Customer in Gosport
Great Service! Quick response! Well priced!
I have used Happy Drains Gosport a few times when the drains have been blocked. They are always quick to come out and they do a very good job. They left the area clean and tidy. They even email images of the issue with a full report which I personally find very helpful. They are well priced and I have no complaints at all. I would recommend them highly for anyone with a blocked drain.

Blocked drains
Very helpful telephone call with Laura on Friday resulting in Damien coming first thing on Saturday to successfully unblock my drains. They are a very pleasant company to deal with and I would have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone needing help in clearing their drains.
Customer in Petersfield
Very good customer service
Happy Drains undertook a pre house purchase drain survey. They were very efficient and sent the survey outcome report promptly. What impressed me the most was their willingness to explain some of their findings and provide detailed advice

Drain unblock
Great service from start to finish. Ordering the service was easy with the online form. The contact phone call early in the morning to confirm that Happy Drains rep would be with us between 0800-1200 was very comforting. The engineer himself was extremely professional and cleared the blockage very quickly. He then cleaned the whole system and ensured we had no other issues before he left. The cost of all this was very reasonable considering other comparable companies. Please pass on my thanks to all concerned. ?'??'??'?

Reliable service
I called Happy Drains to sort out a problem for my parents, who find it difficult to source and arrange services themselves. My communication with Happy Drains was efficient and understanding. I received information and return calls as promised, and the appointment took place as scheduled. Drainage for upstairs bathroom cleared, with photos supplied with the invoice and explanation of work completed. Very reasonable price. I recommend this company.
Customer in Alton
Kitchen Sink Drain Blockage
Telephoned Happy Drains early morning. Was told a technician would come to me late afternoon. He arrived at 4pm after telephoning to advise his arrival time. He asked where the blockage was and then got on with clearing it. No time wasted. Once the U bend had been taken apart the blockage was sucked out. Then the U bend was reassembled to show me the blockage had been cleared. All done very efficiently and effectively with very little mess being caused. I was very pleased and impressed.

I called on a Sunday and was called back by a plumber within a couple hours. He was helpful and could attend the next morning and called to say what time before. All sorted my sink has never worked so well
Customer in Southampton
Toilet drain unblock
Very professional, despite it being very difficult to unblock as it was a very bad blockage from build up on old pipes. The man (unsure of his name) ensured that the drain was fully unblocked even though it took around an hour and a half. Very reasonable price given the difficulty of the job, there is absolutely nothing I could fault him on.

Smarter than a standard jet vac tanker as it is optimised for Southampton industrial and urban site needs.
The vacuum tanker jetter has a combined 4m³ tank which has a moveable partition to offer maximum optimisation between waste and water.

A phenomenal jetting pressure is 160 Bar or 2300 psi and the full-scale industrial vacuum suction pulls waste through the 4-inch 30m hose to cleans and clear pipes to 450mm in diameter.
Our units can be optimised for places that standard combination units struggle with, notably on Southampton building and industrial sites as well as height-restricted sites around Hampshire.

The main drain from bathroom blocked. Backed up to kitchen drain.
"This was my 87 yr old mother's house. We lifted the manhole cover thinking maybe we could unblock it, but it was full. So any water drainage was just overflowing. Euch!! A neighbour recommended Happy Drains. Phoned them about 9.30 Saturday morning. They were with her by 6. They kept in contact all day to let us know the expected arrival time. Super friendly, excellent communication, good price. Great service, especially for my elderly mum. Thankyou"

The plumbing is not straightforward but he saw the issue and cleared the blockage very quickly without wasting time. He was very thorough and cleaned up afterwards. My sink now drains faster than it has in years and I am very happy. I was told exactly how much it would cost beforehand, so no hidden extras, plus the engineer offered a 28 day call back for free if the issue wasn't resolved. "

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.

Drain clearing
"Cleared the blocked pipe and flushed through cleaned around the drain, helpful and pleasant,would certainly recommend."
Unblock an outside pipe
"Unfortunately the pipe was blocked with concrete which appears to have happened when the garden fence was erected. However, the tradesman wrote the reason it was blocked on the invoice which helped when I contacted the tradesmen who erected the fence."
Friendly knowledgeable service
"We were very happy with the work Happy Drains did for us - friendly and knowledgeable and sorted the problem"
