A FLOODED DRAIN DAMAGES PROPERTY FAST — WE STOP THAT TODAY

Sewage backing up into a downstairs bathroom. Foul water rising in the kitchen sink. Manhole overflowing onto the patio. Drainage emergencies are messy, smelly, and expensive if you don’t catch them fast — and most of them get worse the longer they’re left. Carpets, plasterboard, kitchen units and flooring all start absorbing dirty water within minutes.

EcoGas’s emergency drainage service exists to stop the damage spreading. We arrive fast, clear the blockage first, then identify what caused it so it doesn’t come straight back. CCTV camera goes down the line as part of every call-out so you see exactly what was blocking it.

EMERGENCY DRAIN PROBLEMS WE FIX TODAY

Most cleared on the first visit with the right equipment

TOILET WON'T FLUSH

Water rising in the bowl, refusing to drain — usually a soil stack blockage. Cleared fast with rods or jetters.

MANHOLE OVERFLOWING

Foul water flooding into the garden from a manhole — sign the shared drain is blocked downstream.

SINK BACKING UP

Water rising in the kitchen or bathroom sink, sometimes with foul smell — internal pipework blocked.

WATER IN THE SHOWER TRAY

Shower water draining slowly or pooling — partial blockage in the waste pipe building up.

FOUL SMELL IN HOUSE

Drain smell coming from sinks, baths or toilets — usually a partial blockage trapping waste or a dried-out trap.

GROUND-FLOOR FLOODING

Foul water seeping up through floor drains or shower trays — serious sign of a major external blockage.

ECOGAS'S EMERGENCY DRAINAGE SERVICE

FIRST: CLEAR THE BLOCKAGE

Engineer arrives with full drainage kit — manual rods, plungers, high-pressure jetters, CCTV camera. Most blockages cleared in under an hour of arrival.

THEN: FIND THE CAUSE

Camera goes down the line after clearance to identify what caused the blockage and whether the pipework itself is damaged. Honest report of what we find.

WHAT PERTH SAYS AFTER AN EMERGENCY UNBLOCKING

Emily R. — Perth

Foul water backing up into the downstairs cloakroom on a Sunday evening. EcoGas was here in 75 minutes, cleared the soil stack blockage, ran a camera, found a wad of wet wipes was the cause. Honest, fast, fair price for out-of-hours.

Frederick C. — Perth

Manhole in the front garden suddenly overflowed in heavy rain. EcoGas jetted the shared drain, cleared a root mass 12m down, and arranged the follow-up repair with Scottish Water for the shared section. Handled the whole thing for us.

Geraldine A. — Perth

Kitchen sink completely blocked just before a family party. EcoGas arrived within an hour, cleared the blockage using jetting, ran a camera to confirm it was fully clear. Saved the day.

Henry W. — Perth

Slow drainage in the bath had become a complete blockage. EcoGas cleared the trap, ran a camera further down, found hair build-up was the recurring cause. Recommended a hair-catching strainer. Genuinely useful advice, not upselling.

WHY PERTH CHOOSES ECOGAS FOR EMERGENCY DRAINS

EMERGENCY DRAINAGE FAQS

WHAT SHOULD I DO RIGHT NOW IF MY DRAINS ARE OVERFLOWING?

Stop water going down the affected drains — turn off taps, stop using toilets, don’t run the washing machine or dishwasher. If foul water is on the floor, move valuables to dry areas. Don’t try to clear a heavy blockage with chemicals or DIY rods — you can push the blockage deeper and make it harder for us to clear. Call us and we’ll dispatch immediately.

CAN YOU CLEAR BLOCKAGES OUTSIDE WORKING HOURS?

Yes — we’re a true 24/7 emergency service. Same engineers, same equipment, same fixed pricing as during the day. Weekends, evenings, bank holidays — every drainage emergency gets the same response. No surcharges, no “premium hours” pricing.

WILL YOU NEED TO COME INSIDE THE HOUSE?

Sometimes. Most external blockages we can clear from outside via a manhole or external access point. For internal blockages (toilet, sink, shower) we’ll need internal access. We wear over-shoes, lay down floor protection, and clean any affected surfaces afterwards.

WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN RODDING AND JETTING?

Rodding uses manual flexible rods to push or break up a blockage — works well for light blockages within 10–15 metres. Jetting uses high-pressure water to blast through heavier blockages, root intrusion, hardened fat and longer distances — works on shared drains and main sewers. We use the right tool for the job, not whatever we own.

WILL YOU TELL ME WHAT CAUSED THE BLOCKAGE?

Yes — CCTV survey is included with every emergency call-out. We’ll show you on the screen exactly what was blocking the line and where. Most common causes in Perth: wet wipes (always called ‘flushable’ but really aren’t), kitchen fat build-up, hair, tree roots in older terracotta pipework, and dropped foreign objects.

CAN YOU HELP WITH AN INSURANCE CLAIM?

Yes — we provide a full written invoice with itemised costs, plus photographs from the CCTV survey showing the cause of the blockage and any associated damage. Most home insurance policies cover drainage emergencies including the cost of clearance and any water damage. Provide our paperwork direct to your insurer.
