Common Drain Issues in South London
In South London, the drainage systems often face challenges due to the area's unique history and soil conditions. Many properties have older underground pipes that are susceptible to damage from natural wear and environmental factors. Identifying these problems early is essential to avoid costly repairs and disruption. Here are the most common issues we find during CCTV drain surveys in South London:
Our experienced team is available for emergency callouts across South London when you need us most. Our fully equipped vehicles carry everything needed to tackle any drainage issue on the first visit.
Cracked clay pipes
Many homes in South London were built during the post-war boom using clay pipework, which has deteriorated over time. These pipes are prone to cracks and collapses.
Ground movement
The area's mix of clay-heavy soil and older infrastructure means shifting ground often causes pipe misalignment or displacement.
Tree root intrusion
Mature trees lining residential streets often extend roots into small pipe cracks, causing severe blockages.
Collapsed drains
Ageing systems under driveways and gardens in South London frequently show collapsed sections, often only spotted during a CCTV survey.
Hidden leaks
Slow, underground leaks from faulty joints or cracked pipes can go unnoticed for months, until damp patches or bad smells become obvious indoors.
