Signs you need flooding emergency help

These are common signs that you need flooding emergency. If you spot one, act early, because small faults often grow.

• ✓ Water is flooding into your property from overwhelmed or blocked drains
• ✓ Manholes or inspection chambers are overflowing and water is spreading across your garden or drive
• ✓ Sewage or foul water is backing up through toilets, sinks, or floor drains
• ✓ Rainwater is not draining from around the property and water levels are rising
• ✓ You can see or smell sewage outside your property near drain covers

Our process

These steps show a typical visit. However, the exact method depends on what the engineer finds on site.

1. 1.
   Emergency Dispatch

   Send an urgent request through our online form. We pass it to a local engineer as quickly as we can, and flooding is treated as urgent.
2. 2.
   Containment

   On arrival, we deploy pumps to remove standing water, set up barriers to prevent further ingress, and isolate the drainage failure if possible to stop additional water entering the property.
3. 3.
   Clear the Cause

   Using jetting equipment, drain rods, or emergency repair methods, we address the underlying drainage failure — clearing blockages, removing debris, or making temporary repairs to collapsed sections.
4. 4.
   Assessment and Next Steps

   We assess the extent of the drainage issue, advise on any follow-up repairs needed, and recommend preventative measures such as non-return valves or improved surface water drainage.
