Blocked drainage in London
A blocked drain can cause significant damage to property if the problem persists. The drains that leave your home are usually your responsibility until they reach the public sewer. This means that if for any reason the drain fails to work correctly, you will have to pay for the repairs.
CCTV surveys in London
Due to advances in technology, the days have gone when drain installation engineers had to excavate to find out what was causing a drain to malfunction. Now, with the advent of CCTV survey equipment, the London drainage engineers can insert a camera into your drainage system and view the images in real time. Doing this, they can see if the drain has a simple blockage, if the drain is cracked or if the drain has collapsed.
Fixing drainage problems in London
When the London drainage engineers have all the information they need from the images taken, they can decide on a course of action to restore the drains waste carrying potential. If the drain is simply blocked, they can use drain jetting London to remove the clog. In this process, a jet of water at high pressure is sent down the drain to break up the offending blockage. If the pipe is found to be cracked or slightly deviated, a pipe liner repair can sometimes be performed. Here, a liner is blown into the pipe and sealed with epoxy resin. The liner fits snugly to the internal surface of the pipe and the waste carrying capacity is restored.
