Are you experiencing issues with a blocked drain outside in East Lothian? Don't let the problem persist, as it can cause damage to your property and lead to further complications. At Blocked Drains Edinburgh, we provide expert drainage services to help you unblock your drain quickly and efficiently.

Before attempting to unblock your drain, it's essential to identify the cause of the blockage. Common causes of blocked drains include:

• Debris and leaves accumulating in the drain
• Grease and fat buildup
• Tree roots growing into the pipes
• Cracked or damaged pipes

To unblock a drain outside, you'll need the following tools and equipment:

• A drain snake or plumber's auger
• High-pressure water jetting equipment (optional)
• Protective gloves and eyewear
• A bucket or container to catch water

1. Turn off the water supply: Before starting the job, ensure the water supply to the drain is turned off. This will prevent further water from flowing into the drain and making the problem worse.
2. Remove any visible blockages: Use a pair of gloves and a bucket to remove any visible debris or leaves from the drain.
3. Use a drain snake or plumber's auger: Feed the drain snake or plumber's auger into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe. This will help break up any blockages.
4. Use high-pressure water jetting equipment (optional): If the blockage is severe, you may need to use high-pressure water jetting equipment to clear the blockage.
5. Check the drain: Once you've removed the blockage, check the drain to ensure it's flowing freely.
