Gosport drainage and leak detection

Gosport sits on a peninsula bounded by Portsmouth Harbour to the east and the Solent to the south – a geography that shapes almost every drainage and leak-detection job we take on here. Former Ministry of Defence housing is not a footnote in PO12 and PO13; it is the dominant property type across Bridgemary and much of central Gosport, and those blocks were built with shared drainage runs designed to serve entire terraces from a single inspection chamber. Identifying which property owns which section of pipe, and whether a blockage or collapse sits in a private or adopted length, requires systematic CCTV work before any other decision is made.

Salt air and very hard water

Portsmouth Water supplies the borough from a chalk aquifer, delivering water that runs between 290 and 330 ppm CaCO3 – firmly in the very hard category. That hardness deposits scale inside supply pipes and on valve seatings at a rate that most of Hampshire's inland districts never see. Overlay that with persistent salt-laden air off Stokes Bay and the Lee-on-the-Solent seafront, and the corrosion picture becomes particular to this peninsula: fittings that might last thirty years inland can show significant degradation in fifteen here.

Across Gosport, Bridgemary, Stubbington and Lee-on-the-Solent we offer two services: drainage surveys and remediation, and leak detection. Visits are scheduled one to two working days ahead with an on-site window of 9am to 5pm. There is no callout fee; a fixed price is confirmed after the initial survey. See /pricing for the full fee structure.
