Emergency Drain Unblocking
Got blocked drains?
Our 24/7 emergency drain unblocking and drainage service is the quickest way to solve drainage and leaking drainage problems. MZR blocked drains are local to Birmingham and can get to you within the hour if you have an urgent drain blockage or emergency drainage need near Birmingham, and most addresses within the West Midlands.
As one of the country’s leading drain unblockers, we understand that some problems can occur at the worst of times – and not necessarily within standard working hours.
Alongside this, we also know that not addressing emergency drainage issues as soon as possible can make the problem worse – and often more costly to repair. With this in mind, we are proud to offer 24-hour drain unblocking for when tomorrow is just too late.
Emergency Drains
If you have blocked drains in Birmingham, you can rely on our staff to diagnose the nature of the fault, and make sure the emergency drain response team arrives fully equipped with everything we need for the task at hand. Blocked drains can cause a great deal of disruption and inconvenience, and if left, can pose health hazards, and create wider issues for both residential and business premises.
Our drain unblocking services here at MZR can address and resolve the most problematic of drain issues, and we will always do so in a seamless, and professional manner. No matter what the problem is, with our 24/7 drains service, we can support you with a fast, and easy solution. As a result, ensuring minimal disruption and downtime for you, and putting your mind at ease.
Rely on us to provide the best possible results!
If your drains are cracked or deteriorating, it is only a matter of time before you will be facing serious drainage problems. Damaged pipes put your property at risk of sewer flooding, leaking, blockages, foul odours and water egress that can contribute to subsidence — all issues that get worse with cumulative wear and tear.
It is essential to get damaged drains and sewers repaired without delay. But digging up and replacing large sections of pipe can be inconvenient, not to mention costly. Fortunately, there is another way, and our default position, in most cases, is to install a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) repair or liner, which is cost-effective and minimises disruption.
With CIPP relining, we make long-lasting fixes and improvements to pipe interiors without the need to dig. (No surprise that this is also known as ‘no-dig technology’).
Whilst resolving the immediate problem, CIPP also heads off the chance of further issues in the repaired pipe for years to come.
MZR Drainage has many years of experience in delivering this technology, so you can always rely on us to provide the best possible results with the least possible fuss – we are also on call 24/7 meaning we’re available to fix your needs whenever you need us.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Emergency Drain Service
A drainage emergency is anything that’s actively causing damage or making the property unsafe or unusable. That includes sewage backing up into the home, foul-water flooding, totally blocked toilets in single-toilet homes, collapsed drains, overflowing manholes and storm-related drainage failure. If in doubt, call – we’ll triage over the phone.
Yes. We aim to be on-site within 1 hour of your call across Birmingham and the West Midlands, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The same engineers that attend out-of-hours handle planned work, so you get the full diagnostic and repair toolkit, not a stop-gap call-out.
We aim to be on-site within 1 hour of your call across Birmingham and the West Midlands, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Travel time depends on your exact location and traffic. We give a confirmed arrival window when you book, and we update you if anything changes.
Domestic drain unblocking is £96 inc. VAT during standard hours (Monday to Friday, 08:00–16:30) and £132 inc. VAT outside those hours. There are no call-out charges, no inspection fees and no weekend surcharges – the price quoted is the price you pay. Repairs, relining and structural work are quoted separately in writing after a CCTV survey. View full pricing.
Stop using water in the property as far as possible – don’t flush toilets, run washing machines or dishwashers – to prevent further overflow. Move valuables off the floor in any flooding area, switch off electrics if water is near sockets, and keep pets and children out of contaminated water.
Most emergency drainage issues are resolved on the first visit. Engineers carry jetting equipment, CCTV cameras and rodding gear in-van. Complex repairs (collapsed pipes, structural damage) may need a follow-up visit, but the immediate emergency – the flooding or backup – is almost always stopped on day one.
We cover Birmingham city, all major suburbs (Harborne, Erdington, Northfield, Sutton Coldfield, Yardley and more), Aston, Castle Bromwich, Solihull and the wider West Midlands, plus surrounding towns including Cannock, Walsall, Wolverhampton, Tamworth and Coventry. Check our coverage.
Each emergency drainage van carries a high-pressure jetting unit, push-rod and crawler CCTV cameras, drain rods, electromechanical clearing tools, and the parts most commonly needed for emergency repairs. For larger jobs we can dispatch a vacuum tanker alongside the lead engineer.
