We clear blocked drains in Boston and the surrounding villages. Most blockages can be cleared with drain rods or high pressure jetting, and where a drain keeps blocking we use a camera to find the cause.
Overflowing drain? We take emergency drain call-outs 24/7. Call 01775 720015 in office hours or 07883 855495 out of hours.
Why drains block in Boston
Boston is low-lying and flat, close to the tidal River Witham and The Wash, so drains have little fall and silt settles in them easily. The older streets around the town centre have old clay drains, often shared between neighbouring buildings, where cracked joints and roots are common. Boston also has a lot of takeaways, restaurants and food businesses, and fat and grease from kitchens sets hard in the pipes unless it is trapped and the drains are cleaned regularly.
What we do
- Blocked outside drains, gullies and manholes
- Blocked toilets, baths and showers
- Kitchen and grease blockages, in homes and commercial kitchens
- High pressure water jetting
- CCTV drain surveys
- No-dig drain repairs and relining
Food businesses, packing sites and farms
For kitchens, packing houses and farm buildings around Boston, a blocked drain stops work. We can jet and clean drains on a schedule that suits the site, so problems are dealt with before they cause a stoppage. See planned drain maintenance.
Rats and drains in Boston
With the river and the drains running into it, rats are a regular problem in Boston, and a broken drain is one of the main ways they get into buildings. As pest controllers and drainage contractors, we can survey the drain, repair the defect and deal with the rats. See rats in drains.
Who is responsible?
You are generally responsible for drains that serve only your property and sit within its boundary. Shared drains and public sewers in Boston are the responsibility of Anglian Water. If the blockage is in a public sewer, we will tell you so you can report it to them.
