A lot of solutions in life have been designed to give us convenience.

😔 Sadly, what's convenient isn't always good for pipes and drains.

Take these common myths for example. How many did you believe? ⬇️

Myth 1 - You can flush flushable wipes.
❌ Flushable wipes are not safe to flush because they don't break down and can cause blockages.

Myth 2 - It's safe to clear blockages with liquid drain cleaners.
❌ Chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes and the materials around sinks, bathtubs, and toilets.

Myth 3 - Plumbing systems don't need maintenance.
❌ Plumbing systems need regular maintenance and repair, especially for small problems.

Myth 4 - All plumbers are equal.
❌ Not all plumbers have the same training and expertise.

As well as dealing with emergencies, we can help with regular drainage maintenance to keep your drains working effectively.

Whatever you need, we're here to help. We cover a 50-mile radius from our HQ in Fleet.

Before you think of DIY solutions for your blocked drain, take a scroll through these common mistakes to avoid. ⬇️

❌ Poking the blockage with a hanger or sticks - you could cause damage to the pipes or move the blockage further down!

❌ Using harsh chemicals - this could be a science experiment gone wrong damaging the pipes as well as harming you!

❌ Using the garden hose - the reality is the water pressure won't be high enough to make a difference, and you could end up with some localised flooding!

✅ Prior to discovering a blockage, the best advice is not to ignore the small problems. They are the mini warning signs that there's something to fix.

Are you guilty of any of those mistakes?!

Did You Know? Bad smells coming from your drains aren’t just unpleasant, they’re often a warning sign of a deeper issue.

Foul odours can be caused by a build-up of food, grease, or debris… but sometimes they signal blocked or broken pipes that need urgent attention. If you’ve noticed a persistent smell coming from your sink, shower, or outside drain, don’t ignore it, it could save you from a much bigger (and smellier) problem later on.

Let our team handle it... fast, clean, and with no fuss.

As the weather warms up and you’re planning your spring and summer garden, it’s important to consider what’s happening beneath the soil.

While you're planting your new trees and shrubs, be aware that the roots of nearby plants can seek out moisture and nutrients – unfortunately, your pipes might be in their path!

💡What is Drain Root Intrusion? - Drain root intrusion happens when tree roots grow into your drains and sewer pipes, looking for water. Once they find their way inside through cracks or joints, they begin to grow and spread, leading to severe blockages that disrupt water flow in and out of your home. Over time, this can cause costly damage and clogs.

At Phil’s Drainage Services, we’re here to help you stay ahead of root intrusion before it becomes a bigger issue. Whether you need an inspection or a fast, effective solution, you can count on us to keep things flowing smoothly.

Do you ever worry about a rogue tradesman arriving at your door?

Here's some top tips to use to check that a tradesman is genuine:

✅ Use a tradesman website like Checkatrade. These platforms put those in the trade through vigorous checks and screening processes to validate who they are and what they do - doing some of the background checks for you.

🎖️ Check their trade association memberships. You'll find that legitimate trades people are members of at least one established and reputable trade association., and you can reference that membership on the website.

❓ Ask for references. Speak to people from previous jobs and ask about the quality of work, timelines, and satisfaction.

👍 Ask friends and family for recommendations. They are a trusted source who can vouch for whetehr this tradesman is any good!

⭐ Check recent online reviews. These can also give you insight into what it's like to work with this tradesman.

At Phil's Drainage Services, we're a proud member of Checkatrade. Take a look at our reviews here: https://www.checkatrade.com/trades/philsdrainageservices

Sometimes the root cause really is roots...🌳

At a home in Hartley Wintney, we discovered 100% root ingress inside the rainwater pipe. After a full excavation, we removed the roots, replaced the pipework, and installed a new gully connected to a traditional brick soakaway.

✅ 1 full excavation
✅ 1 CCTV survey
✅ 100% blockage
✅ 1 successful outcome

We left the site reinstated, protected against future regrowth, and fully flowing again.

If your garden drains are misbehaving, give us a call!
