Blocked Drains in Fleet

If you're experiencing blocked drains in Fleet, you're not alone. From the leafy roads of Elvetham Heath to the older properties near Fleet Pond and the High Street, drainage issues are a common concern. Alton Facility Services provides fast-response, expert drain unblocking throughout Fleet and the wider Hampshire area.

Why Drains Get Blocked in Fleet

Fleet’s mix of modern housing and older developments means a wide range of drainage challenges. Common culprits behind local blockages include:

• Clay Pipework: Many homes in older parts of Fleet, such as Pondtail and Crookham Road, still use clay drains that are vulnerable to cracking and root ingress.
• Tree Roots: With many green areas and mature gardens, tree roots frequently break into pipe joints — especially in Church Crookham and Ancells Farm.
• Grease Build-Up: Everyday cooking fats poured down sinks solidify in pipework, causing stubborn clogs that require drain jetting to remove.
• Wet Wipes & Sanitary Waste: These non-flushables often cause blockages in domestic systems, particularly in HMOs or family homes near Fleet Station.
• Surface Water Overload: In heavy rain, surface drains in areas like Elvetham Road can overflow, washing debris into the system and causing backups.

How to Prevent Drain Blockages in Fleet

Maintaining clear drains in Fleet is straightforward with a few consistent practices:

• Use sink strainers and drain guards to catch food, hair and debris
• Dispose of oils and fats in the bin, not the sink
• Avoid flushing wipes, nappies, or cotton buds — stick to the 3Ps (pee, poo, paper)
• Book routine jetting for high-risk properties or older drainage
• Schedule an annual CCTV drain survey to spot early problems before they escalate
