Common Drainage Repairs We Undertake
Some of the common drainage repairs our plumbers tackle on the average day in Wallington, Sutton, Banstead or any nearby Surrey locale, include:
Blocked Drains – We use drain rods, hydro-jetting, or chemical solutions to break down blockages and restore flow. Blocked drains can be caused by the accumulation of grease, hair, foreign objects, or tree roots invading pipes.
Damaged, Poorly Installed or Collapsed Pipes – Drainage repair targeting faulty pipework often involves groundworks, specifically excavation so our plumbers can access the segment at issue. We’ll mend cracks or fractures, replace sections, or install new pipes where necessary. However, in many cases, no dig patch lining technology may allow for effective results.
Leaks – Some of the most common leaks our plumbers find when attending to Wallington, Sutton and Banstead properties include pinhole leaks, joint leaks and cracks in pipework. The appropriate drainage repair technique may involve the use of epoxy resins, joint sealants, or pipe clamps, depending on their severity and location.
Drain Relining – One Shot Utilities regularly employs no dig patch lining technology to insert a resin-saturated liner into a beleaguered pipe. This adheres to the interior, forming a new smooth surface and restoring functionality. It’s a fantastic alternative to the expense and time involved in a totally new drainage installation, which isn’t always necessary.
Each drainage repair our plumbers carry out in or around Wallington, Sutton and Banstead requires careful assessment and the application of appropriate techniques to ensure drains are functioning efficiently and aren’t at risk of re-experiencing the same issues down the line.
Speedy Diagnostics With CCTV Technology
Sometimes, it isn’t immediately apparent what might be the underlying cause of a drainage issue you’re experiencing. Once upon a time, this meant shutting down your system, dismantling it bit by bit, and quite literally poking and prodding around until the offending party was caught. And while in many cases a hands on inspection is the right approach to take, our plumbers now have a highly effective diagnostic tool in their belt to investigate issues for clients around Wallington, Banstead and Sutton in a less intrusive, time consuming manner: CCTV.
CCTV here doesn’t mean a bulky, mounted camera designed to catch-out intruders. Instead, it’s a tiny camera that’s mounted to a cable. Our veteran plumbers will feed it through your system and remotely monitor the image it feeds back. We can then analyse your system, locate blockages, cracks and other issues located deep within your drains, and recommend the best course of action. CCTV technology isn’t just a great way of identifying necessary drainage repairs; it’s also a great option for Wallington, Banstead and Sutton property hunters who want to make sure the home they’re about to shell out for isn’t a ticking time bomb, plagued by aging or badly damaged infrastructure.
