Soakaway Unblocking in Sandown, Isle of Wight

Most of us don't give our drainage a second thought until there's a problem. Usually, it's a case of 'silting up'. Over the years, fine sand, clay, and bits of moss from your roof wash down into the system. This debris fills the gaps in your soakaway crates or stone pits, stopping the natural process of percolation. When that happens, the system loses its structural integrity and its ability to handle surface water runoff. If your downpipes are overflowing or the ground feels like a sponge, it's a clear sign that the silt needs to go.

Nobody wants their garden dug up if it can be avoided. That's why we use high-pressure water jetting (HPWJ) to scour out the silt and debris from your pipes and attenuation cells without the mess. If we're not quite sure what's causing the hold-up, we'll pop a camera down there for a CCTV drain survey. It’s the most effective way to spot things like root ingress or a collapsed pipe without lifting a single spade. We'll show you the footage, explain the problem in plain English, and give you a straightforward plan to fix it.
