Problems we often see in Fareham

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

  • Shared drain runs on estates in the Western Wards
  • Wipes and fat in household drains
  • Older clay drains in Portchester and Titchfield
  • Roots from mature trees in established neighbourhoods

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 Fareham

Fareham’s Western Wards (Locks Heath, Park Gate, Sarisbury and Warsash) were largely built from the 1970s onwards, while Whiteley is newer still. On these estates, drains are often shared between neighbouring homes, and blockages usually come from household waste rather than damaged pipes.

Older parts of Fareham town, Portchester and Titchfield village have more period housing, where clay drains, roots and shifted joints are more common causes of recurring problems.

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.

When to call us

Get in touch if you notice any of the following at your Fareham property:

  • Water rising in an outside gully or inspection chamber
  • Sinks, baths or showers draining slowly or not at all
  • Toilets filling higher than usual or slow to clear when flushed
  • Gurgling from plugholes or the toilet after water drains elsewhere
  • Unpleasant smells from drains, gullies or manhole covers
  • Water or waste backing up at the lowest point in the property

What to expect

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

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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 Fareham: FAQs

Do you cover Whiteley and Locks Heath?

Yes. We cover Whiteley, Locks Heath, Park Gate, Sarisbury, Titchfield, Portchester and Stubbington.

My neighbour’s drain is blocked too. What does that mean?

If several homes are affected, the blockage is likely to be in a shared drain, which is generally the water company’s responsibility. We can check where it is.

Can you jet my drain if it keeps blocking?

Yes. If a drain is heavily lined with grease or debris, jetting cleans the pipe back to its full bore. A CCTV survey can check for damage if blockages continue.
