What to Do in a Drain Emergency | Complete Drain Services Burnley


A drain emergency in Burnley can happen without warning. Whether your sink is overflowing or water is backing up outside, fast action is important. Complete Drain Services Burnley is here to help you stay calm and get things sorted—day or night.

Spotting a Drain Emergency


Most importantly, know the warning signs:
  1. Water backing up in sinks, toilets, or showers
  2. Flooding around outdoor drains
  3. Unpleasant smells coming from pipes
  4. Gurgling noises when water drains

If you notice any of these, you may have a drain emergency.

Immediate Steps to Take


Because quick action can prevent damage, follow these steps:
  1. Stop using water in the affected area.
  2. Turn off electrical appliances near the flood.
  3. Try to identify the source of the blockage.
  4. Move valuables away from the water.

What Not to Do


Do not use harsh chemicals or poke at the blockage with random objects. This can make things worse or cause injury.
