Problems we often see in Eastleigh
When customers in and around Eastleigh contact us about blocked drains, these are some of the most common issues:
- Plastic inspection chambers filling with water on estates
- Shared drain runs serving several homes
- Brick chambers and clay drains behind older terraces
- Leaves blocking open gullies in autumn
What usually causes them
- Leaves, soil and debris washed into open gullies
- Fat and food waste from kitchen sinks collecting in the drain
- Wipes and sanitary products lodging at bends and junctions
- Tree and shrub roots growing into older clay pipes
- Subsidence or ground movement displacing pipe joints
Blocked Drains across Eastleigh
On Eastleigh’s modern estates, underground drains typically run through plastic inspection chambers in front or rear gardens and join neighbouring properties before reaching the sewer. Lifting the chambers in order usually shows quickly where the blockage is and whether it is in a private or shared section.
In older terraces near the town centre, drains may run along the backs of houses in clay pipes with brick chambers. Blockages here are more often linked to roots or displaced joints, so if they keep returning, a survey is worthwhile.
