Drain Unblocking in Hayling Island, Portsmouth & Hampshire

Blocked drains can happen for all sorts of reasons. Inside your home, it’s often things like grease, fat, and food scraps going down the kitchen sink, or hair and soap scum in bathroom drains. For outside drains, common culprits include leaves, silt, and sometimes even tree roots working their way into the pipes. Whether it's a modern development in Waterlooville or a historic property in Chichester, these issues can affect any drainage system.

There are a few tell-tale signs. You might notice water draining away very slowly from your sink, bath, or shower. Gurgling sounds from the plughole are another common indicator. In more serious cases, you might experience bad smells coming from your drains, or even water backing up and overflowing. If you spot any of these issues, it's best to get it looked at.

For very minor blockages, a bit of DIY with a plunger might sometimes do the trick. However, if the problem persists, or if it’s a more serious blockage (like an overflowing outside drain or a blocked toilet that won’t clear), it's always best to call in a professional drainage company like us. Using the wrong tools or chemicals can sometimes make the problem worse or damage your pipes. Our team has the right equipment and experience to sort the issue safely and effectively.

We use a combination of techniques depending on the type and severity of the blockage. For many internal blockages, traditional drain rodding can be very effective. For tougher or outdoor blockages, we often use high-pressure water jetting. This powerful equipment scours the inside of the pipes, cutting through grease, scale, tree roots, and other debris to leave your drain clear and flowing freely. We always aim to use the most efficient and least disruptive method for your specific situation.
