Management won’t fix flooding from main drain in my ground floor flat!

Hi my ground floor flat recently experienced flooding due to a blockage in the main drainage pipe, causing wastewater to overflow into the kitchen area and sink without any appliance use.

The management company sent a contractor who tested and said the main damage pipe is clear (simply by running dye through) and
refuses to fix it.

We know the main drainage pipe is not 100% blocked as everyone is using the drain on a daily basis but likely blocked enough to floor my ground floor flat. Their test and conclusion were almost pointless.

How can I compel the management company to instruct a qualified contractor to resolve this issue promptly?

My flat is now subject to flooding at any time.

Thanks,

Mike
