In a busy city like Southampton, a blocked drain at your business premises can cause serious disruption.Restaurants, hotels, schools, and industrial sites rely on smooth drainage to operate safely and comply with health regulations.

A simple blockage can quickly lead to:

Flooding and property damage
Bad odours affecting customers
Health & safety violations
Downtime and loss of revenue

That’s why it’s essential to have a fast, reliable, 24-hour drainage partner.

💧 Common Causes of Blocked Commercial Drains

Commercial systems handle much higher volumes of waste than domestic drains, so they block more easily.Some of the most frequent causes include:

Grease and fat build-up from kitchens and catering facilities
Foreign objects like packaging or cleaning wipes
Heavy silt and debris in car parks and forecourts
Tree root intrusion around older underground systems
Collapsed or damaged pipework due to ground movement or age

🔧 How We Unblock Commercial Drains

At 24 Hour Drain Unblocking, our engineers use advanced equipment and techniques designed for large-scale systems:

High-pressure water jetting (HPWJ) to clear stubborn grease and debris
CCTV drain surveys to locate damage or collapsed sections
Mechanical rodding and root cutting for deep-rooted obstructions
Drain re-lining for long-term repair without excavation

We’ve worked with restaurants, retail parks, schools, offices, and industrial estates across Southampton, Eastleigh, and Totton, restoring full flow fast — day or night.
