Our 4-Step Drain Unblocking Process
We’ve refined our workflow over 25 years to ensure every job is handled with speed, precision and minimal disruption to your day.
1. Rapid Response Call Out
When you call Southampton Drainage on 02380 308 708, you speak directly to a drainage expert, not a generic call centre. We’ll assess the urgency of your situation and dispatch the nearest local engineer to your Southampton location immediately.
2. On-Site Diagnosis
Upon arrival, our engineers perform a visual inspection to locate the blockage. Whether it’s a blocked kitchen sink, an overflowing external gully or a main sewer pipe, we identify the root cause before we start work to ensure the most cost effective fix.
3. Clearance and Cleaning
Using high pressure water jetting (HPWJ) or specialised electro-mechanical rods, we clear the obstruction. We don’t just “poke a hole” through the blockage, we clean the pipe walls to remove fats, oils and scale, significantly reducing the risk of the problem returning.
4. Post Clearance Inspection and Report
Once the water is flowing freely, we perform a final check. For complex issues, we may recommend a CCTV Drain Survey to ensure there is no structural damage, such as root ingress or pipe collapses. We leave your site clean, tidy and fully functional.

Delighted with the service my parents have received. Craig was very professional and courteous, with excellent communication skills. Thank you
Terrific job done renewing our main sewer drain and replacing two manholes. A really professional service performed from start to finish. Thanks to Darrell, Jay and his son Charles, and Ben the engineer.
Absolutely amazing service for my dad. Craig (I think that was his name) was so kind and friendly and sorted the blocked drains despite restricted access, dreadful weather and all kinds of tree roots blocking the drain. I don’t think the drains had been seen to for about a hundred years. Exceptional service, attended in less than an hour and was so sweet to my auntie and dad. One million percent recommended. Thank you
Thank you for such professional service yesterday from beginning to end. Calm and helpful telephonist followed by our engineer, Darren, who resolved our issue in the awful weather conditions. A great company to work with.
Excellent service! I called the number and within the hour, Gerry had turned up on my doorstep. He was very knowledgable, professional and efficient. He sorted the problem and found another one fixed that quickly too! Would highly recommend.
Very Professional Drainage Company, Highly recommended. Beware of unreliable competitors.
Someone came out the following day and couldn’t have been more helpful. They explained what they were doing and what the problem was. Excellent service, would recommend.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does drain unblocking in Southampton cost?
Drainage costs vary depending on the severity of the blockage. At Southampton Drainage we believe in honest, transparent pricing with no hidden fees. We provide a clear quote before work begins, ensuring you get a fair local rate for a professional job.
How quickly can you respond to a drainage emergency?
We operate 24/7, 365 days a year. Because our engineers are based locally in Southampton, we typically aim to be on site within 60–90 minutes of your call to prevent further damage to your property.
Do I need a CCTV drain survey?
If you have recurring blockages, a CCTV survey is the best way to see what’s happening underground. It allows us to identify tree root ingress, structural cracks, or collapsed pipes without any unnecessary digging.

Yes. We provide professional emptying, servicing and maintenance for all types of off-mains drainage, including Klargester treatment plants, cesspits and septic tanks across the Southampton area.
