Local knowledge
Tooting housing, from a drainage engineer's side
Tooting features dense Victorian and Edwardian terraced streets, a significant number of Houses in Multiple Occupation (HMOs), and commercial parades. The high occupancy density places exceptional demand on aging shared drainage. The prevalence of HMOs leads to frequent misuse blockages, requiring evidential clarity for fault attribution.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in Tooting
01
HMO Misuse Blockages
High-occupancy HMOs experience frequent blockages from inappropriate waste disposal. CCTV survey provides incontrovertible evidence of the cause (e.g., sanitary waste, grease), which is essential for landlords enforcing tenant agreements and allocating repair costs.
02
Collapsed Shared Section Drains
Long runs of shared clay drain serving terraces are prone to mid-run collapse. Our CCTV with pushrod technology locates the exact collapse point and documents the defect, which is necessary for coordinating a multi-property repair strategy.
03
Commercial Grease Trap Compliance
Restaurants and food outlets require regular monitoring of grease trap interceptor compliance and connection integrity. Our documented CCTV surveys provide the audit trail for environmental health and landlord compliance records.
04
Lateral Connection Deterioration
The individual property connections (laterals) to the main sewer in older terraces are often degraded. Tracer dye and CCTV inspection pinpoint which specific lateral is defective, preventing unnecessary excavation of adjacent sound drains.
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.
