Blocked Drainage Preston

We were recently called out to a blocked drain that was causing ongoing issues.
Rather than simply clearing the blockage and hoping for the best, we carried out a proper drainage investigation to find out what was actually causing the problem.
CCTV drain inspection carried out
High Pressure Water Jetting (HPWJ) from the rodding eye
Blockage located and investigated
During the CCTV drainage survey, we discovered a significant amount of silt and debris entering the drainage system from the washing machine connection.
It seems the washing machine had been sending more than just dirty laundry down the line!
Over time, the build-up had accumulated within the pipework, restricting the flow and eventually contributing to the drain blockage.
We used high pressure water jetting to thoroughly clean the affected section of pipework and restore the drainage flow.
Blockage cleared
Silt and debris removed
Pipework cleaned
CCTV inspection completed
Cause of the drainage issue identified
Drain flowing freely again
This is a great example of why CCTV drainage surveys are so useful. Clearing a blockage is one thing — understanding why it happened in the first place can help prevent the same problem from coming back.
If you’re experiencing slow drains, recurring blockages, gurgling drains, bad smells or wastewater backing up, don’t ignore it.
