Problems we often see in Eastleigh

When customers in and around Eastleigh contact us about drain unblocking, these are some of the most common issues:

Shared clay drains blocking behind older terraces near the town centre
Wipes and fat blocking drains on family estates in Chandler’s Ford and Boyatt Wood
Construction debris in drains on newer developments
Kitchen gullies clogged with grease

What usually causes them

Wet wipes, sanitary products and kitchen roll flushed down toilets
Fat, oil and grease poured down kitchen sinks, which hardens in the pipe
Food waste, coffee grounds and rice collecting at bends
Hair and soap residue in bathroom waste pipes
Leaves, silt and debris washed into outside gullies

Drain Unblocking across Eastleigh

Drain blockages in Eastleigh tend to split along the age of the housing. The terraced streets around the town centre and near the railway works were built in the late 1800s and early 1900s, and many still have clay drains shared between houses. Those are more likely to suffer from root ingress and shifted joints.

In Chandler’s Ford, Boyatt Wood and Fair Oak, most homes were built from the 1960s onwards, with newer developments continuing to expand the borough. Plastic drains on these estates are less prone to structural damage, so the usual culprits are wipes, fat and food waste, and occasionally debris left behind during construction on newer builds.

What Clear Drainage does

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.

The blockage is traced to its source rather than just pushed further down the pipe.
You are told what caused the problem in plain English, with practical advice on preventing it.
Where a drain looks damaged, you can choose whether to investigate further with a CCTV survey.
The method is matched to the drain, from simple rodding to high-pressure jetting.

What to expect

How a drain unblocking job in Eastleigh usually works, from your first call to the drain running freely.

Tell us about the problem

Call or send an enquiry with your postcode and what you are seeing: which fittings are affected, whether water is rising outside and how urgent it is.
Locate the blockage

We check the affected fittings and lift inspection chambers where accessible to work out where the drain is blocked and which section is affected.
Clear the drain

The blockage is cleared using the most suitable method for the pipe (rodding, mechanical clearance or water jetting), and the drain is flushed through.
Test and explain

We run water through the system to confirm it is flowing, then explain what caused the blockage and whether anything else needs looking at.

Drain Unblocking Eastleigh: FAQs

Do you unblock drains in Chandler’s Ford?

Yes. Chandler’s Ford is part of our regular service area, along with Eastleigh town, Bishopstoke, Fair Oak and Boyatt Wood.

My new-build home in Eastleigh has a blocked drain. Who is responsible?

On very new developments, some drains may not yet have been adopted by the water company, in which case the developer may still be responsible. Check with the developer or your conveyancing documents. Drains serving only your home, within your boundary, are usually yours.

Do you offer drain jetting in Eastleigh too?

Yes. If a drain in Eastleigh keeps blocking or is heavily lined with grease or silt, jetting may be the better option. See our drain jetting Eastleigh page for more detail.
