How to Unblock a Drain Outside

Outside blocked drains can be detrimental to several properties and the environment. After all, a blocked drain can lead to a number of more serious problems such as damage to the drainage system and drain leaks. So, it’s important to unblock it quickly.

However, knowing how to unblock a drain outside isn’t something that everyone is familiar with. It can also be a difficult task to diagnose the issue within the drainage network, which means it is advisable to seek assistance from a drain expert.

Steps to Take When Unblocking a Drain Outside

Whether it’s an industrial drain or one outside of a residential property, not everyone knows how to unblock a drain. This isn’t surprising, as very few people will have to deal with a blocked drain in their lifetime. However, if you do, here are some of the key steps to take:

• Attempt to Diagnose the Problem – The first step towards successfully unblocking a drain outside is to try and diagnose the problem. There are a number of things that can cause a drain to become blocked and knowing what’s causing it will help. You may be able to see the blockage by simply looking inside the drain, and this can help you to unblock it.
• Ensure You Have the Correct Tools – Having the correct tools goes a long way towards successfully unblocking a drain outside and you shouldn’t attempt any work until you know you have exactly what you need. Some tools are easy to buy, whereas others are more specialised. However, getting hold of drain rods is always a good place to start.
• Contact Drain Unblocking Experts – Of course, if you are unable to unblock the drain yourself you should contact a team of drain unblocking experts. It isn’t always possible to unblock a drain without specialist equipment and draining, which is exactly what the professionals have.
