Drainage Services Feltham
Blocked drain clearance, CCTV surveys and no-dig relining for Feltham homes, from engineers who know Feltham buildings.
Local knowledge
Feltham housing, from a drainage engineer's side
Feltham's housing stock is predominantly 20th-century, including large estates of inter-war, post-war, and later suburban semi-detached and detached homes. Drainage systems are typically shallower than in Victorian areas and may combine clay, concrete, and early plastic pipes. There is significant areas of parkland and open space, implying potential for root issues from boundary planting. The drainage network is generally less complex but can be extensive across larger plots.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in Feltham
01
Post-War Concrete Pipe Fracture
Many properties from the 1950s-70s utilised concrete drainage pipes, which are prone to sulphide attack (bacterial corrosion) and subsequent cracking. These fractures allow root and soil ingress. Our CCTV surveys identify the characteristic deterioration and classify the structural defect for repair or replacement.
02
Garden Drainage Overload
Larger suburban plots often have extensive surface water drainage (soakaways, land drains) connected to or mistaken for foul drains. These can become overloaded or collapse, causing garden flooding and potential subsidence. We trace and survey these ancillary systems to separate flows correctly.
03
Blockages from Modern Debris
The prevalence of modern conveniences like wet wipes, sanitary products, and cooking fats leads to frequent blockages in the moderate-diameter pipes of these homes. These blockages often occur at bends or junctions. CCTV evidence clearly shows the nature of the blockage, supporting educational efforts with tenants or homeowners.
04
Shallow Run Frost Heave Damage
Shallow drainage runs, common in post-war housing, are susceptible to damage from ground frost heave in winter. This can cause pipes to lift and break at joints. A post-winter CCTV survey can assess any new damage attributable to seasonal ground movement.
Three methods, one visit
High-pressure jetting
Blasts grease, silt and root growth from pipe walls without digging.
CCTV survey
A camera on rods or a crawler unit records the pipe condition end to end.
No-dig relining
A resin liner is cured inside the damaged pipe instead of excavating it.
