Blocked Drains in Fordingbridge: What the Avon Valley Ground Does to a Drain
Fordingbridge sits on the River Avon at the western edge of the New Forest, and the ground under it is not one thing. Gravels and alluvium run along the valley, with chalk broadly to the north and west and sands and clays towards the Forest, so what a trench meets can differ from one garden to the next. We also cover nearby Alderholt, Sandleheath, Breamore, Woodgreen and Godshill.
- Close to the river, gravel and alluvium can hold water, and after a wet spell groundwater can find a way into a cracked joint or a low chamber.
- Away from the river the ground can turn clayey or sandy in places, so the right method can change between neighbouring addresses.
- Low-lying plots are worth checking on the Environment Agency flood map, and a repair that avoids digging can count for most there.

Emergency Drain Unblocking in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireRing from Fordingbridge and we aim to be with you within 60 minutes. You pay for the work, not for us turning up.
Blocked Manholes in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireA chamber near the river can fill with groundwater after a wet spell, so we check whether it is a blockage or water coming in before we start.
Blocked Toilets in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireA toilet that keeps backing up after wet weather may have a fault in the run outside rather than in the pan, and we tell you which.
Blocked Sinks in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireGrease and hardened fat are the usual cause of a slow sink. We clear it, check it with drain dye and sanitise the area before we go.
Drain Smells in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireA smell that comes back after heavy rain can point to a chamber taking on water, so we trace the source before suggesting any work.
Drain Repairs in Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire
Drain Lining (CIPP) in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireWhere a dig would mean lifting a lawn or a drive in Fordingbridge, lining repairs the pipe from the inside, if the drain allows it.
Drain Patch Repair in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireWhen a camera survey finds one defective section, we price a patch repair first and you choose whether it is done now or booked in.
Collapsed Drain Repair in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireIn gravelly or clayey ground a collapse can be a wider job than it looks, so we survey first and explain the options before any digging.

Septic Tank Emptying in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireA property that is not on the mains sewer has a tank to look after, and we arrange the emptying and tell you the cost first.
Soakaway Installation in Dorset, Hampshire & WiltshireA soakaway only works where the ground drains, and where groundwater sits high in wet weather it may not, so we check the plot first.
Drainage Installation in Dorset, Hampshire & Wiltshire

The Worries People Have Before They Ring
Answered here, so nobody has to ask on the doorstep.
Will you leave a mess?
Every site is left cleaned, tidied and sanitised.
Will you dig up my garden or drive?
Not if the drain allows another way. Lining and patch lining repair a drain from the inside, and we tell you whether that suits yours before any work starts.
What if the bill ends up bigger than the quote?
The price we agree before we start is the price you pay, unless you approve extra work. Every charge is stated clearly up front.
Blocked Drains in Fordingbridge: Questions Locals Ask
What people in and around Fordingbridge want to know before they ring.
Do you cover Fordingbridge?
Yes. We are based in Ringwood and work across Dorset, Hampshire and Wiltshire, and we are over in Fordingbridge regularly. Call us and we aim to be with you within 60 minutes.
Can high water near the Avon cause drain problems?
It can. Near the river, gravel and alluvium can hold water, and after a wet spell groundwater can get into a cracked or displaced joint or stand in a low chamber. We check whether you have a blockage or water getting in. If a camera survey would settle it, we say so, tell you the cost first, and you decide. You then get the footage, photos and a full written report.
Do you do drain repairs in Fordingbridge without digging?
Where the drain allows it, yes: CIPP lining and patch lining repair it from the inside. Some faults, a collapse for example, still need excavation. Either way we survey first, explain the options and price them before any work, and you choose whether it is done now or booked in.
Can I get a price for drain unblocking in Fordingbridge before you come?
For most jobs, yes. Ring us and we give you the price, or our labour rate, before we set off. Quotes are free and there is no call-out fee. The price we agree is the price you pay, unless you approve extra work.
