At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we understand the importance of resolving the issue quickly and efficiently to prevent further damage to your property.

Before we dive into the steps to unblock a sewage drain, it's essential to understand the common causes of blockages. These include:

• Grease and fat buildup
• Tree roots infiltrating the drain
• Debris and waste accumulation
• Poor drainage maintenance

If you notice any of the following signs, it's likely that your sewage drain is blocked:

• Slow draining or gurgling sounds
• Water backing up into your property
• Unpleasant odors emanating from the drain
• Flooding around the drain area

If you're experiencing a blocked sewage drain outside your property in East Lothian, follow these steps:

1. Turn off the water supply: Locate the stopcock and turn it clockwise to shut off the water supply to the affected area.
2. Use a drain snake or plumber's auger: Feed the snake or auger into the drain and rotate it to break up any blockages.
3. Apply high-pressure water jetting: If the blockage is more severe, use a high-pressure water jet to clear the drain.
4. Check for tree roots: If you suspect tree roots are causing the blockage, consider hiring a local specialist to remove the roots.

To prevent future blockages, it's essential to maintain your drainage system regularly. Here are some tips:

• Regularly clean your drains: Use a drain cleaner or plumber's snake to clear any debris or buildup.
• Install a drain guard: A drain guard can catch hair and other debris before they enter the drain.
• Be mindful of what you flush: Avoid flushing items that can cause blockages, such as wet wipes and sanitary products.
