Case Study: Blocked Kitchen Drain - Angel (N1)
A flat near Angel reported slow drainage and recurring smells from the kitchen sink. Our engineer attended, cleared the build-up and carried out a short CCTV check where access allowed. Flow was restored and the customer was given advice to reduce future issues in a shared stack.
Case Study: Shared Drain Issue - Highbury (N5)
Residents in a Highbury building experienced intermittent blockages affecting multiple flats. We cleared the affected section and carried out a CCTV drain survey to identify the cause. The inspection found build-up and a minor defect in a shared run. After cleaning and re-checking, normal flow returned and a maintenance schedule was recommended.
