Domestic Drainage in Croydon

Case Study: Blocked Stack in Croydon (CR0)
A multi-storey block near East Croydon station experienced toilet blockages affecting several floors. Our engineer attended, cleared the stack using mechanical equipment and high-pressure water jetting, then carried out a CCTV inspection. We identified a build-up and partial obstruction in a horizontal run, which was thoroughly cleaned to restore full flow and reduce the risk of repeat incidents.
Case Study: Root-Damaged Drain – Purley (CR8)
A property in Purley had ongoing drainage issues and occasional foul smells in the garden. After unblocking the line, we surveyed the drain with CCTV and found significant root ingress at multiple joints. We carried out root cutting, deep cleaning and installed localised liners to seal the affected sections, resolving the problem without full excavation.
Croydon Drainage Challenges

- Older clay drains with cracks and displaced joints
- Root ingress from mature trees and boundary planting
- Shared drainage runs serving multiple properties
- Surface water and foul drainage interactions on sloping sites
