Christchurch sits where the Avon meets the Stour. This keeps the water table high and raises flood risk through the seasons. Because our team knows these conditions well, we restore drainage across the town and nearby villages.
Tell us the symptoms through our quick online form, since details like slow drainage, gurgling, or bad smells help us prepare. We then send a local engineer to your Christchurch property.
Your engineer checks all access points first. Where needed, they use a CCTV drain camera to find the exact blockage location and cause.
We remove the obstruction using high-pressure jetting, rodding, or cutting tools, whichever suits the blockage. Afterwards, we flush the line clean.
We run water through every affected fixture and check the line. This confirms full flow is restored, with no secondary issues.
You get a summary of what caused the blockage, along with steps to prevent it recurring. These are tailored to your Christchurch property type.
We factor in flood risk and soil type when we look at a blocked drain here. Our team picks a clearing method that suits your pipe type and the ground around it. This way, we clear the blockage well without causing extra hassle.
Local tip: Homes near the Stour or Avon in a flood-risk area should check their drains every year. Floods push silt into pipe joints, and this silt builds up slowly over time. As a result, your drains carry less water bit by bit.
Yes. Our engineers are based across Poole and the surrounding Dorset area and cover Christchurch. We prioritise urgent requests, since flooding or sewage backup needs quick attention.

Common causes in Christchurch include silt and sediment infiltration near the rivers avon and stour and root intrusion from riverside woodland and mature garden vegetation. Properties such as period town-centre cottages, Victorian and Edwardian semis, modern riverside developments, and coastal bungalows can be particularly susceptible due to ageing pipework and mature vegetation.
