Expert Drain Unblocking Worcester – Fast & Reliable Plumbing Services
Drain unblocking Worcester means freeing it from any obstructions that hinder its proper functioning, and therefore the flow of liquid. Unblocking is often an emergency plumbing job, which is why we’d like to share one of the typical services we’ve performed in the province of Worcester below.

Types of Natural Drainage Problems
A blockage or obstruction occurs when the flow of water is no longer possible. The term “blocking” requires clarification regarding water flow and proper operation. The third type of drain problem is structural and due to the system being too long or sloped. In any case of clogging, it is ESSENTIAL to know the “history” of what happened, or at least how long the problem began.
What happens and what to do
Is the basin full but the water still flowing? You can still fix it by trying to clean as many loose and removable parts as possible, then flushing in plenty of cold water. Use a plunger to plug any air leaks (such as the overflow), push down, and then try a drain cleaner and then plenty of cold water.
Unblocking the sink
Sink basin full of water, but the water still doesn’t drain?
The blockage is quite serious, and the pipe in the wall is likely completely unblocked. A truly urgent intervention will be necessary; we’re dealing with a blockage.
So the first thing to do is definitely dismantle the kitchen trap, where water from the sink and dishwasher tanks flows together, to check if there’s anything obstructing the proper flow of water.
How do you intervene? With what?
Taking as an example one of the successful interventions in Worcester, where not even a trickle of water flowed, and therefore the problem was a blockage due to blocking, without using any drain cleaner, we would have been able to avoid the risk that the decomposition of organic matter at the point of blockage could form a new “plug” that was even more homogeneous and, in the long run, even more resistant. For this reason, we used an axial iron spring that rotated to create a gap. We then used a pump to increase the gap, and then used suitable solvents.
How NOT to intervene? What NOT to do
In cases of calcification of the blockage, which occurs when this liquid compound combines with the blockage and dries without disappearing, a new substance with characteristics similar to cement is created! The very popular “Plumber Gel” could seriously worsen the situation. Believe anyone who has seen kilograms of this calcified substance extracted from compromised pipes, despite the firm belief of many who still believe in this gel, which, if it doesn’t work, ends up creating much more serious blockages.
Overflow
The “overflow” is the hole generally located on the upper edge of the sink (or basin or washbasin), which serves to return water into the same drain if the tank is overfilled and also serves as ventilation for the complete flow of the drained water. When using a plunger, THE OVERFLOW MUST BE COVERED!!! Use a wet cloth to cover it and allow as little air as possible to pass through while applying the plunger.
How do you use it? Pushing direction of the plunger
At this point, the key is to push vigorously, but above all quickly, downwards, trying to push the blockage towards the main extremities (drain pipes or larger drains). Only with these two precautions can we maximize the performance of our good old plunger.
Heavy Blockages and Professional Plumbing
To prevent further blockages and to thoroughly clean the drainage system, we used a caustic-based acidic drain cleaner (with caustic soda for organic and therefore biodegradable materials).
How to Unblock a Drain
Among the various systems for drain unblocking Worcester, beyond the “do-it-yourself” solutions found in any general guide, we also offer professional methods for unblocking drain pipes.
Toilet Drain
One of the most common cases of a blocked toilet is when the bowl fills up and the water won’t flush. The first thing to do is think about what might have fallen into the toilet. Next, we can try applying some pressure with a large suction cup or, alternatively, moving it up and down with a mop. Sometimes it works; in an emergency, it can be helpful to know. Clearly, these are “do-it-yourself” solutions. Contacting a professional takes the situation to a whole new level, which absolutely must be resolved.
