Stack pipes are, of course, used on a daily basis, so it’s common for them to become blocked if an excessive amount of waste is fed into them. Fat, oil, and grease can be incredibly damaging by sticking to the inside of these pipes and catching larger materials to form a blockage. To reduce the chance of your stack pipes becoming clogged, you must regulate the larger items that are fed into your system, including:
You’ll know if there is a blockage in your system if you have an unpleasant smell coming from your pipes, or you have resting water in your utilities. Once you’ve noticed these signs, it’s vital that you reach out to our local drainage team of experts in Winchester immediately. Without having your blocked drains cleaned as soon as possible, more serious issues can develop that could lead to costly repairs or even the disruptive replacement of pipes, and even require possible drain excavation services outside near your home.
When dealing with blocked stack pipes, the first step is to contact our team at No1 PHD. Our stack unblock experts in Winchester understand just how disruptive blocked soil stacks and waste pipes can be, so we aim to provide effective service as soon as possible. It is for this reason that we operate an emergency 24-hour drainage service for local clients.

Our team will have to carry out an inspection before starting the cleaning work to identify the exact location of your stack blockage. This process used to be both time-consuming and destructive, but thanks to our use of fibre-optic drain cameras, we can check inside your stack pipes and waste pipes quickly and efficiently. The live images provided by this camera will give us a better idea of the extent of the blockage and inform us as to what cleaning approach to take.
Upon identifying the source of the blockage, our staff will then employ the use of both drain rods and a high-pressure water jet cleaning equipment. Drain rods are fed into your pipes and allow us to push through more minor blockages that have built up. Our water jets, on the other hand, send a powerful stream of water through your system and blast through any blockages that are present. The latter will also smear away any fat, oil, or other sticky substances on the inner lining of your pipe.
