Flooding • Sewage Backup • Collapsed Drains — 60-Min Response
When a drain fails completely — flooding, sewage backup, or total collapse — you need someone there fast. Our emergency drain repair team is available 24/7 with CCTV survey, high-pressure jetting, and pipe repair all on one van.
Sewage backing up through a toilet, shower or floor drain, water pooling around an outside gully that won't recede, gurgling from several fixtures at once, or a sudden bad smell indoors are the clearest signs a drain has failed rather than simply blocked. These are exactly the plumbing emergencies that justify calling a 24hr emergency plumber straight away rather than waiting for a routine appointment slot.
Once you call, we triage the problem over the phone and dispatch an engineer with CCTV, high-pressure jetting and repair equipment already on the van, so many faults are diagnosed and fixed in a single visit. As part of our 24 hour emergency plumbing service across Edinburgh and the Lothians, our average arrival time is within the hour, day or night.
While you're waiting, stop using water anywhere in the property — no flushing, showering or running the washing machine — as this only adds to a backup that's already struggling to clear. Avoid wading through any standing water that may be contaminated with sewage, ventilate the area if it's safe to do so, and keep children and pets well away until we've had a chance to assess it.
