Below, the team at our sewage removal company have put together some essential advice on what you can do before we arrive to help solve your sewage and drainage system problems.
The first step is to locate where the blockage is occurring. If you’re dealing with emergency blocked drains, try to identify which drains or pipes are affected. Check sinks, toilets, and outdoor drainage points for signs of overflow or pooling water. Identifying the problem area will allow our team to quickly assess the situation when we arrive.
If you suspect that you have a grease trap blockage or an overflow issue, it’s important to stop using water in your home as soon as possible. Avoid running water in sinks, showers, or toilets, as this can worsen the blockage and lead to further flooding or waste backups. If the problem is in a toilet, try to limit its use until a professional arrives to perform sewer line cleaning.
In some cases, grease trap emptying may be the solution to your problem, especially if you’re noticing slow drainage in the kitchen. Grease buildup can cause significant blockages in your pipes. While it’s best to have professionals handle grease trap cleaning, knowing if your grease trap is full or needs maintenance can help our team provide a faster solution.
If water is already overflowing or flooding your Aldershot home, use towels, buckets, or plastic sheeting to protect furniture and belongings. For cesspit cleaning or when dealing with an overflowing cesspit, try to contain the spread of waste by blocking off the affected area. This can prevent contamination and allow the professionals to get to work quickly when they arrive.
If you live in an area with a cesspit or septic tank, it’s helpful to know the location of your cesspit. We offer professional cesspit emptying and gully emptying services, which are critical in preventing sewage backup. Knowing where your system is located allows our team to address the issue more efficiently.
For minor blockages, you might consider using a drain cleaner to temporarily alleviate the issue - but be cautious. Harsh chemicals can sometimes make the situation worse, especially if the problem is due to a grease trap blockage or if high pressure jetting is required. Always consult with us before using any chemical cleaners.
