Blocked drains are a nuisance, and often, it's a build-up of everyday things. In bathrooms, hair, soap scum, and 'flushable' wet wipes are big culprits. In kitchens, it's usually fat, oil, and grease (FOG) that solidify in your pipes, trapping food debris. Sometimes, foreign objects accidentally dropped down a toilet or sink cause the problem. Outside, leaves, dirt, and even tree roots can sneak into your drainage system, especially in older pipes, leading to a blockage. Understanding the cause is the first step to a reliable fix.

You'll usually notice some clear signs if your drain is blocked. Water might drain very slowly from your sink, shower, or bath. You might hear gurgling noises coming from the plughole or toilet, even when you're not using them. Unpleasant smells, like rotten eggs, often waft up from your drains. In more severe cases, water might even back up into your sink, shower tray, or toilet. If you spot any of these, it's a good idea to act quickly to avoid bigger problems.

For very minor clogs, a plunger or some boiling water can sometimes help, especially in sinks. However, be cautious with chemical drain cleaners; they can be harsh on your pipes and the environment, and often only provide a temporary fix. For anything more stubborn, or if it's a main drain, calling in trained professionals like KO Drainage is usually the best and safest approach. Our service uses specialist tools that can properly tackle the problem without causing further damage, and we have the experience to get the job done right.

When you call us for a blocked drain in Glasgow, we typically start by assessing the situation. For most persistent blockages, our go-to method is high-pressure water jetting. We use powerful jetting equipment to blast a strong stream of water through your drains. This effectively breaks up and flushes away fat, grease, scale, tree roots, and other debris that's causing the blockage. It's a really efficient and chemical-free way to clear your drains and restore full water flow. Our fully trained team handles this work safely and quickly.

If you're dealing with recurring blocked drains, it often points to a deeper issue within your drainage system. This is where our CCTV drain survey services become invaluable. We feed a camera into your pipes, giving us a real-time look at what’s going on underground. This lets us pinpoint the exact problem – perhaps a cracked pipe, a collapse, or severe root ingress. Once we identify the underlying cause, we can provide lasting solutions, whether that's a targeted repair, pipe relining, or a tailored maintenance plan to prevent future emergency call-outs.

We understand that a blocked drain can be a real emergency, causing stress and potential damage to your home or business. As a local Glasgow company, we pride ourselves on our rapid response times. We aim to get a fully trained engineer to your property quickly to assess the situation and get to work unblocking your drains. Just contact us on our emergency number, and we'll do our best to be there for our domestic and commercial customers as soon as possible. Our reliable service is here when you need it most.

Absolutely! Prevention is often better than a cure, especially with drainage. For both homes and businesses, we can put together tailored preventative maintenance plans. These services involve periodic cleaning and inspection of your drains, helping to clear away build-ups of grease, scale, and debris before they can turn into a full-blown blockage. Regular maintenance can save you money and hassle in the long run by keeping your drainage system healthy and flowing freely, avoiding unexpected emergencies.
