Drain unblocking in Bromley

In Bromley the cause that keeps coming back is established trees in mature gardens. Roots get into older clay and cast iron drains and block the same run time after time, and clearing it without a survey simply sets up the next callout.

Locally, this is what comes up

Drain unblocking in Bromley

  • Roots from mature trees getting into cast iron and clay drains
  • One run of drain blocking again and again over the year
  • A CCTV survey to pinpoint the length that needs repairing, not just clearing

Drain work in Bromley often means a long walk with the equipment. On detached and semi-detached plots the pipe can pass under a side passage, a garage, a conservatory added later and a patio before it reaches a chamber. Extensions built over an old run sometimes leave a chamber indoors under a floor, or lose it altogether. Some older houses send rainwater to a soakaway in the garden instead of the sewer, and a soakaway that has silted up over decades behaves like a blocked drain: water backs up at the downpipe and pools on the lawn. Big gardens also mean outbuildings, utility rooms and garden sinks tied into the main drain, each one another branch that can catch debris. Parking is rarely the difficulty here. The width of the side gate and the number of fences between the van and the chamber usually are, so it helps to know where your covers are when you call.

Questions

Questions we often get

Do you work in Bromley?

We do. Bromley falls within Bromley, covering the BR1, BR2, SE20, SE26 postcodes, and our engineers are out across Greater London from our Fulham office every day.

Why does my drain block again every few months?

Around Bromley the usual reason is tree roots working into a joint in an old clay pipe. Clearing them gives you a few months before the blockage returns. A camera survey locates the faulty length so it can be lined or repaired once, rather than cleared four times over.

Water pools at the bottom of a downpipe, but the drains inside are fine. What is that?

Usually the rainwater side, not the foul drain. On older houses here the downpipe may feed a soakaway in the garden rather than the sewer, and soakaways clog with silt over the years until they cannot take a heavy shower. It can also be a blocked gully at the foot of the pipe. Running water and checking the chambers tells us which. A failed soakaway needs rebuilding or replacing, not clearing.

How much will it cost?

Before an engineer starts, you are given a price for the job. Should something hidden in a wall change what is needed, we stop and discuss it with you first, instead of pressing on and sending the bill later.
