A Harnham drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Salisbury drainage engineers covering Harnham. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
Harnham is the part of Salisbury most visitors photograph without knowing its name, the postcard view of the cathedral across the water meadows is from this side of the river. It sits just over the Avon from the city centre, five minutes from base, climbing from riverside cottages and Victorian terraces near the Town Path to 1930s semis and newer closes up towards the hospital. We're in SP1 here most weeks, and blocked toilets top the list.
The Old Mill at the end of the Town Path tells you the important thing about Harnham: water sits close to the surface here. We come in over Harnham Bridge, or round on Netherhampton Road for the western side. Low-lying drains near the meadows work against a high water table, so a partial blockage that would drain slowly elsewhere backs up fast here. Don't leave one to see how it goes, it won't.

Harnham FAQ
It can do. When the meadows are wet and the river's up, the ground around low-lying pipework is saturated, so anything already part-blocked backs up much faster, and older clay runs with worn joints can let groundwater in. If your drains only misbehave in wet spells, that's a clue worth mentioning on the phone. A camera survey tells us whether you've got a blockage, a defect letting water in, or just a drain working below the water line.
