Drain Unblocking in Wednesfield
Drain unblocking in Wednesfield covers homes and businesses from March End to Wood End. The engineer checks which fittings are slow and lifts the covers to find the blockage. They clear it with rods, a drain snake or a jetter. Then they test every fitting to check the water flows.
In Wednesfield, drain unblocking jobs range from a single slow basin to a shared run serving several homes. That is why the engineer checks every fitting before starting. They also lift the outside covers, since a full chamber shows how far the blockage reaches. Homes around New Invention and March End get the same careful check.

Homes and drains in Wednesfield
Wednesfield started as a village and grew into a busy suburb of Wolverhampton. The old village core has Victorian homes with clay drains. Ashmore Park, New Invention and Wood End, however, are mostly post-war estates. Many of those homes still have their original drains, which are now well over 50 years old.
Local tip
Many post-war homes in Wednesfield share a drain with the houses around them. If your neighbours also have slow drains, the blockage is probably in the shared part. Severn Trent looks after shared lateral drains, so tell them too.

Should I try to unblock the drain myself first?
A plunger can clear a simple blockage near the plughole. However, stop if water backs up from an outside drain or several fittings at once. Forcing a shared drain can push the blockage further along.
