You've probably done work and allowed moss and crap to fall into an already blocked drain,or you are responsible!!!!!

Get hold of some domestic rods and try and clear it manually before you force anymore crap down there.

If you can't get hold of rods you better get to a hire depot and rod the hell out of it.

You are going to be blamed - irrespective.

Our machine does drains as well and I carry different drain nozzles so this will never be a problem.

When you have been paid get a cheap nozzle for the future.

Good luck

I always have my drain hose and nozzle on the van you never know when you may need it, saying that i always wash away from drains whenever possible and sand washed out gets bagged and taken away

Did you not scoop it out?

[Roger Oakley]

Is it a drain or a soak-away? if it is a soak-away it might well go down over-night, but you you will still have to clean up any sludge left behind and the same thing will happen once water starts to go down it.
You won't be able to "Rod" a soak-away, if it is a soak-away I would try to get as much s**t out of it before you start tomorrow.

Soak aways are my worst enemy

im just gettin ready to go now ,im hoping the water has gone now so as i can scoop as much out as poss ,just hope i get away with it ,this will make or break my weekend ...watch this space

[paul marshall]

well im still here alive an well  HOWEVER ,got there and the woman had scooped a big bucket of sand and mud out of grid , i felt like a right cowboy ,anyway the grids had both gone down so i done last bit pf washing and one grid was fine the other is still playing up , so i put my cowboy hat back on and chased water to the good grid , i then knocked 15 quid of job and done all her windows and fascia [ which she had asked me for a price for ] ,then i packed my stuff up .jumped on my horse and rode out of town as quick as  its not ideal but if or WHEN  she rings back i will get a pro in to sort it out at my expense of course , does this still make me a cowboy ,on second thoughts dont answer that

I put a broom head in aco's which allows water through but catches the gloop. I also do drains so its no grief to unblock the odd drain
