CCTV Drain Experts takes requests to unblock drains, gullies and toilets across Southampton and the wider Hampshire area, covering City Centre, Portswood, Shirley, Bitterne, Woolston and the SO postcode areas.

What causes blocked drains in Southampton
Large parts of Southampton sit close to the water table, so low-lying runs tend to take in silt and groundwater. Many older terraces still have their original clay pipes. Mature trees and mixed-age housing add roots and cracked joints to the usual faults.
- High water table and infiltration in low-lying areas
- Ageing clay drainage in Victorian terraces
- Silt build-up in shallow-fall runs near the waterfront
- Root ingress from mature street trees
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.
What it usually includes

- Locating the blockage and choosing the right clearance method
- High-pressure jetting or mechanical rodding to clear it
