Blocked Drains Lincoln

Living in Lincolnshire, it's not uncommon to experience issues with stormwater drains, especially during heavy rainfall. Blocked stormwater drains can cause flooding, damage to properties, and pose health risks. At Blocked Drains Lincoln, we understand the importance of maintaining a clear and functioning drainage system. In this article, we'll provide you with a step-by-step guide on how to unblock stormwater drains in Lincolnshire.

Before we dive into the unblocking process, it's essential to understand how stormwater drainage systems work. Stormwater drains are designed to collect and redirect rainwater away from buildings and streets. They're typically connected to a network of pipes that lead to a nearby watercourse or sewer system.

At Blocked Drains Lincoln, our experienced team has been providing drainage services to Lincolnshire residents for years. We've seen firsthand the damage that blocked stormwater drains can cause. That's why we're committed to helping you resolve the issue quickly and efficiently.

To unblock a stormwater drain, you need to identify the source of the blockage. Common causes of blockages include:

• Debris such as leaves, twigs, and branches
• Sediment and silt buildup
• Cracked or damaged pipes
• Incorrect installations or repairs

To unblock a stormwater drain, follow these steps:

1. Clear the drain entrance: Remove any debris or obstructions from the drain entrance.
2. Use a drain snake: Feed a drain snake (also known as an auger) into the drain to break up any blockages.
3. Apply high-pressure water jetting: Use a high-pressure water jet to clear the blockage and flush out the drain.
4. Inspect the drain: Use a CCTV camera to inspect the drain and identify any underlying issues.

If you notice any of the following signs, it may indicate a blocked stormwater drain:

• Water pooling around the drain entrance
• Slow draining or overflowing
• Unpleasant odors or sounds

If you have a septic system, it's essential to note that stormwater drains should not be connected to the septic system. This can cause contamination and damage to the septic system.
