This service addresses blocked sinks, baths and waste pipework through inspection, clearance and functional testing to restore normal drainage where possible.
Access to the affected sink, bath or waste pipe is established and the surrounding area is checked for visible signs of water escape, contamination or damage. Exposed fittings, traps and pipework are assessed for safe working conditions before clearance begins.
The blockage is traced using visual inspection and basic diagnostic checks. The condition of the trap, waste run, joints and nearby drainage components is reviewed to identify debris, scale, grease, partial obstruction or a deeper drainage fault.
Suitable clearance methods are used according to the type of obstruction and the condition of the pipework. This may include removing and cleaning accessible traps, clearing waste runs or using appropriate tools to break up and remove the blockage.
After clearance, the sink or bath is run through to confirm that water drains at a normal rate and that no immediate leaks are present at joints, seals or fittings. Any remaining restriction or abnormal noise is noted as part of the final assessment.
The completed work is explained together with any limitations arising from the condition of the pipework, appliance or drainage system. Where further investigation, replacement parts or additional drainage work is required, this is identified for separate attention.
¶ Blocked Sink, Bath or Waste Pipe
