Glasgow Drain Unblocker covers Glasgow and eight nearby towns. Pick your town below to see what you can ask about. Then send a request through the online form, because it takes only a minute.
The towns sit in four council areas: Glasgow City, South Lanarkshire, North Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire. That matters for road drains, because councils look after them. However, Scottish Water looks after public sewers in every area.
Glasgow
Glasgow City Council covers most of the city, while Scottish Water runs the public sewers. The National Records of Scotland estimated about 632,350 people in the Glasgow locality in mid-2020.

Pick a town below to see the services you can ask about. Each page also explains who looks after the drains there, since this differs between councils.
Who looks after which drain
Your own drain
You are responsible for the private drain that runs from your home to your property boundary. A drainage engineer can clear it or survey it, so ask for a written quote first.
The public sewer
Scottish Water looks after the public sewer network. If flooding appears to contain sewage, call Scottish Water on 0800 0778 778, because it runs the public sewers.
Road drains and gullies
Councils look after the drainage of local roads and public highways. For example, South Lanarkshire Council deals with blocked road gullies, which some people call stanks.
Renting a home
For private pipework, Scottish Water suggests a licensed plumber. If you rent, it suggests your landlord or the council, so ask them before you book any work.
