Autumn brings heavier rainfall to Aldershot, and blocked drains become more common as the season changes. At Phil’s Drainage Services, we unblock and repair drains for homeowners and businesses across Aldershot. We respond quickly and resolve most drainage problems on a single visit.
Why Blocked Drains Are Common in Autumn
The change in season brings several conditions that increase the risk of blocked drains. Fallen leaves gather at drain covers and gullies, restricting water flow. Ground movement after a dry summer can also shift pipework slightly, creating points where debris collects. Heavier rain then pushes larger volumes of water through drainage systems that may already have a partial blockage.
Addressing a blocked drain early prevents more serious problems. Left untreated, blockages can cause drain flooding, structural damage to pipework, and unpleasant odours around your property.
Our Blocked Drain Service in Aldershot
We carry out blocked drain clearance across Aldershot for both domestic and commercial customers. Our team uses high-pressure water jetting to break down blockages and flush your drainage system clean. We also use CCTV drain surveys where needed to identify the exact location and cause of a blockage.
In addition, we check for any underlying issues such as root ingress, collapsed sections, or displaced joints that may have contributed to the problem. We explain our findings clearly and advise on the best course of action before any further work begins.
Common Causes of Autumn Drain Blockages
Several causes account for most blocked drain callouts during the autumn months. Leaves and organic debris are the most common culprit, particularly in properties with trees nearby. Fat, grease, and food waste in kitchen drains also build up over time and become more noticeable when water flow slows. Tree root ingress is another common cause, as roots seek moisture during drier periods and then expand as rainfall returns.
Our team has experience dealing with all of these causes. We carry the equipment to resolve them on site and leave your drainage system flowing freely.
