Case Study: Repeated Blockages in Brixton (SW2)
A property in Brixton was experiencing regular toilet and drain blockages. Our engineer cleared the immediate blockage, then carried out a CCTV survey of the line. We found root ingress at several joints in the old clay pipe. After providing a report and quotation, we returned to remove roots, clean the line and install localised drain lining. Since then, the property has had no further issues.
Case Study: Office & Retail Drainage – Vauxhall (SE11)
A mixed-use building near Vauxhall had ongoing drainage problems affecting ground-floor retail units and offices above. We attended early in the morning to clear the blockage and then surveyed the shared drainage. Our report identified several sections of fractured pipework and build-up in horizontal runs. We agreed a programme of cleaning and repairs, scheduled outside peak trading hours to minimise disruption.
Lambeth Drainage Challenges
Drainage in Lambeth can be affected by older sewers, heavy usage in busy high streets and complex shared drainage in conversions and mansion blocks. Our local experience helps us choose practical, cost-effective solutions.
- Older clay pipework with cracks and displaced joints
- Root ingress from street trees and garden planting
- Shared drains at the rear of terraces and blocks
- Basements and lower ground floors at greater risk from flooding
