Local knowledge
Golders Green housing, from a drainage engineer's side
Golders Green is characterised by larger detached and semi-detached homes from the Edwardian and 1930s eras, often set in sizeable, tree-filled gardens. These properties have extensive, sometimes complex, drainage runs. The very mature landscaping, while beautiful, is a significant factor in drainage issues, with root networks that can span considerable distances.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in Golders Green
01
Extensive Root Systems Blocking Drains
The large, mature trees in Golders Green gardens send out extensive root systems that can invade and completely clog long sections of drainage pipe. Removing these roots requires powerful jetting and often leads to discussions about permanent pipe protection or replacement.
02
Multiple Bathroom Blockages
Larger family homes often have several bathrooms added over the years. The combined flow, particularly from showers, can reveal inadequacies in the original pipe sizing, leading to slow drainage that affects multiple outlets simultaneously.
03
Blocked Yard Gullies
Older properties frequently have yard or patio gullies that take runoff from paved areas. These easily become filled with moss, leaves, and silt, overflowing during rain and potentially allowing water into basements or cellars.
04
Complex Drainage Runs
The size of plots means drainage runs can be long and may have multiple bends or direction changes before reaching the sewer. These features create natural collection points for debris and make traditional rodding less effective, favouring high-pressure water jetting.
Three methods, one visit
High-pressure jetting
Blasts grease, silt and root growth from pipe walls without digging.
CCTV survey
A camera on rods or a crawler unit records the pipe condition end to end.
No-dig relining
A resin liner is cured inside the damaged pipe instead of excavating it.
