Soil Stack Re-Routed With New Rodding Access in Hampshire

Repeated blockages in a narrow side alley were caused by a sharp shallow bend with no access point, so we re-routed the pipework and fitted a rodding access.

Completed June 2026

Concrete path broken out beside a house showing the old soil pipe bend
Before — The original sharp bend under the path, exposed after breaking out the concrete
New black soil stack with rodding access fitted and the path re-concreted
After — Swept connection and new rodding access with the path re-concreted

The problem

The homeowner had repeated blockages in a narrow alley between two houses with no way to rod the pipe without lifting the concrete each time.

What we found on site

The stack turned sharply into a shallow bend under the path, catching debris. There was no access fitting anywhere on the run.

Work completed

We broke out a small section of concrete, replaced the sharp bend with a swept connection into new pipework, and installed an access fitting at low level on the stack. The path was then re-concreted and finished flush.

The result

The run now flows freely and can be rodded in minutes from the new access point, so any future maintenance is a ten-minute job rather than another excavation.
