Drain Unblocking Experts Serving Portsmouth
Professional drain unblocking means using the correct method for the cause — not just punching a hole through the blockage and leaving the debris behind. A&B Drainage Solutions provides professional drain unblocking in Portsmouth, backed by over 33 years' experience and fully equipped vans on every job. Our line is answered around the clock, and we typically reach Portsmouth addresses quickly — day or night.
Our engineers choose between high-pressure jetting, electro-mechanical coring, and manual rodding based on what the blockage actually is, so it's cleared right first time. Portsmouth sits in Hampshire, where the public sewers are managed by Southern Water — if a problem turns out to be on the public side, we'll tell you honestly and point you in the right direction. Portsmouth's low-lying, densely built layout makes fast blockage clearance and CCTV diagnosis particularly important.

Good to Know Locally
Drain Unblocking in Portsmouth: What to Know
Your drain or the sewer?
If neighbours' drains are backing up too, the blockage is probably in a shared sewer. In Portsmouth those belong to Southern Water, which clears them free of charge. If only your property is affected, it's usually your own drain.
Blocked gully in the road?
Road gullies and surface water on public roads in Portsmouth are the responsibility of Portsmouth City Council. Report those to them directly.

Who's Responsible for Your Drain in Portsmouth?
Your own drain
Pipes that serve only your property and sit inside your boundary are yours to maintain. Many home insurance policies cover accidental damage to them.
Shared drains & public sewers
Since October 2011, drains shared with neighbours or running beyond your boundary are usually public sewers. In Portsmouth these belong to Southern Water, so faults on them can be reported to Southern Water free of charge.
Road drains & gullies
Portsmouth City Council is responsible for road gullies and surface water on public roads in Portsmouth.
New drains, soakaways & septic tanks
New drainage work needs Building Regulations approval through Portsmouth City Council building control or a registered building control approver. Septic tanks and treatment plants must also meet the Environment Agency's general binding rules.
