If a drain is blocked at your property you may want to attempt to clear the blocked drain using drain rods. By drain rodding from a manhole you may be able to clear the drain pipes – just be careful not to turn the drain rods in the wrong direction or you may find the rods come part inside your drains! If that does happen, then call a professional contractor such as Drainage Consultants Limited, who can attempt to retrieve your drain rods from your drainage system.
