What Causes Blocked Drains?

Most drain blockages start small and worsen over time. Here are some common causes:

  • Grease, fat and food build-up in kitchen sinks
  • Wet wipes, hair and sanitary products in bathroom pipes
  • Tree root intrusion into underground drains
  • Collapsed or cracked pipework due to age or ground movement
  • Scale and mineral build-up in hard water areas like Bournemouth

Our Unblocking Methods & Tools

Our experienced engineers are trained in a range of unblocking techniques, so we can match the solution to the problem — fast.

🔧 Mechanical Rodding

Best for: Basic household clogs (toilet, sink)
Tool used: Drain rods with corkscrew tips
Pros: Fast, low-cost, ideal for first-time blockages
Cons: Less effective on deeper or more stubborn issues


💨 High-Pressure Water Jetting

Best for: Fat, grease, or scale build-up
Tool used: Jetting unit with flexible hose and rotating nozzles
Pros: Clears stubborn blockages and scrubs pipe walls clean
Cons: Requires access to an external drain


📹 CCTV Drain Surveys

Best for: Recurring issues or unknown causes
Tool used: Waterproof HD camera with live feed
Pros: Accurately identifies root ingress, cracks, collapses
Cons: Diagnostic — used before deciding on repair


🌱 Root Cutting & Descaling

Best for: Blockages caused by tree roots or scale
Tool used: Mechanical spinning cutter head
Pros: Clears invasive roots without damaging pipework
Cons: May need relining to prevent roots returning


🛠️ CIPP Drain Lining

Best for: Damaged pipes and joint displacements
Tool used: Resin-impregnated liner cured in place
Pros: No-dig repair, permanent seal, faster than excavation
Cons: Slightly higher cost than patch repair, not suitable for fully collapsed pipes

FAQs

1) Do you charge a call‑out fee for blocked drains in Bournemouth?

No. We have no call‑out fees and no hidden charges. You’ll get a clear, fixed quote before any work starts.

2) What methods do you use to unblock drains?

We match the fix to the fault: mechanical rodding for simple clogs, high‑pressure water jetting for fat/scale, root cutting/descaling for root or mineral build‑up, and CCTV surveys to diagnose repeat issues.

3) When is a CCTV drain survey needed?

If blockages keep returning, or you suspect structural defects (cracks, displaced joints, partial collapse), a CCTV survey pinpoints the cause so we can recommend permanent repairs such as patching or CIPP lining.

4) How fast can you attend in Bournemouth?

We provide rapid same‑day response across Bournemouth, with 24/7 emergency cover for urgent blockages.

5) How long does unblocking usually take?

Most domestic blockages are cleared within an hour. Complex faults (roots, heavy scale, collapsed sections) may require further works after diagnostics.

6) Will jetting or root cutting damage my pipes?

No. Pressures, cutters, and heads are selected to suit pipe material and diameter. We start minimally, verify by CCTV where appropriate, and guarantee our workmanship.

7) What if my pipe is cracked or collapsed?

For localised defects we use patch repairs; for longer sections we use CIPP (no‑dig) lining. Fully collapsed pipes may require excavation and replacement—we’ll explain options and costs upfront.

8) Do you guarantee your drain unblocking and repairs?

Yes. Unblocking and repair work comes with a written guarantee; terms depend on the repair type and will be confirmed on your quote.

9) How can I prevent future blockages?

Avoid FOG (fat, oil, grease) down sinks, don’t flush wipes/sanitary items, schedule periodic jetting/descaling where scale builds, and consider repairs/lining if CCTV finds defects.

10) Which areas do you cover?

We cover Bournemouth, Poole, and Christchurch, with fast local response and 24/7 availability.
