Blocked Drain Clearing
Quote requiredProvider price, scope and timing are confirmed in an estimate
- 60–120 minutestypical recorded duration
- PGDBregister checked for regulated work
Eligibility and coverage are checked again before a provider can submit an estimate
Suitable for attempting to clear one accessible household waste or sewer drain with a localised soft blockage that can be reached through an existing access point using a mechanical cable machine.
The provider confirms the affected fixtures and access point, attempts a mechanical clear within the booked scope, checks drainage flow after the attempt, and records whether the line appears open or needs CCTV, water jetting, excavation, repair, or another separately scoped response.
Scope boundaries: The fixed price covers one mechanical clearing attempt on one accessible private household drain under ordinary site conditions. It does not guarantee success where the cause is structural damage, roots, hard deposits, a full septic system, or inaccessible or shared infrastructure.
No fixed provider price or appointment is published here. Eligible providers define the work, milestones, price and timing in an estimate; Serproz adds no customer platform fee, and the customer chooses whether to accept it.
Only a claimed provider who passes the applicable verification and exact-job capability checks can submit an estimate. Nothing is charged when you post; after acceptance, review the provider's recorded job price before funding the agreed milestones.

Before you request
What to confirm before you request
- Which fixtures are affected, and is the problem slow drainage, complete blockage, gurgling, or wastewater overflow?
- Is there an existing accessible inspection point, gully, cleanout, or other safe entry to the affected private drain?
- Is the line household waste, sewer, stormwater, shared, commercial, pumped, or connected to a septic system?
- Has this blockage happened before, or are roots, damage, wipes, grease, or a foreign object suspected?
- Is wastewater currently overflowing inside or outside the property?
Fit and alternatives
Common problems and related work
Problems this work may address
