Drain Repair in Woking
Southern Drainage & Water Ltd is a trusted local drainage company providing a range of services across Woking, including CCTV drain surveys, drain repairs, pitched fibre repairs, and the clearing of blocked drains.
Drains: Homes vs. Businesses – What’s the Difference?
Our technicians help homeowners and businesses in and around Woking tackle everything from persistent blocked drains to structural pipe damage — but the solutions aren’t always the same. Domestic and commercial drainage systems serve different demands, and each comes with its own challenges. That’s why it’s important to choose a drainage company like Southern Drainage & Water Ltd, which adapts its approach to drain repair, CCTV drain surveys, blocked drains and pitched fibre repairs, ensuring speedy, lasting results.
Key Differences Between Domestic & Commercial Drainage Systems
Domestic systems usually handle predictable volumes and simpler pipe networks. In contrast, commercial sites in and around Woking often face heavier use, more complex infrastructure, and stricter compliance regulations. Here’s a breakdown of how these environments differ:
- Drainage Load: Businesses experience high daily usage, especially hospitality venues, schools, and gyms.
- Access Points: Commercial drains often involve manholes, pump chambers, grease traps and interceptor tanks.
- Pipe Size & Layout: Commercial sites use larger-diameter pipes and intricate drainage layouts.
- Emergency Risk: A blocked drain at home is unpleasant — but at a business, it can halt operations entirely.
Both still suffer from the same classic issues: blocked drains, ageing pipes needing pitched fibre repairs, and underground faults that require more traditional, excavation-led drain repair.
Common Domestic Drainage Problems in Woking
In homes across Woking, we most often deal with:
- Kitchen sinks clogged with food or grease
- Bathroom blockages from wipes, hair and soap scum
- Gully blockages due to leaf debris or garden runoff
- Slow draining showers and toilets
- Structural cracks in older pipes, especially pitched fibre
Homeowners tend to call a drainage company when issues become visible, but bringing in Southern Drainage & Water Ltd for regular maintenance could help them avoid the mess altogether. For example, a proactive CCTV drain survey helps pinpoint hidden problems before they become costly to put right.
Commercial Drainage Issues in Woking
Commercial properties face higher risk due to scale and complexity. Southern Drainage & Water supports a wide range of business clients with:
- Overflowing toilets in high-traffic buildings
- Grease and fatbergs in restaurant kitchens
- Repeated blockages from poor waste management
- Flooding in car parks or basements
- Cracked or deformed pitched fibre pipes under pressure
- Urgent, out-of-hours drain repairs to keep operations going
Here’s why working with a professional drainage company like our own is essential:
- We understand local Woking regulations and safety standards.
- Our team can perform scheduled or emergency CCTV drain survey work.

- We tailor solutions to the size and scale of your operation.
How a CCTV Drain Survey Can Support Both Sectors
Whether you’re a homeowner or business owner in Woking, a CCTV drain survey is the best way to understand what’s happening underground. These camera-based inspections allow Southern Drainage & Water to:
- Identify blockages quickly
- Detect damage, cracks or deformation
- Map drainage systems for future maintenance
- Spot early signs of pitched fibre deterioration
- Provide evidence for insurance or regulatory purposes
Domestic clients benefit from the peace of mind, while commercial clients gain documentation, planning support, and compliance.
