Toilets, sinks, kitchen waste, outside drains, gullies and inspection chambers across Farnborough's residential streets, plus larger drainage runs for the offices, labs and hangar-adjacent buildings around the business park. Soakaways and main drain connections come up regularly on the newer estates, and CCTV drain surveys help identify problems that aren't obvious from ground level, whether that's a domestic blockage or something affecting a commercial site.

Why Do Drains Get Blocked?
Farnborough sits on the same sandy Hampshire basin soil found across much of this part of the county, which usually drains without much fuss. This is because the pipework tends to be the weaker link rather than the ground itself. On the older interwar streets, root ingress from established trees and gradually displaced joints cause most of the trouble. Elsewhere, fat and grease from kitchens and wet wipes flushed away remain the most common culprits regardless of house age. On some of the business park’s newer commercial drainage, high water usage from labs and offices can also push older sections of pipe past capacity.
Kitchen habits
Fat, grease and food waste hardening inside the pipe.
Bathroom items
Wet wipes and sanitary products — even 'flushable' ones.
Nature
Tree roots, silt and leaves finding their way in.
Wear & tear
Scale build-up, cracks or old pipe materials failing.
Build issues
Renovation debris or pipes laid at the wrong gradient.
How We Fix It, Our 5-Step Process
- Call and rapid response Describe the problem and an engineer heads to your Farnborough address, usually the same day.
- On-site diagnosis The blockage gets assessed, with a CCTV drain survey used where the cause isn't obvious.
- Clearing the blockage Jetting, rodding or mechanical drain milling, chosen to suit the pipe and the problem found.
- Confirming the fix The engineer checks the drain is flowing freely and shows the evidence. Where appropriate, a 10-minute CCTV look-see is included at no charge. It's a quick pass with the camera to make sure the drain really is clear and to see whether there's an obvious fault behind the blockage. That's included with the unblocking work. A full CCTV drainage survey is a separate service using different camera equipment, with a proper report at the end.
- Reporting and next steps Where no-dig lining or a patch repair is needed, ASL explains this and provides a free estimate.
Case in Point: Emergency Blocked Drain near Farnborough
Recent Drainage Work in Farnborough
Late on a Sunday, a four-bedroom property in Crondall, near Farnborough, had a blocked drain running to its private sewage system. Our team, including the tanker, was on site before 8pm and had the drains clear and flowing within around six hours. But clearing the blockage wasn’t the end of it, we found an undersized pit and questions over where the system discharged, so we planned the permanent improvements properly rather than rushing them in an emergency. Read the full job on our Farnborough case study page.

FAQs
How quickly can you get to me in Farnborough?
Same-day response is the aim, with most blockages cleared within 30 minutes of the engineer arriving.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Farnborough?
It depends on the blockage type and equipment needed. As always a free, no-obligation quote will come first. There's no charge for calling us or for using the enquiry form.
Who is responsible for the drain, me or the water company?
Thames Water is generally responsible for the public sewer in Farnborough, while homeowners are responsible for pipework within their own boundary.
Do you work on commercial premises around the business park?
Yes. ASL regularly handles drainage for offices, labs and commercial units around Farnborough's business park, working around normal office hours where possible.
What is a CCTV drain survey, and do I need one?
It's a camera inspection inside the pipe that identifies the exact cause of a blockage, booked in as its own job with a report at the end. We can advise whether one is needed. Separately, when we clear a blockage we include a complimentary 10-minute look-see, which is a quick check that the drain is clear rather than a full survey.
Can you fix a drain without digging up my garden?
Often, yes, using no-dig lining or patch repair, depending on what the survey shows.
