Case Study: Recurring Blocked Drain - Ilford (IG1)
A homeowner in Ilford reported repeat blockages and slow flow after heavy rain. We cleared the line and carried out a CCTV drain survey which identified root ingress at an older joint. We recommended root cutting and a localised lining repair to restore flow and reduce future call-outs.
Case Study: CCTV Survey for Refurbishment - Ilford Area (IG2)
A property owner planning refurbishment requested a CCTV drain survey to confirm drain routes and condition. We traced and surveyed the system, providing a clear report and plan. Minor defects were addressed before building work began, helping avoid disruption later.
