Blocked Drains FAQ

How quickly can a drain unblocker near me respond to an emergency?

We understand how frustrating a blocked drain can be, which is why we offer 24/7 emergency callouts. In most cases, we can arrive the same day to assess and resolve the issue quickly, ensuring minimal disruption to your home or business.

What are the signs of a blockage?

Common signs of a blocked drain include slow-draining water, unpleasant odors, gurgling sounds, or water backing up into sinks, toilets, or showers. If you notice any of these issues, it’s a good idea to get your drains checked before the problem gets worse.

What causes blocked drains?

Blocked drains can be caused by a variety of things, such as grease and fat buildup, hair, wet wipes, food debris, and even tree roots infiltrating your pipes. Over time, these materials collect and cause blockages that can lead to water backing up and unpleasant smells.

Do you unblock outdoor drains?

Yes! We specialize in unblocking all types of drains, both indoor and outdoor. Whether it’s a garden drain, gutter, or a larger drain outside your home or business, we have the expertise and equipment to tackle the job efficiently.

Do you use jetting equipment?

Yes, we use high-pressure water jetting equipment to clear blockages quickly and effectively. This technique is one of the safest and most efficient ways to clear pipes, as it removes debris and buildup without causing damage to your drainage system.

How much does it cost?

The cost of unblocking a drain can vary depending on the severity of the blockage and the location. However, we offer competitive, transparent pricing and will always provide a clear, no-obligation quote before any work begins—so there are no surprises.

Will you need to dig?

In most cases, we won’t need to dig up your property. We use advanced tools like CCTV drain surveys to accurately locate the blockage, and our high-pressure jetting equipment often clears the problem without invasive digging. We only dig if absolutely necessary.

Do you work with businesses too?

Yes, we provide drain unblocking services for both residential and commercial properties. Whether you’re a homeowner, landlord, or business owner in need of fast and reliable drain clearing, we’re here to help across Sussex and Hampshire.

Great Service

My job was posted at 2.30pm and this Company contacted me, within minutes. The plumber arrived on time, was cheerful and courteous. I was pleased, relieved and most of all astonished at how little it cost. I will definitely use this company again.

Repair to leaking toilet cistern

RAW was the first company to contact me for this job. Communication was very straightforward and clear. Mark carried out a thorough assessment of the problem, was able to source the parts needed to fix it at short notice, and had the whole thing re-sealed with a fresh donut installed within an hour.

Superfast call-out on a Saturday

Had a non-flushing downstairs toilet. Sent a message through Checkatrade and got a call back within about 10 mins. Had their engineer, Richie, looking at it within about 90 mins! Richie was really kind, helpful and thorough. Very polite and knowledgeable too. I would absolutely recommend RAW and look forward to using them again. Thanks, lads!

New drain and drain repair

Had issues plumbing in a new washing machine because the water overflowed into the cupboard when we tried it. Believed it to be blocked. Now been informed by RAW that it's a descaling issue which is the next stage of work to be done.
