blocked toilets

blocked baths and showers
blocked outside drains
overflowing gullies

Common Blocked Drain Problems in Crickhowell
Drain blockages can happen in all types of properties, from homes and cottages to rental properties, shops, pubs, cafés, offices and small commercial premises.
Inside a property, blockages are often caused by a build-up of grease, fat, food waste, soap residue, hair, wipes, sanitary products or general debris. Outside, drains and gullies can become blocked by leaves, mud, silt, stones and waste washed into the system during wet weather.
Around Crickhowell, drainage problems may affect properties close to the town centre, along local roads, near yards and driveways, or in nearby rural and village locations where outside gullies and surface water drainage are especially important.
Common warning signs include:
water rising in the toilet after flushing
sinks or showers emptying slowly
gurgling noises from plugholes
bad smells from drains or gullies
water pooling around outside drains
waste water backing up
overflowing gullies after rain or heavy use
If you notice any of these signs, the blockage is unlikely to improve on its own. Calling for help early can make the issue easier to clear.
How Jonie Clears Blocked Drains
Every blockage is different, so Jonie will look at the problem and use the most practical method for the job.
For straightforward blockages, drain rods may be used to break through the obstruction and restore the flow. This can work well for accessible outside drains, gullies and pipework.
For tougher blockages, high-pressure drain jetting may be used. Jetting helps clear grease, sludge, debris and built-up waste from inside the drain, helping restore proper flow through the pipework.
The aim is to clear the blockage properly wherever possible, not just get the water moving for a short time.
Blocked Outside Drains and Gullies in Crickhowell
Outside drain blockages are common, particularly where leaves, mud, silt and debris collect around gullies. If an outside drain is blocked, water may start pooling around paths, driveways, yards, walls or entrances.
This can be especially frustrating during heavy rain or when the drain is taking waste water from kitchens, bathrooms or utility areas.
Rods Away can help with:
blocked yard drains
blocked driveway drains
overflowing gullies
drains blocked with leaves or silt
waste water backing up outside
unpleasant smells around external drains
slow-flowing outside pipework
If your outside drain in Crickhowell is slow, blocked or overflowing, call Jonie for practical local help.
Blocked Toilets, Sinks, Baths and Showers
Not all drainage problems are outside. Many blockages start inside the property and affect the bathroom, kitchen, utility room or downstairs toilet.
A blocked toilet may be caused by excess paper, wipes, sanitary products or a restriction further along the pipework. A blocked sink, bath or shower may be caused by grease, soap, hair, food waste or general build-up.
Rods Away can help with:
toilets that will not flush properly
water rising in the toilet bowl
slow-draining bathroom sinks
blocked kitchen sinks
showers filling with water
baths taking too long to empty
bad smells from plugholes
If more than one drain is affected, the issue may be further along the drainage system rather than just at one plughole or toilet.
Drain Rodding and High-Pressure Jetting
Rods Away uses practical drain clearance methods depending on the type and location of the blockage.
Drain rodding is often suitable for accessible blockages and can be used to clear simple obstructions in outside drains, gullies and pipework.
High-pressure drain jetting is used for more stubborn blockages and heavier build-up. It uses water at pressure to clear grease, sludge, debris and waste from inside the drain.
Jonie will explain what is likely causing the problem and use the method best suited to the blockage.
