First, tell us what is going on. Because every minute counts, keep the details brief. That might be flooding, a sewage backup or a collapse. We then send an engineer to your Saltney address.
As a result, the nearest available engineer heads to your property promptly, with urgent jobs prioritised. They bring pumping, jetting and containment gear for most situations.
On arrival, we secure the affected area. This comes first because safety matters most. Next, we stop the fault from spreading if we can. After that, we clear standing water or sewage to limit damage.
We then find the root cause, because a quick fix alone may not last. After that, we carry out the fastest effective fix. This may be clearing a blockage, patching a fault or planning more work.
Once the emergency is over, we send a written summary. If you need more repairs, we book them for a time that suits you. You choose the date, since it is your home.
Describe the problem in the emergency form. We send the nearest available engineer. On site, we contain the problem, clear the cause and tell you what comes next.

Our teams cover Chester and the surrounding area and aim to reach Saltney promptly, with urgent jobs prioritised. We prioritise emergency requests ahead of routine work. Because every minute counts, tell us if sewage is entering the home.
An emergency includes sewage backing up into your home, flooding from blocked or collapsed drains, and overflowing manholes. It also includes any drain failure that puts health at risk. If in doubt, contact us and we will advise. For example, a toilet that will not flush and is overflowing needs urgent help.
The price depends on the fault and the kit it needs. Emergency work may cost more than routine work because of the urgency. However, we confirm the price before we start.
