Problems we often see in Totton

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

Shifted joints in mid-century drains
Roots from mature garden trees
Gullies overflowing in heavy rain
Wipes and fat blocking household drains

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 Totton

Much of Totton’s housing was built between the 1950s and 1980s, and drains from that period can be clay or early plastic. As the ground settles and trees in gardens mature, joints can move and let in roots, leading to blockages that recur.

Low-lying parts of town near the river and Eling can also see gullies and surface water drains struggle in heavy rain, particularly if they are already partly blocked with leaves and silt.

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 Totton 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.
