A collapsed drain can occur due to a variety of reasons, including:

If you notice any of the following signs, you may have a collapsed drain:

• Slow draining sinks or toilets
• Gurgling sounds from the drains
• Water backing up into the sink or toilet
• Cracks in the walls or floors
• Unpleasant odors or smells

Repairing a collapsed drain can be a complex and costly process. The cost of repair will depend on the severity of the damage, the location of the collapse, and the type of pipe material. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we use the latest technology and equipment to diagnose and repair collapsed drains.

Before we begin any repair work, we will conduct a thorough drain survey to identify the location and extent of the damage. This will help us to determine the best course of action and provide you with an accurate quote for the repair.

The cost of repairing a collapsed drain can vary widely, depending on the complexity of the job. On average, the cost of repair can range from £500 to £5,000 or more. Here are some estimated costs for different types of repairs:

• Cleaning and clearing blockages: £100-£500
