Sten · Answer

Hi. This is circumstantial. There is no one answer for this question. It depends on what has caused the blockage i.e. general soft blockage, wipes, collapsed drains or tree roots etc, how long the blockage has been building up, are there any accessible manholes (assuming it is external drain blockage) and the experience, equipment and charging structure of the company you decide to use.
