Case Study: Blocked Drain in Limehouse (E14)
A riverside flat in Limehouse experienced repeated foul smells and slow draining in the kitchen. We attended, cleared a fat and food waste blockage from the line and carried out a short CCTV survey. The pipework was found to be in good condition, and the customer was given advice on preventing future build-ups in a busy shared stack system.
Case Study: CCTV Survey for Extension - Walthamstow (E17)
A homeowner in Walthamstow was planning a rear extension and needed to confirm the location and condition of the existing drains. We traced and surveyed the system, providing a clear plan and report for their architect and building control. Minor defects were identified and repaired before the building work started, avoiding later disruption.
