Think you have a blocked drain? Call the Indi Line Group today - 01604 210556
Blocked drains can cause major headaches for homeowners and businesses alike. If left untreated, they can lead to unpleasant odours, flooding, and costly damage. At Indi Line Group, serving Northampton and surrounding areas, we’re experts in identifying and fixing drainage problems quickly and efficiently. To help you catch issues early, here are the top 5 signs you might have a blocked drain — and what you should do next.
If you notice that sinks, showers, or baths are draining slower than usual, it’s a strong indicator of a blockage. Hair, grease, soap scum, and debris build up inside pipes over time, restricting water flow. The sooner you address slow drainage, the easier it is to prevent a complete blockage and avoid water backup.
Foul smells coming from your drains or toilets usually mean trapped waste and stagnant water. These odours can quickly spread, making your home or workplace uncomfortable and unhygienic. Blocked drains need professional clearing to eliminate the cause and restore proper flow.
If you hear unusual gurgling or bubbling noises when using your drains, it often indicates air trapped due to blockage. These sounds suggest that water isn’t flowing smoothly and there may be a partial obstruction somewhere in your drainage system.
Water pooling around drains, toilets, or outside areas after heavy rain is a clear sign of a blockage. This can cause property flooding and damage foundations if left untreated. Immediate professional attention is crucial to prevent escalating problems.
Experiencing blockages in multiple drains at once suggests a more serious problem in the main sewer line or shared pipework. This situation requires a thorough investigation with CCTV drain surveys to identify the root cause.
