Drain Unblocking Portsmouth
Clearing blocked drains, gullies and waste pipes at homes and businesses, then explaining what caused the blockage so it is less likely to come back.
If your drain is heavily lined with grease, keeps blocking, or serves a busy kitchen, jetting can clean it back to its full bore.
Problems we often see in Portsmouth
When customers in and around Portsmouth contact us about drain jetting, these are some of the most common issues:
- Grease-lined drains in Southsea restaurants and takeaways
- Build-up in long shared terrace drain runs
- Recurring blockages in heavily used shared houses
- Silted gullies in yards and courtyards
What usually causes them
- Fat, oil and grease that coats and narrows the pipe
- Silt and grit washed in from driveways and roads
- Soap scum, hair and limescale in bathroom wastes
- Fine root growth at pipe joints
- Years of gradual build-up in drains that have never been cleaned
Drain Jetting across Portsmouth
Portsmouth has one of the densest concentrations of restaurants, cafés and takeaways on the south coast, especially in Southsea, around Albert Road and Elm Grove, and at Gunwharf Quays. Kitchen drains in these premises accumulate grease quickly, and planned jetting can reduce disruptive blockages.
The city’s terraced streets often share long drain runs behind the houses. When these lines are heavily used (for example, in streets with many shared houses), build-up can narrow the pipe over time. Jetting clears the whole run rather than just punching through a blockage.
What Clear Drainage does
High-pressure water jetting to clear stubborn blockages and scour away fat, silt, scale and debris from the inside of drain pipes.
- Cleans the full bore of the pipe, not just a channel through the blockage.
- Well suited to fat, grease, silt and scale build-up.
- Can be combined with a CCTV survey to confirm the pipe is clear.
- Useful as planned maintenance for drains that block regularly.
