1st Porter Call provides drain clearance, CCTV drain surveys, high pressure jetting and plumbing repairs in Bishop's Waltham and the villages around it. We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and businesses on blocked toilets, overflowing gullies, slow draining sinks, bad smells and burst pipes.
Bishop's Waltham is a mix of historic town centre properties and outlying homes on private drainage. Some of the older buildings around Brook Street and St Peter's Street have drain runs that have been altered several times over the years, which is why it is often worth putting a camera down before assuming where a pipe goes.
We cover Bishop's Waltham, Waltham Chase, Swanmore, Durley, Upham, Curdridge, Shedfield and Shirrell Heath, plus nearby Hedge End, Fair Oak and Winchester. Blockages here are commonly caused by fat, wipes, silt, scale and root ingress, and in the more rural properties by soakaways and private systems that have not been emptied or maintained.
Most jobs clear with rodding or high pressure jetting in a single visit. There is no separate call-out fee, and we will explain what we have found and what it needs before any further work.
Plenty of properties outside the town are not on mains drainage. If a septic tank or treatment plant backs up, the cause is often a full tank, a blocked outlet, or a soakaway that has silted up and stopped taking water away. We can clear and inspect the pipework and tell you whether the problem is the drain run or the system itself.
If you are buying a rural property here, a drainage survey is worth doing. Private systems carry ongoing legal obligations for the owner, and problems are expensive to discover after completion.
