Local knowledge
Wallington housing, from a drainage engineer's side
Wallington's housing is predominantly inter-war and post-war semis and detached houses, offering family-sized homes with gardens. The drainage infrastructure mirrors this age profile, with clay pipes being standard. The area's residential consistency means our engineers are very familiar with the typical layout and common failure points of these systems, allowing for efficient diagnosis and clear communication of repair options and costs.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in Wallington
01
Joint Failure in Clay Pipes
The traditional clay pipe sections are joined with mortar. This mortar can degrade over time, creating gaps at the joints. These are prime entry points for roots and soil, leading to blockages and leaks.
02
Main Drain Blockages
The main drain running from the house to the sewer is a frequent trouble spot. A complete blockage here will cause wastewater to back up into the lowest point in the house, such as a ground-floor toilet or shower tray.
03
Incorrect DIY Repairs
We sometimes find previous attempts to fix issues using inappropriate sealants or liners that have failed. This can complicate a proper repair, but our CCTV survey identifies it, and we quote for the correct solution.
04
Partial Blockages Causing Odours
A partial blockage or belly in the drain may not cause immediate flooding but can allow sewer gases to escape back up the pipe and into the home via plugholes, creating persistent odour issues.
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.
