Drain Unblocking Bournemouth

When a drain blocks, it is usually caused by build up inside the pipe rather than a single surface obstruction. In Bournemouth, the most common causes include wipes and paper build up, grease and food waste, and outside drainage clogged by leaves, sand and silt.

If blockages keep returning, there is often an underlying cause such as root ingress, a displaced joint or a damaged section of pipe. A CCTV drain survey in Bournemouth can confirm the cause so the correct repair is carried out first time.


Common signs you need drain unblocking

  • slow draining sinks, baths or showers
  • toilets struggling to flush or backing up
  • gurgling sounds from plugholes
  • bad smells indoors or near outside drains
  • overflowing gullies, chambers or manholes

Blocked drain repair options if the issue is deeper

If the survey shows an underlying defect, we will explain the best route forward. That might include root removal where tree roots are the cause, or no dig drain relining to seal cracks and prevent repeat issues without excavation.
