Local knowledge

How City of London drains fail

City of London housing is dominated by historic commercial buildings, Barbican estate flats and a small but growing residential population. The Square Mile's historic combined sewer network beneath centuries-old commercial buildings means legacy brick and clay runs are vulnerable to age-related collapse, and food waste from the borough's dense commercial premises is a frequent cause of blockages.

Knowing the local building stock matters: it tells us what pipe material and depth to expect, and which method will clear or diagnose the problem fastest — before we arrive.
