1st time customer - Excellent experience

"1st time using Checkatrade. Polite and efficient experience from beginning to end, with clear/ transparent pricing + quick availability of plumber. I chose to use Happy Drains... who were available same day to unblock kitchen sink. Damian from Happy Drains was friendly and cheerful, but always polite and professional and persistent with unblocking drain. Damian had a powerful acqua vac that was required to unblock the drain. Not an easy job, but Damian persisted and determined to get job done. No surprises with charges...exactly as quoted and very reasonable. Recommended."

Southampton Gully Emptying and Clearance

Drains and gullies at ground level throughout Hampshire require planned maintenance and cleaning. The solids carried by water through Southampton drainage systems are caught in the trapped gullies. These are designed specifically to do this to stop these solids passing through into Hampshire main drain system. To ensure that the system is in proper working order, specialist regular gully emptying is best practice. Call us for highly competitive rates in Southampton and beyond.

Southampton blocked drains are caused by all sorts of detritus, the restricted efficient free flow of water and leads to flooding. Our Southampton area vacuum tanker service will literally suck up waste from any Hampshire drain and then if required carry out high pressure water jetting to restore maximum flow.

Emergency Flood Removal across Hampshire

Southampton Flood Relief Emergency – Vacuum tankers are the best method for immediate flood water support. Vacuum tankers suck water and associated debris via a 4” hose in to our tanker and we take the liquid waste away and dispose at a licensed site

De-silting and gully sucking in Southampton – Debris are deliberately trapped by designed to catch solids before they can get into and build up in the main drainage system . The settled debris caught in the gully pot should be periodically emptied. Failure of maintenance is one of the main reasons of localised flooding in Hampshire. We remove silt from gullies with our jet vac combination to return the gully and associated Southampton pipework back to a serviceable condition.

Large bore Hampshire drains and sewers need industrial sized Jetters – Jet-Vac combi units are designed to be up for the job. Smaller units are very inefficient and considerably more expensive when compared to a tanker jetting. Focused high volume of water under controlled pressures efficiently flush debris out of Southampton pipework and cleanse to restore maximum flow.

No water for jetting on your Southampton site? – Subject to permissions we can fill the jetting tank with clean water from a nominated metered hydrant and attend Hampshire sites to enable jetting and cleansing works to be undertaken. We can do this as often is required to complete any contract subject to permissions and licensing from the Southampton local water company.

Southampton Basement Flooding

Unfortunately, Southampton basement properties are susceptible to flooding, because they are simply at the lowest level and water only ever travels downhill!

Southampton basements are at risk from sewer leaks, storm drain overflows or surface water flooding caused by blockages, often without a moment’s notice.

Throughout Hampshire we offer a comprehensive emergency drainage service for all types of Southampton properties in the event of a flooding emergency.
