Fast Relief When You Need Emergency Drain Clearance in Hertfordshire
Earlier today, we received an urgent call about a foul drain blockage at a residential site in Hemel Hempstead. We always treat a blockage like this as a priority that needs immediate action.
As you can see from our vehicles on-site, we arrived prepared for the worst-case scenario. Our high-capacity vacuum tanker was employed to manage the excess waste while our secondary van performed a CCTV drain survey. This approach helped us to identify the obstruction fast, clear it using high-pressure water jetting, and verify the structural integrity of the pipes straight away.
