    Can Drains Unblock Themselves?

    When life gets busy, it can be tempting to leave any drain unblocking until it’s causing significant problems. You might wonder if the issue will resolve itself. Depending on the type and extent of the blockage, drains can sometimes unblock themselves —however, it often takes weeks or months. 

    In some cases, the materials blocking the drain will break down, but enough bacteria needs to build up for it to start to dissolve. During this time, continuing to use your toilet, sink, or other waterways can create more blockages. 

    This is why it’s essential to get blocked drains sorted as soon as possible — particularly if the issue affects a business premises. When you own a business, keeping your drains clear is vital for the smooth running of your company and for providing a safe working environment.

    If left, blocked drains can affect toilet facilities as well as produce nasty odours, both of which can cause problems for your business. Without a drainage specialist to sort the issue early on, wastewater and sewage could back up and cause flooding. 

    We see a lot of basement flooding problems in London. The good news is that regular drainage checksand flood prevention can help eliminate the risks.

    Minimise The Risk Of Blocked Drains: Regular Maintenance & CCTV Surveys

    How to Clear a Blocked Drain Yourself?

    With drainage networks, prevention is often better than cure. What starts as a small blockage can worsen, eventually leading to flooding, broken drains, or foul odours.

    Regular drain maintenance can detect potential blockages and damage before the problem escalates.

    The team at Drain 365 uses advanced CCTV drain survey equipment to inspect your drains and highlight any issues. 

    By inserting a camera probe into the drainage system, we relay high-resolution video footage to a monitor so we can see what’s going on. Our drainage engineers can then quickly locate the source of the issue and resolve it.

    Why else might you want to book a CCTV drain survey in London?

    Often, small drain blockages can be cleared with a few simple techniques. It’s helpful to try these first, and if you can’t unblock the drain yourself, we’re only a phone call away.

    To tackle the drain blockage, we recommend:

    • First, use a plunger to create suction and dislodge the blockage.
    • If that doesn’t work, try a drain rod or a plumber’s snake to break up debris.
    • For smaller clogs, pour a mixture of baking soda and vinegar down the drain, followed by hot water — but avoid using harsh chemicals which can damage pipes.
    • If the blockage remains, please feel free to contact us, and we’ll sort it out for you.

    What Causes Blocked Drains in London?

    In cities like London, blocked drains can occur for a number of reasons, affecting both domestic and commercial properties. In many cases, debris or materials that can’t break down are the culprits — for example, fats, oils and grease, baby wipes, paper towels, sanitary products, and toiletries.

    However, other common sources of blocked drains include:

    • Tree root ingress
    • Mineral build-up
    • Broken or collapsed pipes
    • Heavy rainfall (which can make minor blockages worse)

    Our team have the tools to sever roots, descale pipework and provide professional drain unblocking services across London. From Barnet and Tottenham to Chiswick and Wembley, we can identify the cause of your blocked drains and sort the issue efficiently and affordably.

    To learn more, call our team on 0800 699 0922 or fill out our simple contact form, and we will get back to you as soon as we can.

    Our Hydro Jetting Services for Blocked Drains in London

    In our 25 years of experience unblocking drains in and around London, we’ve found that the best solution is to use a hydro-jetting machine. Using a high-pressure jet of water, we can blast the blockage out.

    The water is pressurised enough that it appears to be a solid stream when it emerges from the nozzle, which helps it break down the blockage further and clear it out.

    We add a special detergent to help loosen any grease or other blockages and keep everything flowing freely.

    Hydro jetting can be a messy job, and the drains will need cleaning after the unblocking. Our professionals are a dab hand at the process and can swiftly restore your drains to their former glory. It’s a great solution for industrial environments, commercial spaces, and domestic properties.

    What are the Main Causes of Blocked Toilets in London?

    Toilets in cities like London are vulnerable to a range of potential blockages — both accidental and deliberate.

    In our experience of unblocking drains and toilets across London, the most common causes tend to be:

    Human Waste

    Human waste can cause tough, unpleasant blockages that resist plungers and standard unblocking tools.

    Toilet Paper

    While designed to dissolve in water, large amounts of toilet paper can clump — especially when mixed with other materials, leading to difficult blockages.

    Wet Wipes and Baby Wipes

    Unlike toilet paper, wet wipes remain intact in water, making them a frequent cause of blockages. Always dispose of wet wipes in a bin, not the toilet.

    Feminine Products

    Sanitary products swell in water and are a common cause of serious blockages, especially when no disposal bins are available. By offering hygiene waste bins, you can reduce the risk of these being flushed.

    Blocked Drains London – Frequently Asked Questions

    Can a pressurised water system really clear blocked drains in London?

    In short, yes, and it has proven to work countless times throughout our history of unblocking drains in London and Hertfordshire. Our water pipes are fitted with specially designed heads that are attached to flexible, specially developed hoses that help to maximise pressure, enabling us to deliver outstanding results every time.

    Our advanced system can generate up to 4000 pounds per square inch of water pressure, which is more than enough power to combat and remove even the most stubborn of blockages and can even cut through penetrated tree and plant roots.
    It’s worth noting that the vast majority of drainage systems, including pipes and fixtures of most industrial, commercial and domestic properties, are able to hold up and withstand these levels of pressure without sustaining damage.

    In the circumstance where a drain may be in bad condition and may not hold up to these levels of pressure, we are able to supply alternative methods to help you get your drain unblocked as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
