Case Study: Blocked Shared Drain – Brockley (SE4)
Several flats in a converted house in Brockley were experiencing repeated toilet blockages and gurgling. Our engineer cleared the immediate blockage and carried out a CCTV survey of the shared rear drain. We identified displaced joints and root ingress at multiple points. After providing a report and quotation, we carried out localised lining to seal the defects, significantly reducing further issues.
Case Study: Restaurant Drainage – Deptford (SE8)
A restaurant in Deptford was suffering from frequent kitchen drain blockages and bad smells. We attended before opening, cleared heavy grease build-up using high-pressure water jetting and inspected the line with CCTV. We recommended a regular maintenance programme to keep the pipework clear and reduce the risk of disruption during service.
