After dry spells, silt, leaves and debris build up in drains and pipes. When the rain returns, that debris gets washed in and can block the system, causing slow drains, gurgling, bad smells and overflowing gullies.
Warning signs:
• Water pooling around gullies or manholes
• Slow-draining sinks, baths or toilets
• Gurgling noises from pipes
• Drain smells outside or in the kitchen
Don’t wait for it to flood. We clear blockages fast with jetting and CCTV checks across Preston, Penwortham, Leyland, Fulwood, Bamber Bridge, Lostock Hall, Walton-le-Dale, Longridge and Chorley.
Q&A.
Why do drains block when it rains?
Silt and debris build up during dry spells. Heavy rain then washes it into the drains, where it settles and causes blockages.
We recently attended a customer’s property in Lostock Hall to install a new inspection chamber, improving access to their existing drainage system.
Why is this important?
Having suitable access points makes it much easier to carry out future maintenance, CCTV drain surveys, and investigate any potential drainage issues. It can save time, reduce disruption, and help identify problems before they become bigger headaches!
At Preston Drainage Unblocking Services, we provide professional drainage solutions tailored to our customers’ needs, from blocked drains and CCTV surveys to drainage repairs and newinstallations.

Blocked Drain Investigation – Not Everything Is as It Seems!
We recently attended a site to investigate a reported blocked drain. After carrying out our investigation, we discovered that the issue wasn’t a typical blockage!
The cause? A displaced electrical conduit/ducting.
The displacement had created an opening, allowing water entering the ground to flow into the ducting containing electrical cables. This can lead to water ingress and potentially cause further issues if left unresolved.
This is a great example of why proper drainage investigations are so important. The visible symptoms don’t always reveal the underlying problem!
At Preston Drainage Unblocking Services, we use our expertise and specialist equipment to investigatedrainage issues and identify the root cause, helping our customers find the right solution.

Blocked toilet about to overflow in Preston city centre, fixed the same day
We had an urgent call from a disabled customer in Preston citycentre whose toilet was blocked and close to overflowing. Water was rising, and the bathroom was at risk of flooding. For someone with limited mobility, that’s more than an inconvenience; it’s stressful and unsafe.
Our Preston Drainage Unblocking Servicesengineer arrived quickly, found the causeand cleared the blockage before any water spilt. We then checked the drainage run outside, where the inspection chamber was flowing freely with the water level back to normal. The toilet flushed properly and the bathroom stayed dry.
What we did:
Rapid response to an emergency blocked toilet
Cleared the blockage from the toilet and pipework
Checked the inspection chamber for a clear flow
Left the property clean and the customer reassured
Blocked toilet in Preston, Penwortham, Leyland or the surrounding area? Don’t wait for it to overflow. We’re a local, family-run drainage company with over 10 years’ experience, and we treat vulnerable and disabled customers as a priority.

Nobody wants a blocked toilet with customers coming through the door! We recently attended a local coffee shop in Preston to get to the bottom of a drainage issue and get things flowing again.
Here’s how we tackled it:
Investigate – We attended site to assess the blocked toilet and identify the issue.
Clear the blockage – We got to work clearing the obstruction and restoring the flow.
Dye test – Once the blockage was cleared, we introduced dye into the toilet to test the drainage.
All flowing freely! – We observed the dye passing through the drainage system freely, confirming the blockage had been cleared and the toilet was draining as it should.
Another job completed and another local business back to business!
Because when it comes to drainage problems, we believe in getting the job done properly, not just flushing the problem away!
