Dealing with a blocked drain, slow-running sink or overflowing gully? Drainage problems are common across Swindon, especially in busy residential areas where pipework has aged or systems are under pressure.

RAM Drainage provides fast, reliable drain unblocking throughout Swindon and nearby areas. From blocked kitchen waste pipes in Old Town to external drainage issues in North Swindon, we locate the fault quickly and get things moving again with minimal disruption.

Professional Drain Unblocking in Swindon

Blocked external drains

Overflowing gullies

Recurring drainage problems

CCTV Drain Surveys & Blockage Diagnosis

Some drainage problems require deeper investigation. Our CCTV drain surveys in Swindon allow us to inspect pipework internally, helping identify hidden faults, structural defects, and recurring blockage causes.

CCTV surveys are particularly useful for diagnosing:

  •  Recurring drain blockages
  • Suspected collapsed drains
  • Root ingress
  • Cracked or damaged pipework
  • Unexplained drainage issues

Using advanced diagnostic equipment, we can pinpoint problems accurately and recommend targeted repair solutions.

Drain Repairs Swindon

While many blocked drains can be cleared quickly, some issues require professional repair solutions to prevent ongoing problems and long-term damage.

R.A.M Drainage Solutions provide:

  • Drain relining
  • Patch repairs
  • Excavation & replacement
  • Joint sealing
  • Collapsed drain repairs

Our engineers focus on delivering reliable, long-term repair solutions designed to restore full system performance.

Common Signs Your Drain Needs Unblocking

Slowly Draining Water

If your sink, bath or shower takes longer to empty, there may be a build-up forming inside the pipework.

Unpleasant Drain Odours

Bad smells coming from drains often indicate trapped waste or stagnant water further along the system.

Gurgling Sounds

Air pockets caused by partial blockages can create bubbling or gurgling noises when water flows.

Water Backing Up

If flushing one appliance affects another, it usually points to a deeper blockage in the drainage line.

Overflowing Outdoor Drains

Standing water around drain covers or gullies suggests the system can’t cope with demand.

Toilet Not Flushing Properly

Weak flushing or rising water levels may signal a restriction further down the pipe rather than an issue with the toilet itself.

If you notice any of these warning signs at your Swindon property, it’s best to act early before the problem worsens.

Why Swindon is Vulnerable to Blocked Drains

Swindon’s mix of established neighbourhoods and modern developments means drainage systems vary widely. Older pipework, expanding housing estates and heavy rainfall can all contribute to recurring drainage problems.

Tree Root Intrusion

Areas with mature trees, such as Old Town and Lawn, often experience roots entering small cracks in underground pipes.

Ageing Pipework

Properties across Rodbourne, Gorse Hill and Pinehurst may still rely on older drainage systems that have shifted or deteriorated over time.

Ground Movement & Settlement

Natural ground movement or soil settlement can place stress on underground pipework, leading to fractures, joint displacement, or partial collapses.

Surface Water After Heavy Rain

When rainfall is high, partially blocked drains can quickly become overwhelmed, leading to backups or flooding.

Waste Build-Up

Grease, wipes and food debris remain one of the most common causes of blocked drains in homes across Haydon Wick, Abbey Meads and Stratton.

Foreign Object Obstructions

Items such as wipes, hygiene products, paper towels, and other unsuitable materials are a frequent cause of sudden drain blockages and system restrictions.

Because we work across Swindon regularly, we understand how local drainage networks behave. That’s why we:

  • Use CCTV drain surveys to check for cracked clay pipes and hidden faults

  • Offer trenchless pipe relining, so we can fix damage without digging up your garden

  • Respond fast to flooding and emergency call-outs during heavy rain

  • Work with landlords and letting agents to keep shared drains clear in flats and HMOs

Act Quickly - 24/7 Drainage Support

Drainage problems rarely improve on their own. Acting quickly can help prevent costly repairs and unnecessary disruption.

Prevent Property Damage

Blocked drains can force water back into sinks, toilets or outside areas. Early intervention reduces the risk of structural damage.

Protect Hygiene

Standing wastewater can lead to unpleasant smells and potential health risks. Clearing blockages quickly helps restore a safe environment.

Minimise Business Disruption

For restaurants, shops and commercial premises across Swindon, fast drain clearance keeps operations running smoothly.
