial drainage work is approached
The method depends on what is causing the problem. Blockages can often be cleared with rods or jetting. Where they keep returning, a CCTV drain survey can show whether there is damage, scale or a root intrusion in the pipe.
If the survey shows a problem, options may include descaling, patch repair, lining or excavation. Kitchens may need grease trap cleaning, and large volumes of standing water may call for a tanker. We will talk you through the options and what each involves.
What happens on the visit
We meet the site contact, confirm which areas are affected and check access to chambers, which may be in locked areas, car parks or under floor covers. Tell us your opening times and we can discuss when the work is best done.
The work is then carried out, and we run water through to check flow where possible. Before we leave, we explain what we found to the site contact and set out any next step, such as a survey or repair.

Questions about commercial drainage
Who is responsible for drains at a shared commercial building?
It depends on the lease and the layout. In England, shared private sewers and lateral drains generally passed to water companies in October 2011, while drains serving only one building inside its boundary usually remain the owner's. Check your lease and ask the landlord or agent.
Can you work around our opening times?
Tell us your opening times, quieter periods and any areas that must stay open when you get in touch. We can then discuss the most workable time for the visit.
Do you work with managing agents and landlords?
Yes. We take enquiries from landlords, managing agents and property teams as well as business owners. Let us know who should receive updates and who will give access on site.
What should we do while waiting for the visit?
Stop using affected toilets and sinks, put up a notice so staff and customers know, and keep people away from overflowing gullies or open chambers. Avoid pouring chemicals into a blocked drain.
What details help when we call?
The site address and postcode, the type of business, which areas are affected, how long it has been happening, access arrangements and a site contact. Drainage plans or previous survey reports help if you have them.
