5 Warning Signs Your Selby Drain Needs Repair Before Flood Season

When flood season arrives in Selby, your drainage system needs to work perfectly. If it doesn’t, you are risking water damage, subsidence or even raw sewage backing into your home. DMI Draincare & Groundworks has handled drain repairs in Selby for years. We know the signs to look out for, and when to act fast!

1. Slow Drainage or Repeated Blockages

If your sinks, toilets or garden drains empty slowly, or clog often, this could be a partially collapsed or blocked pipe. Its one of the first signs that you need drain repairs.

Don’t wait until it floods.

We offer quick drain unblocking and CCTV inspections to locate and fix the problem fast, before bigger damage sets in.

2. Water Pooling in Your Drive or Garden

Standing water after rain can point to collapsed drains, poor soakaway systems, or blocked gullies. This can cause frost damage, damp, and eventually flooding.

If you spot this, its time to speak to a local drainage specialist in Selby.

3. Strange Smells or Gurgling Drains

Smelly drains or gurgling toilets can be caused by trapped gases or rotting waste in broken pipes.

Our CCTV drain surveys find hidden damage fast, no digging needed.

4. Cracks or Dips in Your Property

If your driveway or garden shows cracks or dips, a broken drain might be undermining the ground below. This is especially common in older Selby homes with clay soils and dated systems.

Learn how our full drainage repair service and groundworks expertise keeps Selby properties safe.

5. Drains Overflow During Heavy Rain

If your drains can’t cope with storms, you might need larger pipes, extra gullies or better water dispersal. Our team handles full drain installations and system upgrades to prepare you for flood season.
