Blocked Drains in Hassocks — Fast, Local Drain Clearance

Hassocks is a commuter village at the foot of the South Downs, close to the Clayton windmills and Ditchling Beacon. Several things about the area put pressure on local drainage:

• Chalk-and-clay boundary: the village straddles the point where free-draining chalk meets heavier clay, and the clay ground slows water away, so blockages show up faster when a pipe is partly obstructed.
• Run-off from the Downs: heavy rain sheds off the South Downs into the village, washing silt, leaves and grit into gullies and surface drains that then clog.
• 20th-century commuter estates: much of Hassocks grew up around the railway as commuter and estate housing, and those runs of pipework carry a heavy daily load.
• Older cottages with shared drains: some of the older properties share drainage runs, so a single blockage can affect more than one home.

Knowing the local ground and housing mix means we get to the likely cause quickly rather than guessing.

• Blocked toilets
• Blocked sinks, basins and baths
• Kitchen wastes clogged with fat and grease
• Blocked outside gullies and yard drains
• Blocked manholes and inspection chambers
• Blocked soil and foul pipes
• Blocked shared and estate drainage runs
• Slow-draining pipes and recurring backups

We clear these with drain rods, high-pressure jetting and plunging.
