London drain survey is a critical service, especially in London. When it comes to drains, the results of a survey can mean the difference between extreme flooding and just a minor inconvenience.
Highways Drainage Surveys
Highways Drainage Surveys are a vital service in London, as they provide the council with information about your drain needed to decide whether or not it needs repairing. This can be done by a contractor or third-party insurers, who will send an engineer out to inspect your drain after being instructed by either party. The surveyor will assess if there are any issues with the structure of the pipe and advise on how best it can be repaired or maintained.
Sinkholes And Subsidence Surveys
A sinkhole, also known as subsidence, is a hole or depression in the ground caused by the collapse of surface materials. Although they can occur naturally through erosion or soil displacement, they are often triggered by underground water erosion. Common causes include nearby construction activities and heavy rains.
Insurance Drainage Surveys
Insurance drainage surveys are another service that we offer to our clients. Insurance companies require a survey before paying out. We can give you the peace of mind that your insurance company needs to make their decision. They are interested not only in how damaged your drains are but also in whether or not there is a risk of flooding or if the drain is in a good state of repair.
Sewer Inspection Survey
Sewer inspection surveys are vital for determining a problem with your sewer system. These surveys look at the condition of your pipes and other underground drainage systems so that you can identify any issues before they become serious problems. Here’s what to look out for during a sewer inspection:
- Check external connectors for proper fit. Water can run into the earth and produce erosion or flooding, causing severe harm.
- Check if all joints in your system have been maintained to prevent sewage leaks and clogs in pipes or drains. It prevents unnecessary repairs by recognising flaws early so you can correct them before they worsen.
- Check for cracks or leaks in walls where pipes flow through them. Because they can cause significant damage over time if left ignored, forcing families to call plumbers when something goes wrong.”
Drain Jet Vacuumation
Drain jet vacuums are the most effective tools for removing blockages in your drains. They use high-pressure water jets to remove grease, sludge and debris from any surface. The jet can be used to remove fat, grease, oil and grease from drains and other surfaces such as kitchen worktops, sinks and shower screens.
The process involves drilling a hole in the base of your drain cover so that you can insert a cable into it before using the vacuum to suck out all residual materials inside.
