Some drainage issues require more than simply clearing a blockage. If problems continue returning, a CCTV drain survey can identify the underlying cause.
Our specialist survey equipment allows us to inspect underground drainage systems and locate issues such as:
Following the survey, we provide clear findings and recommendations to help you understand the condition of your drainage system.
Where drainage systems have become damaged, we can provide practical repair solutions to restore performance and prevent further problems.
Common repair work includes:
Our team will always recommend the most appropriate solution based on the condition of your drainage system.
If sinks, baths or showers are taking longer than usual to empty, it could be a sign of a build-up in the pipe.
A strong, unpleasant smell near your drains often means waste is sitting where it shouldn’t.
Bubbling or gurgling noises from your plugholes or toilet can point to trapped air caused by a blockage.
If water comes back up after you flush or empty a sink, that’s a clear sign the drain is blocked somewhere down the line.
Water spilling from outdoor drain covers or gullies, especially after rain, usually means the system is struggling.
If the water level rises too high or doesn’t clear properly, the problem might not be the toilet itself — it could be a blockage further down.
If you’re seeing any of these signs, give us a call — we cover all of Poole and can usually get to you the same day. Something else that might be the issue? No worries, we diagnose and fix any drainage issue.
Poole has its own quirks when it comes to drainage. The mix of coastal weather, older homes and tree-lined streets can cause specific types of problems, many of which we deal with regularly.
In areas like Parkstone, Broadstone and Lilliput, large trees in gardens are common. Over time, roots can grow into old or cracked pipework, causing slow drainage or full blockages underground. We use specialist tools and CCTV to detect and remove these without digging up your garden.
Parts of Poole still rely on original clay drainage systems, especially around Hamworthy and Oakdale. These pipes are prone to shifting, cracking or collapsing, especially after heavy rain or nearby building works. If you’re in one of these areas and having regular issues, it could be time to check what’s going on below ground.
Being on the coast, Poole can get hit with sudden, intense rainfall. If your drains are already partly blocked, it doesn’t take much for water to back up into gardens, paths or even through manhole covers. We offer emergency call-outs during storms to get things flowing again before the damage spreads.
In places like Canford Heath or the town centre, we often help landlords and property managers deal with blocked drains in shared homes or HMOs. Food waste, wipes and oil down the sink are common culprits. We work with many local agents to provide quick, no-fuss solutions and ongoing support.
If you live in a Victorian terrace in Poole Old Town or a newer build in Creekmoor, we’ve got the tools and knowledge to deal with your drainage problem properly.
A clogged drain can cause water or sewage to back up into your sinks, toilets, or even onto floors. Quick action helps avoid flooding and water damage to your property.
Stagnant water and sewage from blocked drains harbor bacteria and can pose health risks. Foul odours can also permeate your home or business. Clearing the blockage swiftly keeps your environment hygienic.
Especially for businesses in Bournemouth (restaurants, hotels, etc.), a blocked drain can disrupt operations. Prompt drain unblocking means you can get back to normal with minimal downtime.
