Emergency Drainage in Shropshire
Rapid response for sewage backups, overflowing tanks and flooded drains across Shropshire, 24 hours a day.
Some drainage problems can wait for a convenient appointment. Sewage backing up into a bathroom cannot. Neither can an overflowing septic tank or cesspit, a collapsed drain flooding a yard, or a treatment plant in alarm with visitors arriving at a holiday let.
We run a genuine emergency response across Shropshire, 24 hours a day. The immediate job is always the same: stop the damage, clear or contain the problem, and make the system safe. The follow-up, whether that is a repair, a survey or just a scheduled empty, can then happen calmly in daylight rather than by torchlight at a premium.
Rural emergencies bring their own complications, from tanker access down single-track lanes to systems no one has looked at in years. Local knowledge genuinely shortens these jobs, because knowing the lanes, the ground and the common local system types means arriving with the right kit the first time.
What the service includes
- Sewage backups and internal flooding
- Overflowing or near-overflowing septic tanks and cesspits, with emergency tankering
- Treatment plant failures and alarms
- Collapsed and blocked drains causing flooding
- Pollution containment and clean-up guidance while the source is fixed
- Honest triage: if it can safely wait until morning and save you money, we will say so
What to do while you wait
Stop using water in the property, especially toilets, dishwashers and washing machines, and keep people and pets away from any surfaced sewage. If effluent is reaching a stream or ditch, tell us when you call, because pollution changes the priority and the approach.
Emergencies are usually the end of a long story
Most overflows and backups follow months of warning signs: slow drains, odours, a tank overdue for emptying. The cheapest emergency is the one that becomes a routine appointment a month earlier, which is why we are straight with every customer about what their system will need next.

Frequently asked questions
How fast can you get here?
We prioritise genuine emergencies and cover the whole county. Response time depends on where you are in Shropshire and current demand, and we will give you an honest arrival window when you call rather than an optimistic one.
Is an emergency call-out more expensive?
Out-of-hours work costs more than a scheduled visit, and we tell you the rates before anyone is dispatched. If the problem can safely wait for a normal appointment, we will tell you that too.
Sewage has escaped near a stream. Who do I need to tell?
Call us first so containment can start, and report significant pollution to the Environment Agency incident line. Acting quickly and being able to show you did matters if the Agency follows up.
