Summer Drainage Tips for New Forest Homes
Summer brings sunshine, but also some unique drainage challenges. With dry spells followed by heavy summer downpours, your drainage system can quickly become overwhelmed if it's not maintained.
Top summer drainage tips:
Check for standing water or slow drainage after rain – this could indicate a blockage
Clean out gutters and downpipes to prepare for sudden summer storms
Ensure outdoor drains are clear of leaves, grass cuttings, and debris
Watch for bad odours from outdoor drains during hot weather (a sign of buildup)
Schedule a mid-year maintenance check to keep things running smoothly
Tip: Use a drain cover or guard to prevent garden debris from entering your drains after summer BBQs or garden maintenance

Tree Root Damage in New Forest Drains
Our region is rich in nature—and that means mature trees and deep root systems. Roots naturally search for moisture and often grow directly into cracked or poorly sealed pipes.
Signs of root damage include:
Recurring blockages
Slow-draining sinks or toilets
Gurgling noises
Bad smells outdoors
At Dynamic Drains, we use CCTV drain surveys to locate root intrusion and offer non-invasive solutions such as mechanical root cutting and pipe relining.
Don’t wait until your drains collapse – catch root problems early.
What a CCTV Drain Survey Can Reveal
Think of a CCTV drain survey as a health check for your drainage system.
It can uncover:
Hidden cracks or joint displacements
Collapsed or sagging pipes
Tree root intrusion
Build-ups of fat, scale, and foreign objects
Incorrect pipe installations
We provide full video reports and expert recommendations, perfect for:
New home buyers in the New Forest
Landlords managing older properties
Businesses looking to prevent drainage downtime
Bonus: It’s fast, mess-free, and often cheaper than digging!
