Drainage · Southampton & Hampshire

Blocked drains, found and fixed.

A rod and a hopeful prod won't tell you why it keeps coming back. Our cameras will. Fixed-price unblocking, CCTV surveys and high-pressure jetting — the same firm your street has called since 1987.

CCTV drain surveys

Stop guessing.
Start looking.

We send a camera down the line and you watch with us, live on the screen — the cracked joint, the root that's grown through, the thirty years of scale. No jargon, no maybes. You see the fault the moment we do.

Every survey ends with a written report and the recorded footage — the kind of evidence insurers and conveyancers actually accept. Dad started doing surveys this way in the nineties because guessing wastes everyone's money. We haven't changed our minds.

  • Faults located to the metre, on screen while you watch
  • Written report suitable for insurers and house purchases
  • Dated footage supplied to keep — yours, not ours

High-pressure jetting

Grease, roots, wet wipes.
Gone.

A rod pokes a hole through a blockage. Water finds the hole, you think it's sorted, and three weeks later it's back — we hear that story most days. Our van-mounted jetters strip the pipe wall back to full bore, so the whole line runs clear, not just a channel through the middle.

Kitchen lines thick with fat, outside runs invaded by roots, soil stacks that have swallowed one wipe too many — jetting deals with all of it in a single visit, and we camera the line afterwards so you can see it's actually clean.

  • Full-bore clean, not a poked hole that reblocks
  • Van-mounted units on all 14 vans — no waiting for kit
  • Safe on old clay and pitch fibre pipes — pressure set to the line

Early warning

Five signs a blockage
is on its way.

Drains rarely block overnight. They grumble for weeks first — and caught at the grumbling stage, it's a quick fixed-price visit rather than a flooded kitchen on a Sunday night.

Ticking two or more of these? Worth a phone call. We'll tell you honestly whether it can wait, and there's no charge for the advice.

Book before it blocks
  • Water draining slower each weekThe sink or bath takes noticeably longer to empty than it used to.
  • Gurgling from the plugholeAir being dragged through the trap as water fights past a blockage.
  • A smell you can't placeWaste sitting in the line makes itself known long before you see it.
  • Water pooling by the outside gullyThe run to the main is struggling — the classic first sign of roots or fat.
  • Toilet water rising before it fallsIf the level climbs when you flush, the blockage is already forming.
Paperwork that counts

A report your insurer
will actually accept.

Buying a house? A pre-purchase drain survey costs a fraction of what a collapsed Victorian sewer costs to dig up — and it's the one check most homebuyer surveys quietly skip. We turn reports around before your exchange date, not after it.

Making a claim? Insurers want evidence, not a plumber's word. Our surveys come with dated footage, a written findings report and a plain-English recommendation — the format loss adjusters ask for, because we asked them.

  • Written findings with defects graded by severity
  • Dated CCTV footage supplied with every report
  • Accepted for insurance claims and house purchases

Drainage emergencies · 24/7

Water coming up,
not going down?

Sewage backing up won't improve by morning. One call, a real person answers, and a jetting van is moving — usually inside the hour anywhere in Southampton.
