When to Call DrainHart as an Emergency
- Sewage backing up into a toilet, bath or floor drain
- An external gully or drain flooding towards the building
- Complete loss of drainage affecting the whole property
- A burst or collapsed drain causing visible flooding or subsidence
- Strong sewage smells suggesting a blockage or break nearby
What Happens When You Call
We ask a few quick questions to understand the severity and prioritise genuine emergencies accordingly. You'll get a fixed price before the engineer is dispatched, even for out-of-hours call-outs — there's no inflated "emergency rate" sprung on you after the fact. The engineer arrives equipped to diagnose and, in most cases, resolve the issue on the same visit.
Genuine 24/7 Cover Across Greater Manchester
Because our engineers are based across the region rather than dispatched from one central depot, we can maintain a realistic 60-minute response even late at night or during a weekend, when drainage emergencies often happen and other companies struggle to respond quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as a drainage emergency?
Sewage backing up inside a property, flooding from an external drain that's affecting the building, and a complete loss of drainage to a property are all treated as emergencies and prioritised accordingly.
Are you available at night and on weekends?
Yes, we operate 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays, with the same fixed-price approach for out-of-hours call-outs as during the day.
How fast can an engineer reach me in an emergency?
We aim to have an engineer on-site within 60 minutes across Greater Manchester for emergency call-outs, prioritising jobs involving sewage back-up or active flooding.
What should I do while waiting for the engineer?
If safe to do so, avoid using water in the property (toilets, sinks, washing machines) to prevent making the back-up worse, and move any valuables or furniture away from the affected area.
