What to do if the sewer is blocked

If the blocked pipe is a public sewer, your water company will clear it free of charge.

If the blocked pipe is a private sewer you can clear it yourself using drain rods or by contracting a plumber or specialist firm. The cost of the work should be shared between all the households using the sewer. We recommend that you get everyone’s agreement on cost before having any work done.
