Blocked Drain Clearance in Hull
Aqua Venta clears blocked drains, wastes and gullies across Hull — from the terraces off Hessle Road and Beverley Road to the semis of Bransholme, Sutton and East Hull, plus the Avenues, Newland and the whole HU1–HU9 spread. We are a water-only firm, which for drain work means all the domestic waste-side jobs (sinks, basins, baths, toilets, showers, external gullies, waste pipes) and not shared-sewer or commercial CCTV drainage jobs beyond the property boundary.
Most Hull calls are typical household blockages: a kitchen sink slowly failing, a bath or shower waste that has finally packed up, a toilet that will not clear, or a downstairs gully overflowing after heavy rain. We come out by appointment, clear the blockage with the right tool for the job — plunger, hand auger, drain rods, or a small electric snake — and give you a plain-English note of what caused it so you can head it off next time.
We are not 24/7 — we book slots and confirm them by text. Same-day is often possible if you call in the morning.
Why this comes up in Hull
Hull's Victorian and Edwardian terraces off the Hessle Road, Beverley Road and Anlaby Road corridors were built with shared back-of-property drain runs. That means one blockage upstream affects several houses, and one household's habits (fat down the sink after tea, wet wipes flushed "because they say flushable") pushes trouble downstream. Chip fat is a huge factor here — it congeals in a cold pipe run over months and becomes a hard mat that catches everything else. Wet wipes are the other big one; even the ones labelled flushable do not break down like paper. On the newer estates the pipework is fine but the habits are the same. We clear the blockage and, more usefully, tell you what caused it and where it will happen again if nothing changes.
What booking looks like
Call 01482 680247 or use the contact form. Tell us where the blockage is (kitchen sink, WC, outside gully) and whether it is fully backed up or just slow. We book a slot, confirm by text, arrive in a signwritten van, quote before chargeable work, and take card or bank transfer on the day.
