Drain Unblocking in Fleet

Don't flush toilets, run taps, or use the washing machine. Every litre you add to the system backs up further. If water is already overflowing from a manhole or drain, stay away from it - it may contain sewage.

Check your front and back garden for manhole covers. If you can safely lift one, look inside. A full chamber confirms a blockage downstream. An empty chamber means the blockage is between that point and the house. This tells us exactly where to start.

Move bins, plant pots, garden furniture, and anything else blocking access to drain gullies and manhole covers. We need to get a high-pressure jetting hose to the blockage point.

Wet wipes, grease, food waste, nappies, sanitary products - tell us honestly. It helps us choose the right clearance method and advise you on preventing it happening again.

Fleet's mature oak and ash trees along residential roads send roots into drainage pipes seeking water. The roots enter through pipe joints and grow into solid masses. This is particularly common in properties built before 1970 with clay drainage pipes.

Kitchen waste combines with soap and hair to create solid blockages in the drain runs under properties. In Fleet's terraced houses, shared drainage systems mean one household's grease can affect neighbours downstream.

Children's toys, wet wipes, and sanitary products don't break down and create solid blockages. Modern properties in Fleet's newer estates have smaller bore pipes that are more prone to blockages from items that older systems might flush through.

Ground movement in Fleet's clay soil, especially during wet winters, can crack or collapse drainage pipes. Victorian properties along the railway line are particularly susceptible to ground movement affecting the drainage runs.

High-pressure water jetting units, CCTV drain cameras, and mechanical clearance tools. All equipment is maintained to British Standard requirements and suitable for domestic drainage systems from Victorian clay pipes to modern plastic installations.

Engineers trained in drainage systems and blockage clearance techniques. All work follows Building Regulations Part H requirements for drainage and waste disposal systems.

Emergency drain clearance available seven days a week. We carry standard clearance equipment on all service vehicles to handle most residential blockages without return visits.

Fixed prices for standard drain clearance work with additional costs only for complex blockages requiring specialist equipment. All prices confirmed before work starts with no hidden charges for call-out or diagnostics.
