Case Study: Office Block Drainage - Near Moorgate (EC2)

A multi-storey office building near Moorgate experienced repeated toilet blockages across several floors. Our team attended early in the morning, cleared the immediate blockages and carried out CCTV surveys on the main stacks and horizontal runs. We identified sections of pipe with scale build-up and partial collapses, and agreed a programme of cleaning, repairs and lining to restore long-term reliability.

Case Study: Basement Flooding - City of London (EC3)

Following heavy rainfall, a plant room basement near Fenchurch Street flooded due to overwhelmed and partially blocked drainage. Our vacuum tanker attended, removed standing water and cleared the affected pipework. A subsequent CCTV survey highlighted root ingress and damaged pipe sections, which were then lined to reduce the risk of future flooding.
