Roots clogging up drains is one of the most common problems Drainflow engineers encounter, especially in rural locations. So when we were called out to Barton-le-Clay to investigate a blocked drain on the industrial estate, we guessed what the problem would be. Tree roots are attracted to the moisture running through pipes and push through joints or cracks to access it.
When our drains get blocked, what we want is an immediate solution, but that’s not always possible. Sometimes the blockage is located beyond your pipes, in the drainage system that removes the waste from your home. When this is the case, a CCTV drain survey is used to locate the blockage prior to drain clearance. In this blog, we take a look at how CCTV drain inspections in Bedford are carried out by the Drainflow team.
Drainflow engineers don’t often get to do glamour, so a job at the iconic location of Wembley Park is one to be celebrated. OK, we weren’t in the stadium, but the stunning 133 metre Wembley arch was in our eyeline from start to finish!
Where there’s a drain blockage, high pressure drain jetting is an effective way to clear the obstruction fast. Drainflow was asked to carry out this job on foul and storm drainage pipes at St Ann’s Hospital, North London.
Suppose you have a smelly sink, or a blocked toilet. A quick call to your Drainflow drain clearance specialist would normally ensure a quick resolution to the problem. But not always. Drains are complex systems and sometimes it’s necessary to investigate deep in the drainage system in order to discover the source of the blockage. It’s in these circumstances that we use a CCTV drain survey.
