How Do I Know If My Drains Need Repair or Just Unblocking?

If your drains in Bournemouth, Poole, or Christchurch are slow, smelly, or backing up, you may wonder whether you need a simple unblocking or full drain repair. Knowing the difference can save you time, stress, and money.

🚩 Signs You Need Just Unblocking

• Water draining slowly in sinks, showers, or toilets.

• Bad smells from the kitchen or bathroom.

• One-off blockage that hasn’t happened before.

• Often caused by grease, wipes, or food debris.

👉 Solution: A professional high-pressure water jetting service can usually solve this quickly.

🚩 Signs You May Need Drain Repair

• Recurring blockages in the same place.

• Gurgling sounds from drains and pipes.

• Flooding in gardens or driveways.

• CCTV surveys show cracks, collapsed pipes, or tree roots.

👉 Solution: Drain re-lining or full drain repair in Bournemouth, Southbourne, or Wimborne may be necessary.
