Pompicity ~ Unblock Drains Portsmouth

Blocked drains.

Drains are pipes, which carry waste and surface water from one or more houses. When one drain meets another, it becomes a sewer. These are not the same as the gullies or grids that can be found in the road to take water off of the road.

Drains can become blocked because:

They are in poor physical condition and normal contents are not being cleared.

They may be in satisfactory condition but have been abused by flushing away disposable nappies or other items such as plastic bags that should never be placed into the sewerage system.

Excessive disposal of cooking fats and oils, along with other domestic products and DIY materials such as plaster, can cause blockage of the pipe work.

Tree roots entering a broken drain can cause damage leading to problems.
