Case Study: Shared Drain Repairs - Terraced Properties in Brixton (SW2)
Several terraced houses in Brixton were experiencing recurring blockages in their rear drains. Our CCTV survey identified root ingress and cracked pipework in a shared section running behind the properties. We proposed a programme of cleaning, root cutting and drain lining, which was agreed between neighbours. The shared line was restored to good condition, significantly reducing future blockages.
Case Study: Blocked Restaurant Drain - Greenwich (SE10)
A restaurant in Greenwich called with an urgent blockage affecting both the kitchen and customer toilets. Our engineer attended the same day, cleared a build-up of grease and waste from the internal pipework and carried out a CCTV check of the external run. Recommendations were made for regular maintenance to prevent future disruption during busy periods.

- Root ingress into older clay drains
