What’s included

What Our Sewer Clearance Service in Sheffield Includes

Every blockage is different, but a typical sewer call-out follows the same steps.

  1. Finding the Blockage

    We lift the manhole covers to see where the blockage is and whether it’s in your drain or a shared sewer.

  2. Clearing It

    We clear the blockage by rodding or jetting the drain.

  3. Checking It’s Flowing

    We run water through to make sure everything drains freely. If it keeps blocking, we can check it with a CCTV drain survey.

  4. Cleaning Up

    We clean up around the manhole and the affected area before we leave.

Highly recommended. I called Billy Emergency Plumbing Sunday evening for a blocked sewage drain. He offered to come straight out but I was happy to wait until Monday and he came out first thing. Quickly identified the issue and sorted out the blockage leaving everything clean and tidy. I would not hesitate to use his service again.

Billy did a fantastic job, was patient as the man hole blockage was far worse than initially seemed. He took time to ensure everything was done correctly and did a professional job cleaning up all mess afterwards! Would definitely recommend

Who is responsible for a blocked sewer?

You’re usually responsible for the drain that only serves your property, within your boundary. Sewers shared with neighbours, or outside your boundary, are usually the water company’s responsibility. We’ll find where the blockage is and tell you.

How do I know if it’s the drain or the sewer?

If only one sink or toilet is blocked, it’s usually that fitting’s own pipe. If several are blocked at once, or your neighbours have the same problem, it’s more likely the main drain or a shared sewer.

Is sewage dangerous?

Raw sewage carries bacteria. Keep children and pets away, wear gloves if you have to touch anything, and wash your hands thoroughly.

What causes sewers to block?

The most common causes are wet wipes, sanitary products, fat poured down sinks, tree roots and damaged pipes.

Can you come out at night or at the weekend?

Yes. We’re available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays.

Do you charge for call-outs?

No. We never charge for call-outs, and we offer free estimates.
