Blocked drain clearance, CCTV surveys and no-dig relining for Teddington homes, from engineers who know Teddington buildings.
Local knowledge
Teddington housing, from a drainage engineer's side
Teddington offers a blend of spacious Arts and Crafts homes, inter-war semis, and riverside apartments, with a strong emphasis on garden space. The area's drainage is influenced by its position near the Teddington Lock and weir, with variable ground conditions. Properties often have combined surface water and foul drainage systems of considerable age. Engineers note that blockages here can quickly escalate due to the complex interplay of private drains and older public sewer connections.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in Teddington
01
Lock-Side Ground Water Pressure
Fluctuating water levels from the nearby lock can increase hydrostatic pressure on drainage systems. This pressure tests the integrity of old pipe joints, often forcing wastewater back into properties or revealing pre-existing cracks.
02
Faulty Combined Drainage Systems
Many older homes in Teddington have combined drains handling both wastewater and rainwater. Heavy rainfall can overwhelm these ageing systems, leading to internal backups, especially if there are pre-existing partial blockages.
03
Sealed Access Point Difficulties
Over decades, original drain access points like rodding eyes have often been paved over or built upon. Locating and safely accessing these points for maintenance requires expert detection and careful excavation.
04
Grease Blockages in Family-Occupied Homes
The prevalence of family-sized homes leads to significant grease and soap scum buildup in bathroom and kitchen pipes. In narrow, aged clay drains, this buildup hardens into a concrete-like obstruction that requires professional 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.
