Blocked Sinks across Southampton
In Southampton’s older homes, kitchen sinks often drain to an open gully at the back of the house, which collects grease over time. When the sink blocks, the problem may be in the waste pipe, the gully or the drain beyond it. Clearing the whole route is what stops it happening again next month.
In flats and shared houses, several sinks may share one waste pipe or stack. If your sink backs up when someone else uses theirs, the blockage is in the shared pipe.
