Certainly. We provide a vital emergency service for businesses across North Yorkshire, including restaurants, hotels, retail outlets, offices, and industrial sites. We know that a drainage problem can halt your operations, impact health and safety, and cost you money. Our team is experienced in working on commercial systems and will work quickly to get your business back on track with minimal disruption.

Firstly, don't panic. If water is overflowing, try to contain it as best you can with old towels. Avoid using any more water in the affected appliances (e.g., don't flush the toilet again if it's blocked, don't run taps into a blocked sink). It’s also wise to stop using your washing machine or dishwasher if you suspect a main drain blockage. If you can, open windows to help with any odours. Your safety is key, so avoid contact with wastewater.

Clear communication is very important to us. Our engineers will explain what they’ve found, what the cause of the blockage or issue is, and what work is needed to fix it – all in straightforward terms. We want you to be fully informed and happy with the solution we provide. We pride ourselves on honest, transparent service.

Yes, absolutely. Drain Unblocking North Yorkshire holds full Public Liability Insurance. This provides complete peace of mind for all our customers, whether domestic or commercial, protecting your property and our staff while we carry out any work. We are also fully accredited, so the job will be done to the highest industry standards.

Our aim is always to provide a lasting solution, not just a temporary fix. While clearing the immediate blockage is the priority in an emergency, our experienced team will also investigate the cause. Whether it's grease build-up, flushed wipes, tree roots, or a damaged pipe, we'll identify it. We can then advise on the best way to prevent it from happening again, which might include CCTV surveys or recommending repairs if needed.

If, after clearing the emergency blockage, we discover an underlying issue like a cracked, collapsed, or root-infested pipe, we have the expertise and equipment to help. Our services include CCTV drain surveys to fully assess the damage, and we offer a range of repair options, including 'no-dig' drain relining and traditional excavation repairs. We'll discuss all findings and options with you, providing a clear quote for any further work that might be necessary to ensure a long-term solution. Our established team is here for all your drainage needs, from a simple unblock to more complex repairs and maintenance.
