24/7 Emergency Drain Unblocking Truro & Cornwall

Sudden drain failures — such as collapsed pipes, joint displacements or recurring leaks — can damage floors, walls or external areas. Our engineers are ready to assess the situation, making temporary or permanent repairs as needed. We handle both domestic and commercial emergencies. Work is fully insured and every repair comes with a written guarantee for your peace of mind.

Older properties or converted buildings often have complicated drainage layouts. Our drain tracing service quickly maps underground pipes and manholes without unnecessary digging. Using electronic locators, we identify the course and depth of drains, ideal when planning repairs or resolving emergency issues that are hard to locate.

Damaged or sunken manhole covers can be a hazard for pedestrians and vehicles. Our emergency service includes replacement or repair of manhole covers and frames on both private and shared drains. Work is completed safely and promptly, reducing risk and ensuring full accessibility for future maintenance.

A burst or leaking water main can cause loss of supply or property damage. Our team locates leaks, isolates affected sections and makes urgent repairs to restore water safely. We handle emergencies in residential areas, holiday parks and commercial buildings. All work is carried out by certified engineers, with minimal disruption to your home or business.

Stubborn blockages in main drains often need more than rods or plungers. We use high pressure water jetting to break up silt, fat, and debris quickly and safely. Jetting is suitable for both domestic and commercial pipework, reducing the risk of future blockages. This method is ideal for heavily used systems such as those in holiday lets and small businesses around Cornwall.

Blocked drains can cause significant inconvenience whether you're in Falmouth, Newquay or smaller towns like Probus. Water backing up in bathrooms or outside channels needs urgent attention, especially in older Cornish buildings with narrow pipework. We respond to emergency calls 24/7 and use high-pressure jetters, rods, and specialist cameras to locate and clear obstructions. Expect a safe, tidy service and no call-out charge, whatever the time or drainage problem.

When a blockage or recurring issue needs further investigation, we use CCTV equipment to inspect your drainage system without excavation. This is especially useful for older Cornish homes or commercial premises with hidden pipework. Detailed video reports help pinpoint cracked pipes, root ingress or other problems, enabling targeted repairs and preventing future emergencies.

Toilets that won’t flush, slow-draining baths or overflowing sinks are urgent problems we deal with 24/7. The build-up of paper, wipes or scale is common in both domestic and holiday rental properties. We carefully clear waste pipes, traps, and overflow gulleys, restoring normal use and preventing escalation into more severe drainage problems.

Whether it's a new washing machine or dishwasher causing a leak, we offer emergency installation and plumbing checks. Proper connection to drainage is vital in Cornwall’s older cottages and modern flats alike. We install appliances quickly, test for leaks, blockages or backflow, and make sure all waste water is directed safely away from your property.

Saniflo macerators are common in properties with limited drainage options, especially basements or extensions in Cornwall. If your unit blocks or fails, our engineers provide emergency unblocking and repairs. We check for jammed blades, electrical faults or blocked waste pipes, restoring function and advising on maintenance to prevent repeat problems.
