My septic tank is overflowing. What should I do?
If your septic tank is overflowing, stop using water wherever possible to prevent the problem from getting worse. Keep people and pets away from the affected area and contact Pellows immediately. Our experienced team can safely empty the tank, investigate the cause of the overflow and help restore your system as quickly as possible.
My drains are blocked. Can you provide emergency drain unblocking?
Yes. We provide emergency drain unblocking services across Cornwall. Whether you're dealing with a blocked toilet, overflowing manhole, slow-draining sink or blocked external drain, our experienced team has the specialist equipment to clear the blockage quickly and safely.
There's a foul smell coming from my drains or septic tank. What could be causing it?
A persistent foul smell can be caused by a full septic tank, blocked drains, damaged pipework or a fault within your drainage system. If the smell doesn't disappear or continues to return, it's best to arrange an inspection before the issue becomes more serious.
Can you respond to hazardous waste or oil spills?
Yes. Pellows provides specialist hazardous waste collection and disposal services throughout Cornwall. If you've experienced an oil spill or need hazardous materials removed safely and legally, contact our team immediately so we can assess the situation and respond as quickly as possible.

Do I need a CCTV drain survey?
A CCTV drain survey is recommended if you have recurring blockages, slow drainage, foul smells or suspect damaged pipework. Using specialist camera equipment, we can identify issues such as collapsed drains, tree root ingress and damaged pipework without unnecessary excavation, helping you avoid costly repairs.

Yes. Pellows is a fully licensed and insured waste management company with more than 60 years of experience. We dispose of waste responsibly in accordance with UK environmental regulations and hold ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 accreditation, giving our customers complete peace of mind.
