Local knowledge
How Camden drains fail
Camden housing is dominated by Georgian terraces, stucco villas and mansion-block flats. The prevalence of Georgian terraces and Victorian mansion blocks in Camden means many properties are connected to original clay drains and the area's historic combined sewer system, which can be prone to blockages.
Knowing the local building stock matters: it tells us what pipe material and depth to expect, and which method will clear or diagnose the problem fastest — before we arrive.

Three methods, one visit
High-pressure jetting

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.
Common drainage problems in Camden
Blocked Combined Drains
Many Camden properties connect to the historic combined sewer system, where surface water and waste share the same pipe. This older, narrower system is prone to blockages from modern usage, especially when tree roots from mature gardens invade the original clay pipes.
Collapsing Clay Pipes
Original clay drains, common in Georgian and Victorian properties, degrade over time. Ground movement from heavy traffic or nearby construction in a dense borough can cause these brittle pipes to crack or collapse, leading to slow drainage or total failure.
Fatbergs in Shared Stacks
Mansion blocks and stucco villas often have shared vertical waste stacks serving multiple flats. Grease, wipes, and other non-flushables accumulate in these communal pipes, creating internal fatbergs that cause backups affecting several households at once.
Basement Flooding
Properties with basement kitchens or bathrooms, typical in this housing stock, are vulnerable when the main sewer surcharges during heavy rain. The combined system can overload, pushing water back up through the lowest drains and causing significant internal flooding.
