CCTV Drain Survey for Wheatley Homes, Henlow
The Drainflow team recently paid a visit to the attractive village of Henlow between Biggleswade and Hitchin. Our client, Wheatley Homes, asked us to carry out drain jetting and a CCTV drain survey in the new Victoria Cross housing development in preparation for local water authority adoption of the foul and storm drainage system.
Storm Drainage
This is also known as surface water drainage. Storm drainage collects the water from roads, gutters, roofs, patios, and driveways. The water that is collected is free from household waste, and so it can run off into watercourses, and has no need to be treated in the sewers.
Foul Water Drainage
This is the waste that comes from bathrooms, kitchen, and utilities. The foul water drainage system collects it and transports it to the sewers where the water is treated. Storm and foul water drains obviously need to be kept separate in order to eliminate the risk of pollution.
