Blocked Showers across Southampton
Many Southampton homes have had showers added over the years: in loft conversions, en-suites carved out of bedrooms, and extensions. These often have long, shallow waste runs to reach the soil stack, which makes them more likely to clog with hair and soap.
In flats and upstairs bathrooms, a blocked shower that overflows can quickly damage the ceiling below, so it is worth acting when you first notice water sitting in the tray.
