Local knowledge
Palmers Green housing, from a drainage engineer's side
Palmers Green is characterised predominantly by interwar semis with generous gardens and tree-lined roads. The properties are typically set back from the road with longer private drain runs to the main sewer. These gardens host mature shrubs and trees whose roots are a primary threat to the ubiquitous clay pipework serving these homes.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in Palmers Green
01
Long Private Drain Run Blockages
The distance from the house to the main sewer under the road can be 20 metres or more. A blockage or break in this long, private section is the homeowner's full responsibility and can be a major, costly repair.
02
Extensive Root Networks
Mature trees like poplars and willows in gardens seek out the moisture in clay drains, creating dense root mats that completely occlude pipes, often requiring mechanical cutting or partial replacement.
03
Driveway and Patio Damage
Accessing drains that run under drives or paved patios is common here. This adds complexity and cost to repairs, as reinstatement of hard landscaping must be factored in from the outset.
04
Settling of Pipework
Over decades, the ground under these long gardens can settle unevenly, putting stress on rigid clay pipe joints and leading to misalignments that catch waste and cause recurrent blockages.
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.
