Drain Unblocking Leeds, Bradford and Wakefield

24/7 Emergency Drain Unblocking | DrainsFirst

A blocked drain is more than just an inconvenience—it’s a health hazard and a potential threat to your property. Whether it’s a stubborn kitchen sink, an overflowing external gully, or a backed-up main sewer line, DrainsFirst provides rapid-response drain unblocking for both domestic and commercial clients.

Our Drainage Clearance Solutions:

High-Pressure Water Jetting (HPWJ): Our primary tool for stubborn blockages. We use specialized jetting units to blast through fat, oil, grease (FOG), and silt, stripping the pipe walls clean and restoring full flow.
Electro-Mechanical Cleaning: Perfect for internal pipework and smaller bore drains. This method uses flexible steel cables to navigate bends and break up hard scale or foreign objects.
Root Cutting & Removal: If a blockage is caused by invasive tree roots, our high-torque mechanical cutters can clear the obstruction quickly without the need for excavation.
Emergency Toilets & Sink Unblocking: We handle the "messy" jobs with professional equipment that clears blockages instantly while protecting your sanitaryware.

Common Signs You Have a Blockage:

Gurgling Sounds: Trapped air in the system often indicates a partial clog.
Slow Drainage: Water taking longer than usual to disappear from sinks or baths.
Foul Odours: Persistent smells coming from drains or plug holes.
Rising Water Levels: Toilets filling near the brim after flushing.

Domestic drain unblocking

Struggling with a blocked drain, sink or toilet? Blockages are a common issue in domestic drainage systems and are often caused by everyday build-up within your pipework. In many cases, the problem can be quickly resolved using high-pressure water jetting, restoring normal flow with minimal disruption.

If a blockage persists, it may indicate an underlying issue such as damaged or collapsed pipework. Our experienced drainage specialists are fully equipped to identify the cause of the problem and carry out the most effective repair. Contact our domestic drainage team today to arrange a visit at a time that suits you, and get your drainage system flowing properly again.

Commercial drain unblocking

Commercial properties and busy kitchens are particularly vulnerable to blocked drains, damaged pipework and sewer issues. High volumes of wastewater, combined with fats, oils and grease (FOG) build-up, can quickly lead to serious blockages and costly disruption if not addressed promptly.
