Identifying the Problem: Drain Survey Southampton

Before any repair begins, the most important step is a detailed drain survey in Southampton. Using advanced CCTV camera technology, our engineers inspect your entire drainage system in real time—identifying:

  • Cracks or fractures
  • Root ingress
  • Collapsed sections
  • Fat, scale, or debris build-up
  • Misaligned joints

This non-invasive survey ensures the chosen repair method is accurate, cost-effective, and long-lasting.


Drain Repair Methods Compared

Once we identify the issue, we recommend one of the following drainage repair solutions:

1. Drain Rodding / Jetting

Best for: Simple blockages caused by debris or fat.
Method: Mechanical rods or high-pressure water jets clear obstructions.
Pros: Quick, non-invasive, low-cost.
Cons: Doesn’t fix structural damage or collapse.

2. Patch Lining

Best for: Small cracks or localised damage.
Method: Resin patch applied inside the pipe using air or water pressure.
Pros: Fast, trenchless, long-lasting.
Cons: Only suitable for short sections (1m or less).

3. Full Drain Relining (CIPP)

Best for: Widespread cracks, leaks, or joint displacement.
Method: A full liner is installed inside the pipe and cured in place.
Pros: No digging, permanent seal, improves flow.
Cons: Higher cost; not suitable if the pipe is fully collapsed.

4. Drain Excavation & Replacement

Best for: Collapsed or severely deformed pipes.
Method: Exposed and replaced through digging.
Pros: Complete structural renewal.
Cons: Most expensive, disruptive to gardens/driveways.

📋 Frequently Asked Questions

❓ What’s the best way to repair a blocked drain in Southampton?

It depends on the cause. For minor blockages, high-pressure jetting is often enough. For structural issues like cracks or collapsed sections, drain relining or excavation may be required.

❓ How can I find out what’s causing my blocked drain?

We recommend a CCTV drain survey. This allows us to inspect the inside of your drains and pinpoint the exact problem — whether it’s fat build-up, roots, cracks, or a collapsed pipe.

❓ Do I need to dig up my garden to fix a drain?

Not always. Many of our repairs use no-dig trenchless methods like patch lining or full drain relining (CIPP), which avoid excavation.

❓ What areas do you cover from Southampton?

We serve all of Southampton and nearby areas including Totton, Eastleigh, Chandler’s Ford, and Bitterne.

❓ How long does a typical drain repair take?

Most unblocking jobs take under an hour. Repairs like patch lining can be completed in a few hours, while full excavations may take 1–2 days depending on location and access.
