Carnoustie is in the Angus Council area. A drain that serves only your home is usually yours, while a public sewer is Scottish Water’s. Check which pipe is blocked, then ask for a written quote before work starts.
The request form on this page accepts messages 24/7. Mark your request urgent if water is rising, since that helps the engineer decide what to do first. Then use the questions below when the engineer replies.
Carnoustie is a coastal town in Angus, east of Dundee. Angus Council is the council for the area. Angus Council has a report page with a blocked drain form under roads and pavements. A blocked drain on the street is still worth reporting there.
A drain inside your own boundary is a different matter, however. Citizens Advice Scotland says owners look after the household pipes up to the public sewer.
If grease or food waste is the cause, read how to stop kitchen drains blocking. While you wait for a reply, check the warning signs of a blocked drain.
Stop using the affected sink, toilet or bath, since more water makes things worse. Then check whether other drains are slow, and look at any outside gully or inspection cover. A gully full of leaves can often be cleared by hand with gloves on. If the water still will not drain, the blockage is further down the pipe.
At that point, drain unblocking is the usual next step. Describe what you found when you send the request, because it helps the engineer plan.
These are UK price guides, not quotes for any Carnoustie address. For example, harder blockages and out-of-hours work can cost more. Ask whether there is a call-out charge, and ask for the quote in writing. For sewage inside the home, emergency drain help in Carnoustie explains what to do while you wait.

Sometimes. With gloves on, lift the gully grid and clear leaves and debris by hand. Stop if the water still will not drain, because the blockage is further down. Never use strong chemicals in a drain you cannot see.
