Blocked Drains Exeter
A blocked drain soon becomes more than an inconvenience. Dirty water can back up into sinks, baths and showers, or spill out of an outside gully. Trident Plumbers Exeter clears blocked drains for homes in Exeter and the surrounding towns.
We start by finding where the blockage is, inside the property or further along the run, then clear it with the right equipment for the pipe.
Once the water is flowing again, we run it through to check it clears properly.
Drain Unblocking Services
Our drain unblocking service covers kitchen sinks, bathroom basins, baths, showers and the outside drains connected to your home.
We aim to clear the blockage fully and leave the pipework running freely, with advice on how to keep it that way.
Kitchen Sink Blockages
Fat, grease and food waste build up inside kitchen waste pipes over time.
We clear the trap and pipework and flush the run so water drains away quickly again.
Bathroom and Shower Drains
Hair and soap are the usual causes of slow baths, basins and showers.
We remove the build-up from traps and waste pipes.
Then we check the flow so you can use the room normally again.
Outside Gullies and Drains
Leaves, silt and debris can block the gullies that carry water away from your home.
Trident Plumbers Exeter clears them and checks that water is running away to the main drain.
Slow-Draining Pipes
Water that drains slowly is often an early sign of a blockage forming.
Clearing it early can stop it turning into a full blockage or an overflow.
Gurgling and Bad Smells
Gurgling plugholes and drain smells can point to a partial blockage or a problem with a trap.
Trident Plumbers Exeter finds the cause and puts it right, so the smell does not keep coming back.

Find the Blockage
We start by working out where the blockage is.
Checking each sink, gully and access point helps us pinpoint the problem and choose the best way to clear it.
Clear It Properly
We clear the whole blockage, not just enough to get water moving.
That reduces the chance of it building up again in a few weeks.
Check the Flow
Before we finish, we run water through the system.
We make sure everything drains freely.
The area is left clean and tidy, and we will explain how to keep the drain clear.
