Who We Are
Tackling Every Blockage: Toilets, Sinks & Main Drains
No blocked drain is too big or too small for our expert team. We regularly deal with all kinds of domestic blockages. Is your toilet not flushing properly, or even worse, overflowing? Is your kitchen sink slow to drain, leaving you with dirty water standing in the basin? Perhaps your bath or shower is backing up, or you've noticed foul smells coming from your outside drains. From a simple internal waste pipe blockage to a more serious issue with your main sewer line, we're equipped to handle it all. We don't just clear the immediate blockage; we always aim to determine the root cause, whether it's a build-up of grease and fat, wipes and sanitary products, or something more serious.

Precision Unblocking with High-Pressure Water Jetting
For the most effective and thorough drain unblocking, our primary tool is high-pressure water jetting. Forget fiddly drain rods that only poke a small hole through a blockage; our powerful jetting equipment uses a concentrated stream of water to blast through even the most stubborn obstructions. This method not only clears the blockage but also scours the inside of your drain pipes, removing built-up grease, scale, and debris. It essentially gives your drain a complete clean, restoring its full flow and helping to prevent future blockages. This professional approach means a faster, more reliable clear for your blocked drains in York.
Based in the heart of North Yorkshire, we provide a rapid response across the entire region. From York, Harrogate, and Scarborough to the remote villages of the Dales, our local experts are on hand to deliver trusted, professional drainage services right to your door.
01423 390106Beyond the Blockage: Identifying and Fixing the Real Cause
Sometimes, a blocked drain is just a symptom of a larger problem. That’s why we offer comprehensive CCTV drain surveys. Once we've cleared the immediate blockage, especially if it’s a recurring issue, we can use our state-of-the-art waterproof cameras to inspect the inside of your drains. This allows us to precisely identify underlying problems like cracks, collapses, joint displacements, or invasive tree roots – common issues in older properties in areas like York. Our team provides a full report with clear recommendations, so you know exactly what’s going on underground and what steps are needed for a long-term fix, preventing those frustrating repeat blockages.
Answers to common questions about our Blocked Drains
Got a Blocked Drain in North Yorkshire? Here’s What To Do First
A blocked drain, whether it’s your toilet, sink, or an outside gully, is a real nuisance. We get it. The first thing is not to panic, and please, don’t keep flushing if it’s the toilet – you could make things worse. If you’re seeing slow draining water, odd gurgling sounds, or unpleasant smells, those are classic signs of a blockage building up. For over 30 years, our experienced team at Drain Unblocking North Yorkshire has been providing fast and professional help to homes and businesses across the county, from the streets of York to rural properties in the Dales. We can help identify the cause and get your drains flowing freely again.
Why Does My Drain Keep Blocking? Identifying the Real Cause
It’s incredibly frustrating when you think a blockage is cleared, only for it to happen again. Often, this means there’s an underlying issue that hasn’t been addressed. It could be a build-up of grease and fat, wet wipes (even so-called 'flushable' ones!), or something more serious like tree root ingress or even a damaged section of pipe. Our approach isn't just about unblocking; it's about identifying that root cause. We use our experience, and sometimes CCTV drain surveys if needed, to find out exactly what’s going on in your pipework. This way, we can provide a lasting solution, not just a temporary fix. We offer a comprehensive range of drain repair services if a more complex problem is found.

When you call Drain Unblocking North Yorkshire for an emergency, you get a swift response from a local, experienced professional. We understand that a blocked drain, especially a toilet, needs urgent attention. Our team arrives with all the necessary equipment, whether it’s high-pressure water jetting to clear stubborn waste or specialist tools for more complex obstructions. We work quickly and efficiently to minimise disruption, pinpoint the blockage, and clear it thoroughly. We’ll also advise you on how to prevent it from happening again. Our service is designed to provide peace of mind and get your day back on track as fast as possible.
Can You Help with Commercial Blocked Drains Across Yorkshire?
Absolutely. We provide a full range of drainage services for commercial customers throughout North Yorkshire, including businesses in Harrogate, Scarborough, Middlesbrough, and beyond. We understand that for a business, a blocked drain isn't just an inconvenience; it can mean downtime, health and safety concerns, and lost revenue. Our experienced team is equipped to handle everything from a blocked kitchen sink in a busy York restaurant to major blockages in industrial site drainage. We offer a prompt, professional response, aiming to resolve your drainage issues with minimal disruption to your operations. We can also discuss planned maintenance to help prevent future emergencies.
Is Drain Jetting Safe for My Pipes? What Does It Do?
High-pressure water jetting is a highly effective and generally very safe method for clearing blocked drains when carried out by experienced professionals like our team. It uses a powerful, controlled stream of water to scour the inside of your pipes, breaking down grease, scale, fatbergs, and even some tree roots. Think of it as a deep clean for your drainage system, restoring full flow. Before we start any jetting work, we assess the situation to make sure it's the right approach for your specific problem and pipe type. It’s far more effective than just rodding, as it cleans the entire pipe diameter, not just poking a hole through the blockage.
