Table of Contents

Portswood is one of Southampton’s busiest neighbourhoods, known for its student population, Victorian housing, and high-density flats. But with its charm comes an ongoing challenge: frequent blocked drains and ageing pipework that can lead to expensive, disruptive issues if not handled properly.

At Southampton Drains24, we’re experts in drain repairs in Portswood, offering tailored solutions for landlords, tenants, and homeowners.


Why Are Blocked Drains So Common in Portswood?

There are a few key reasons:

🏘️ Older Victorian and Edwardian Homes

  • Many properties in Portswood still rely on clay pipes installed over 100 years ago. These are prone to cracks, misalignment, and root intrusion.

🏢 High-Density Flats and Student Housing

  • Multiple tenants = high water usage, fat build-up, and hygiene product misuse.
  • Shared facilities often lead to repeated blockages in kitchens, bathrooms, and shared gullies.

🌳 Root Damage and Ground Movement

  • Tree-lined streets like Belmont Road, Gordon Avenue, and Alma Road are hotspots for root ingress.
  • Shifting ground over time weakens joints and allows roots to break into pipes.

Common Drainage Issues in Portswood We Fix:

  • Repeated sink, toilet or shower blockages
  • Overflowing gullies and inspection chambers
  • Collapsed pitch fibre pipes from mid-century builds
  • Slow draining or gurgling sounds in student lets
  • Bad odours around driveways or garden drains
