Drain Unblocking in Andover
Sinks backing up, a toilet that will not flush, a gully overflowing into the garden — we clear it and show you what caused it before we leave.
Drain Unblocking for Andover properties
Older Andover properties tend to sit on clay pipework with mortar joints. It is perfectly serviceable until ground movement opens a joint, and from then on every blockage is the same blockage recurring rather than a run of bad luck.
Most blockages we attend in Andover are not mysteries. Fat and food waste narrowing a kitchen run, wet wipes catching on a joint, silt building up in a gully that has not been lifted in years, or roots finding a hairline crack in a clay pipe. The symptom is the same — water that will not go anywhere — but the fix is different each time, and guessing wastes your money.
So we look first. A rod set or a camera down the nearest chamber tells us where the standing water starts, which tells us the length of pipe we are dealing with. From there it is rodding for something soft and close, or high-pressure jetting for a compacted or greasy run further out.
Once the water is moving again we put the camera back down. If the blockage was a one-off you get told that and we leave you alone. If there is a broken section, a dropped joint or root ingress holding debris in place, you get to see it on screen and we talk through what fixing it properly would involve. No pressure either way.

Method
Drain Unblocking in Andover, step by step
You call
You speak to someone who does this job, not a script reader. We ask what is backing up and where, so the van turns up with the right kit on board.
We find it
Chambers lifted, water level checked, camera down where it helps. We work out where the blockage actually sits before anything is switched on.
We clear it
Rods for the short, soft stuff. Jetting at controlled pressure for compacted grease, silt or root matter further down the run.
We prove it
Taps run, chambers checked, camera back down the cleared line. You see the pipe flowing before we pack away.
