Blocked drains can get worse quickly
Slow-draining water, bad smells, overflowing outside drains, blocked toilets and sinks, and standing water can all be signs of a blockage or damaged pipework. If you are dealing with a blocked drain in Chester, request help before the problem becomes more serious.
Build‑up of fats, oils and grease can congeal in pipes, flushing wet wipes or sanitary products creates stubborn blockages, hair and soap scum accumulate, and food waste like rice, pasta, coffee grounds and cooling fat can solidify. Tree roots or collapsed pipework can also obstruct flow.
Cheshire West and Chester Council maintains over 86,650 roadside drains and advises residents to clear leaves that block gullies because flood‑risk properties may still be vulnerable. If an outside drain keeps backing up after rainfall, act early.

Frequently asked questions
When should I request help for drain unblocking?
If water is backing up, the WC will not clear, drains are very slow, there is standing water outside, or there are persistent bad smells, it is best to request help promptly. Early drain unblocking can reduce the risk of property damage, wastewater exposure and a more serious blockage.
Who is responsible for a blocked drain?
In most cases, the homeowner or landlord is responsible for drains and private sewers up to the point where they connect with the public sewer. Ofwat explains that this connection point is usually at the boundary of the property. If the blockage is in pipework owned by the sewerage company, United Utilities says it will usually clear it for free.
What causes most blocked drains?
Common causes include wet wipes, fat, oil, grease, food waste, silt, leaves, scale build-up, root ingress and damaged pipework. GOV.UK states that wet wipes contribute to 94% of sewer blockages, which is why wipes should be put in the bin rather than flushed.
Can I request help for a blocked toilet?
Yes. You can submit an enquiry for a blocked toilet, slow flushing toilet, overflowing toilet, or related drainage issue.
Is it safe to open a drain or manhole myself?
You can usually check for obvious surface debris around a visible outside drain, but deeper chambers and confined spaces should be treated carefully. The Health and Safety Executive warns that confined spaces can involve risks such as noxious fumes, reduced oxygen, flooding, drowning and asphyxiation.
