1st Porter Call provides emergency drain clearance, CCTV drain surveys, high pressure jetting and plumbing repairs across Southampton. We help homeowners, landlords, letting agents and commercial customers with blocked drains, blocked toilets, outside drains backing up, bad smells and recurring drainage problems.
Our engineers attend drainage callouts across the city and nearby areas including Portswood, Bitterne, Shirley, Bassett, Woolston, Swaythling, Millbrook, Redbridge, Totton and Hedge End. If you have an urgent blockage, calling is the quickest way to confirm availability and the likely next step.
Southampton drainage problems can range from a blocked kitchen sink or toilet to an overflowing gully, blocked shared run or external drain that will not clear with basic rods. Common causes include fat, wipes, food waste, hair, silt, scale, leaves and root ingress.
Where appropriate, we use high pressure drain jetting or micro-jetting to clear blockages and restore flow with minimum disruption. There is no separate call-out fee, and major credit and debit cards are accepted.
If a blockage keeps returning, a CCTV drain survey can inspect the pipework and show what is happening underground. Camera surveys can identify cracked pipes, displaced joints, collapsed sections, scale build-up, root damage, poor connections and other defects that are not visible from the surface.
CCTV surveys are also useful before buying a property, especially older homes, properties with extensions, homes near mature trees, or buildings where previous drainage issues have been reported.
Drainage emergencies need clear advice and the right equipment. We work on internal and external drainage, including blocked toilets, baths, sinks, gullies, manholes and shared pipework. We also help with emergency plumbing repairs where leaks, burst pipes or faulty fittings are part of the problem.
