How To Unblock A Drain Outside (5 DIY Tips)

27 April 2022

 

No matter how many years you’ve lived, if you’re reading this we already know that you’re quite familiar with the signs of a blocked drain. If it’s not completely obvious – like if the sink or toilet water is either stationary or at your feet – then you know that a blocked drain smells bad, clears waste a lot more slowly than usual, and makes weird gurgling sounds. Much less well known is what to look out for if your place has an outside drain blocked.

While it’s usually soap, hair, food scraps and clumps of toilet paper that back up those inside drains, your outside drains are an entirely different kettle of fish. They’re designed to grapple with more serious debris, like branches, leaves, mud, litter and other outdoor debris – but they can only take so much. Often, all it takes is a serious storm and you’ll soon be looking up how to unblock a drain outside or reaching for that plumber’s number.
