Outdoor drains

    Hi,

    My outside drains all work except two, they seem to be connected to the same main pipe. All other drains drain well, these two drain very slowly so in a large downpur they overflow very fast.

    I have cleaned they out , but cant get around teh U-bend which I guess where the issue must be.

    Anyone got any tips on hoe to unblock them, which tools are best, youtube clips ?

    Thanks,

    VL

    If you can go to the next AJ or Manhole and rod back to the Gulley using a worm. It should pull whatever is causing the blockage.

    I have a big drain up the side of the house that looks like it passes by that blocked drain,. But this is not blocked at all.

    Should I be able to push a rod all the way passed the blocked drain ?
