Blocked Drain in Cobham Investigated with CCTV Survey
Drain Ace was recently called to a property in Cobham, Surrey to deal with a blocked drain that was preventing wastewater from flowing freely through the system.
After carrying out the drain unblocking service, the drain was flowing again, but to ensure the underlying cause of the blockage was identified, a CCTV drain inspection was recommended.
CCTV drain surveys are one of the most reliable ways to investigate drainage problems because they allow the inside of the pipe to be inspected using a specialist waterproof camera.
CCTV Inspection Identifies the Cause
The CCTV footage revealed that the blockage had been caused by a broken section of the drain pipe.
A chunk of damaged pipe had broken away and fallen into the drainage channel, partially obstructing the flow of water. Over time this obstruction had collected debris and waste, eventually causing the drain to block.
Issues like this can occur due to:
- Ageing pipework
- Ground movement
- Structural deterioration in older drainage systems
- External pressure on the pipe
By using the CCTV inspection equipment, the exact location of the damaged section of pipe was quickly identified.
Repairing the Drain with a Structural Liner
Once the obstruction was removed, the damaged area of pipe was repaired using a structural drain liner.
Drain patch lining is a modern repair technique that reinforces the damaged section of pipe internally without the need for excavation. A specialist liner is inserted into the pipe and positioned over the damaged area, where it hardens to form a strong internal repair.
This method offers several benefits:
- Repairs cracked or broken pipe sections
- Restores the structural integrity of the drain
- Avoids disruptive digging
- Provides a long-lasting solution
After the repair was completed, the drain was checked again to ensure the system was flowing freely.
