How to Recognise a Blocked Sink or Gully
There are a few warning signs to keep an eye out for, including water draining more slowly than usual or gurgling noises from the plughole. Outside, if your gully is slow to clear after rain or has water pooling around the gully grid, this usually indicates a blockage is forming below. Another warning sign to look out for is a foul odour lingering around a sink or gully.
Some situations need immediate attention rather than taking a wait-and-see approach. If your sink stops draining completely and water is backing up, or an external gully is overflowing, this needs to be dealt with immediately to avoid water damage. Get in touch; our friendly team is available 24/7 year-round.

How do I unblock a kitchen sink?
The method used to clear a blockage depends on the blockage itself. Minor blockages can sometimes be cleared with hot water or a plunger, but if you are struggling with a persistently blocked sink drain, this often needs professional sink unlocking to fully clear the pipe and prevent the blockage from recurring.
How do I unblock a bathroom sink?
Bathroom sinks tend to be blocked with hair, soap scum and toothpaste residue that builds up inside the trap. If home remedies aren’t working, the Draincall team can carry out professional sink unblocking to clear the blockage right back to the main drain.
How do I know if I have a blocked gully?
Common signs of a blocked gully include water pooling around the gully grid or a bad smell outside your property. If you spot any of these, gully unblocking should be carried out quickly to prevent overflow or water damage.
What causes a blocked sink or gully?
Sink blockages tend to be caused by a build-up of fat, food debris, soap or hair, whilst gullies tend to block from leaves or general debris washing in over time. If this is left untreated, it can lead to slow drainage, unpleasant odours or overflow, so it is best to get a blocked sink, drain or gully looked at as soon as you notice the signs.
