Message on WhatsAppA toilet that will not flush or is filling up instead of draining down is not something you can ignore until morning. Foul water backing up into the pan is a health risk, and in a Glasgow tenement where four or five flats share a single soil pipe, one blocked toilet can quickly become everyone's problem. The longer it sits, the worse it gets.
ClearFlow is a Glasgow-based drainage company run by David and Chris. They have been clearing blocked toilets across the city and the surrounding area since 2010, from single flats in the Southside to commercial properties in the city centre. When you call, you speak to one of them directly, get a price upfront, and have an engineer at your door in under an hour across most of Glasgow.
We clear the blockage properly, not just enough to get things moving for a day or two. If the same toilet keeps blocking, there is usually a reason further down the pipe. We carry CCTV on every van so we can find the root cause while we are there and save you calling us back next month.
Toilet not flushing or water rising instead of draining

Gurgling sounds from the toilet, other drains or the soil stack
Slow flush where water drains away much more slowly than usual
Sewage or drain smell from the toilet or bathroom
Water or waste backing up into the shower tray or bath when you flush
Toilet overflowing onto the bathroom floor
Repeated blockages that seem to clear then come back within days
Phone or WhatsApp, David or Chris picks up directly. We take the details, confirm availability and tell you what it will cost before we set off.
You get the price by text or email before the engineer leaves. Zero call-out charge, zero hidden extras.
We cover Glasgow and a 50-mile radius and work from the city, so most jobs across Glasgow are with you fast.
We rod or jet the soil pipe to clear the blockage completely. If the toilet has been repeatedly blocking we will run the CCTV camera to check what is happening further down the line.
Multiple flush tests confirm full flow is restored. We let you know what caused it and what to do to stop it happening again.
Blocked toilets in Glasgow fall into two categories. The first is a single blockage caused by something that should not have been flushed.
The single biggest cause in Glasgow, including 'flushable' wipes. They don't break down and collect on soil-pipe joints.
A pipe already narrowed by a partial blockage can fully stop with a single heavy flush.
In tenements the soil pipe is shared. Scale, wipes and grease narrow the bore over years until it blocks.
Cotton buds, nappy liners, children's toys. More common than people admit, and often what CCTV confirms.
Older clay and cast-iron soil pipes in pre-war Glasgow narrow from mineral deposit over decades.
Where the soil pipe runs underground, roots or a cracked joint cause partial then full blockages. This is where CCTV earns its money.
Good news: every one of these has a clean, proven fix, and we'll show you exactly what we found.

If the toilet keeps blocking, we find out why while we're there rather than leaving a temporary fix.
We carry the right equipment to clear the vast majority of blocked toilets in a single visit.
Electro-mechanical rodding equipment handles the most common toilet blockages quickly and cleanly, cutting through compacted wipes, breaking up scale and shifting whatever should not have been flushed. For deeper blockages on the soil stack, high-pressure water jetting at up to 4,000 PSI clears the full bore of the pipe from top to bottom.
HD CCTV cameras with distance metering give us a live view inside the soil pipe. If a toilet has been repeatedly blocking or the problem seems to involve more than one fixture, we run the camera to find exactly where the issue is and what is causing it. We show you the footage on screen so you can see for yourself.
We carry all of this on every van. There is no second visit to bring the right kit.
No call-out fee. You pay only if you go ahead with the work, and the price is confirmed in writing before we start. There are no add-ons or extras after the job.
No surcharge for evenings, weekends or bank holidays. The price at 11pm on a Saturday is the same as any other time.
If the camera shows a deeper issue like a cracked pipe or collapsed joint, we explain what we found, show you the footage, and give you a separate written quote. Nothing happens without your agreement.
