Our team of experienced engineers is here to provide you with expert advice on how to unblock your outside drain and prevent future blockages.

Before we dive into the steps to unblock your outside drain, it's essential to understand how your drainage system works. Your outside drain is designed to collect rainwater and wastewater from your property and direct it away from your home. The drain is typically connected to a network of pipes, including cast iron pipes, which can be prone to blockages.

Blocked outside drains can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Debris and leaves accumulating in the drain
• Grease and fat buildup in the pipes
• Tree roots growing into the pipes
• Poor drainage maintenance

If you're experiencing issues with a blocked outside drain, follow these steps to try and clear the blockage:

1. Clear the drain cover: Remove any debris or leaves that may be accumulating on the drain cover.
2. Use a drain rod: Insert a drain rod into the drain and push it through the pipe to try and dislodge the blockage.
3. Use high-pressure water jetting: If the blockage is more severe, you may need to use high-pressure water jetting to clear the pipe.
4. Check for tree roots: If you suspect that tree roots are causing the blockage, you may need to call a professional to clear the roots.

If you're unable to clear the blockage yourself, it's time to call a professional.
