Case Study: Blocked Restaurant Drains – Bermondsey (SE1)
A restaurant near Bermondsey Street reported recurring kitchen drain blockages and bad smells. Our engineer attended early in the morning, cleared heavy grease deposits from the internal pipework and external line using high-pressure water jetting, and carried out a CCTV survey to check the condition of the pipework. We recommended a regular maintenance schedule to reduce the risk of future disruption during service.
Case Study: Shared Drain Survey – Dulwich (SE21)
Several neighbouring properties in Dulwich were experiencing frequent blockages in a shared garden drain. We completed a CCTV survey of the shared run, identified root ingress and localised damage, and provided a report and quotation for lining. Once lining was completed, the shared drain returned to normal operation, and emergency call-outs dropped significantly.
Southwark Drainage Challenges
Drainage in Southwark can be affected by older clay sewers, tree roots, shared lines and historic alterations to properties and extensions. Our local experience helps us identify the most practical way to resolve issues.
- Root ingress into older clay drains
- Misaligned joints and displaced sections
- Shared drains behind terraces and blocks
- Basements and lower ground floors at higher flood risk
