This morning, after last night’s heavy rain, I noticed a large puddle forming near the back of my house. When I checked, I realised the outdoor drain was completely blocked, and water was starting to pool against the wall. I tried to clear some of the debris on top, but the water still wouldn’t drain away. I started worrying about possible flooding or water damage, especially since it’s been so wet this winter. I’m unsure whether I should try to fix this myself or if it’s time to call in a professional. I want to know the best steps to take when faced with a blocked outdoor drain during the colder months, especially to avoid any bigger problems down the track.
