What causes blocked drains in Bristol
Bristol's older terraces and converted homes often keep their original clay drains and shared runs. The city's hills also affect how pipes fall. Mature trees and clay soils add roots and cracks in many areas.
- Original clay drainage in older terraces and conversions
- Shared runs in harbourside and converted properties
- Variable pipe falls across the city's hilly topography
- Root ingress and cracking in clay soils
Why it matters
Clearance
Jetting and rodding clear most blockages. Ask how many visits the job is likely to need, so you can plan around it.
Verified clear
Ask for a camera check afterwards to confirm the blockage has gone, and to see the state of the pipe. That way, you know the job is done.
Cause flagged
If something keeps causing blockages, a camera check can spot it. You can then fix the cause, rather than pay to clear it again.

- Locating the blockage and choosing the right clearance method
