Acton is a key development zone for commercial builds like this new data centre in West London, so construction moves fast, but aggregate, silt, and site washings go straight into fresh drainage runs during construction leaving a mess underground. Before the data centre can go live, therefore, those pipes need to run clear and show no structural faults. Drainflow was contracted to carry out a pre-handover clean and survey.
Wednesday’s World Cup semi-final will test the nerves of every England supporter in Bedfordshire. Not only that; it’ll be testing the capacity of packed pubs where crowds of football fans are gathering to enjoy the match. To prevent a matchday crisis, the team at The Compasses in Greenfield called Drainflow in to handle the heavy lifting (someone’s got to do it!).
If you’re a residential property owner, dealing with root intrusion is one of the most frustrating drainage issues out there. And what makes things worse is that the online information on this subject can be misleading. When it comes to removing roots from drain pipes, there’s lots of sites telling you how to blast the roots away, but they don’t tell you how to stop them from coming back thicker and stronger.
A main drain blockage is usually a large plug of fat and mineral scale. A plunger might move the blockage by a few inches, but it won’t clear it. Chemical unblockers are made for minor blockages, not dense lumps of fat. Only drain jetting services are designed to do the job properly.
If you own a house or manage a business in Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, or Buckinghamshire, you’ve probably seen lots of basic advice on preventative maintenance for drains.
