Blocked Drains Poole

BLOCKED DRAINS POOLE

Got a blocked drain in Poole? Whether it’s a toilet that won’t flush, a kitchen sink that won’t empty, or an outside drain that’s overflowing, you’re in the right place.

RAM Drainage is a local drainage company with over 20 years of experience working across Poole and the wider BH area. We offer fast, affordable drain unblocking with no call-out charges and clear, upfront prices. Available 24/7, we handle everything from emergency call-outs to routine blockages in homes, flats, and commercial properties.

Signs You’ve Got a Blocked Drain

If something feels off with your drainage, don’t ignore it. Here are the most common warning signs we see every day:

Water draining slowly from sinks, showers or baths
Strange gurgling noises from plugholes
Bad smells coming from drains
Toilet struggling to flush or filling up too high
Wastewater backing up or overflowing outdoors

Even a small blockage can become a big problem if left untreated. It’s always better to get it checked and cleared before it damages your property or starts affecting hygiene.

Drainage Issues We Often See in Poole

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.

Roots Growing Into Drains

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.

Old Pipe Materials

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.

Flooding After Heavy Rain

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.

Issues in Shared or Rented Properties

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.

Why It’s Important to Act Fast

Keep Your Home or Business Running Smoothly

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.

Avoid Health Hazards

Stagnant water in blocked drains creates the perfect conditions for bacteria and mould. This isn’t just unpleasant — it can be a genuine health issue, especially for families or vulnerable people.

Prevent Damage to Your Property

A slow drain might seem harmless, but it can quickly lead to water backing up into sinks, baths or toilets. In more serious cases, sewage can overflow and flood your home or garden, damaging floors, walls and furniture.
