Eastleigh, Hampshire
Railway terraces, post-war estates and busy commercial units all put different demands on the same ageing pipework. We clear the blockage, survey the run and tell you whether it will happen again.
No work priced until a camera has shown you what is actually down there.
Eastleigh sits between our Romsey base and Southampton, so it is on our normal working route rather than a detour. Town centre, Boyatt Wood, Fair Oak side, Bishopstoke border, Allbrook, Chandler's Ford edge and the industrial estates around the airport and works are all regular ground for us.
The phone is answered 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Ring and we will tell you honestly where the van is and when we can be with you, no invented arrival slot to keep you on the line.
Eastleigh's drainage problems are shaped by its history. The railway terraces off Market Street and Desborough Road drain very differently from the 1960s and 1970s estates at Boyatt Wood, and both differ again from the modern commercial units near Southampton Airport. Fourteen years in the trade means we arrive with the right kit for the property in front of us.
Every service we offer is available across Eastleigh, for households, landlords and commercial premises alike.
One visit that clears the blockage, shows you what caused it on screen, and leaves the run flowing before we pack up, so you are not paying for the same drain twice.
More about this service
Internal blockages dealt with without a bathroom full of foul water: the cause traced from the fixture back to the run, cleared, and the waste vacuumed away with us.
More about this serviceA camera down the run turns a guess into a fact: you find out exactly what is wrong, where it is, how deep it sits, and what it genuinely takes to put right.
More about this service
Rodding punches a hole through a blockage. Jetting removes it, fat, silt, scale and root growth cut away and flushed out, so the run keeps flowing long after we have gone.
More about this service
Silt, leaves and grit vacuumed out rather than pushed along, the run jetted clean, and water taken away from your doorway, driveway and yard instead of standing on it.
More about this service
The defect is located on camera before a spade goes in the ground, so the hole is where the fault is, not three exploratory trenches across your garden looking for it.
More about this service
A new structural lining cured inside the existing pipe: cracks sealed, open joints closed and root entry stopped, with no excavation and nothing to reinstate afterwards.
More about this service
Standing water, silt, sludge and flood water vacuumed out and taken away by the same firm that cleared the drain, so there is no second contractor and no second wait.
More about this service
Nights, weekends and bank holidays on the same number, answered by the person who turns up: drain cleared, water vacuumed away and the cause explained before we leave.
More about this service
Pubs, kitchens, care homes, shops and managed estates kept running: work planned around your hours where it can be, and answered 24 hours a day when it cannot.
More about this serviceEastleigh sits between our Romsey base and Southampton, the area we cover most days of the week.
24 hours a day, seven days a week, including nights, weekends and bank holidays.
Fourteen years working railway terraces, post-war estates and Hampshire commercial units.
Fully insured, City & Guilds qualified, WJA qualified for jetting, and a CCTV survey before anything is priced.
Knowing the building stock tells us where the chambers will be and what the pipework is likely made of before we lift a cover.
The Victorian and Edwardian grid around the town centre shares long combined runs behind the houses. One blockage affects several properties, and access is often through narrow rear alleys. Camera work establishes whose section has failed.
Clay and early plastic pipework, now at the age where joints open, roots enter and silt settles at the low points. Repeat slow drainage on these estates is nearly always a pipe defect rather than user error.
Newer developments around the town centre and towards Allbrook have shared stacks and shallow plastic runs under parking areas. Managing agents call us for scheduled jetting and for one-off blockages in communal runs.
Estates around the airport, Chickenhall Lane and the works bring yard gullies, interceptors, forecourt channel drains and heavy silt loading. We wet-vacuum and remove waste in house rather than subcontracting it.
Flat ground, an old town core, a lot of hard standing and the Itchen close by, that combination produces a predictable set of faults.
Eastleigh is largely level, so surface water depends on gullies and channel drains being clear. Once a gully pot fills with grit and leaves, water sits on driveways and yards within minutes of heavy rain.
Long combined runs behind the older terraces collect wipes and grease into a plug, usually at a bend or chamber. Clearing it is straightforward; identifying which property is putting it down takes a camera.
Established estates with mature planting see roots enter open clay joints and knit into a mat. Root cutting and jetting clears the run, and relining prevents a repeat.
Takeaways, pubs and canteens across the town centre and industrial estates. Grease hardens on the pipe wall and narrows the bore. WJA-qualified jetting scours it back rather than punching a hole through the middle.
Front gardens converted to parking and rear extensions built over shallow pipework lead to cracked and dropped sections. A survey pinpoints the fault so a patch liner can often be used instead of excavation.
Tell us what is happening and where you are in Eastleigh. We will give you an honest answer about when we can be with you.
A CCTV camera goes down the run so the cause is found rather than guessed at. You are told what is there before anything is cleared, cut or dug.
We explain what the footage shows and what the options are, in plain English, before any work is priced or agreed.
Jetting, rodding, vacuuming or root cutting as the job requires, WJA-qualified jetting where the run needs scouring back to a clean pipe wall.
Where the pipe is damaged, we reline or patch from inside wherever it will take it. Excavation is a last resort, not a first move.
The drain is run and checked before we close the job off, the waste goes with us, and you are told what caused it so it is less likely to return.
Yes: the town centre, Boyatt Wood, Allbrook, Pilands Wood, the Bishopstoke and Fair Oak borders and the industrial estates near the airport. SO50 is standard territory for us.
We work out of Romsey and cross Eastleigh most working days, so it is one of the quicker parts of our patch to reach. Ring and we will give you an honest time based on where we actually are.
It depends on the cause, the access and how long the job takes, so we do not publish a flat rate. Explain the problem on the phone and we will tell you how we would approach it. Nothing is charged that you have not agreed to.
Yes. So Drainage Solutions runs 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Emergency drainage does not keep office hours, so neither do we.
A CCTV survey shows where the blockage or damage actually sits along the shared run, which is what determines responsibility. It is far more useful than neighbours guessing, and it means the right section gets repaired.
Regularly. We arrange access with tenants, work to agents' requirements and provide camera footage plus a clear account of what was found and what was done.
Yes: yard gullies, channel drains, interceptors and kitchen runs. We can work outside your operating hours so production or trading is not interrupted.
Usually. On flat ground like Eastleigh's it is normally a silted gully pot or a blocked outlet. Vacuuming the pot and jetting the outlet restores it, and a camera check confirms there is nothing worse further along.
Often, yes. Cracked or displaced sections can frequently be patch-lined or fully relined from inside the pipe. We only recommend excavation when the pipe is too badly collapsed to line.
Recurring blockages point to a defect: roots, a dropped joint, a crack or heavy scale catching debris. Clearing it fixes today; a survey finds out why it keeps happening.
From a backed-up terrace off Desborough Road to a silted yard gully on an industrial estate, the approach is the same: clear it, camera it, explain it.
Call for a straight answer today, or send a few details and photographs and we will come back to you.
A village on the Itchen with a high water table, mature estates and long-established gardens. We clear the blockage, vacuum out the silt and show you what the camera finds.
Large wooded plots, mature pines and decades-old clay pipework make root ingress the number one drainage problem here. We cut it out, jet the run clean and show you the pipe on camera.
Mature estates above the Itchen valley, older village property and a busy commercial strip. We clear the blockage, survey the run and tell you whether it will come back.
From terraced streets in Portswood and Shirley to city-centre flats, industrial units in the docks and family homes out towards Bitterne; we clear the blockage, then put a camera down to show you what caused it.
Modern estates, shared parking courts and one of Hampshire's busiest retail parks. We clear the blockage, camera the run and tell you whether it is your pipe, a shared run or something the builder left behind.
