Blocked Drains, Toilets & Sinks in Croydon & the CR Postcodes
Internal blockages are usually within a metre or two of the fitting — a trap, a bend, or a bellied waste pipe. If several fittings back up at once, the blockage is further down the soil stack or in the drain run outside, which needs rodding or jetting rather than a plunger.
