Fixture & branch drain clearing

Grease, wipes and foreign objects are common causes; the plumber checks whether the main drain is also involved.

What this covers

Clearing sinks, showers, baths, laundry and branch lines.

Do this first

• Keep clear of sewage and electrics near standing water.
• Avoid pouring more water into a blocked fitting.
• Note whether multiple fixtures are affected and photograph any overflow if safe.
