Blocked Drain Cleared in Fairmile Lane Cobham
Drain Ace was recently called to a property on Fairmile Lane in Cobham, an area known for its large private homes and landscaped grounds.
The homeowner had noticed that the drainage system was not flowing properly and suspected a blockage in the underground pipework.
After locating the inspection chamber, the manhole cover was lifted to access the drain, revealing standing water caused by a blockage further along the pipe.
The drain was located within a beautifully maintained lawn surrounded by manicured gardens and topiary trees, with the Drain Ace van positioned on the gravel driveway nearby.
High Pressure Drain Jetting
To remove the blockage, Declan used professional high-pressure drain jetting equipment.
Drain jetting is one of the most effective methods for clearing stubborn drain blockages. A specialised hose is fed into the drain pipe and powerful jets of water are used to break up debris and flush it through the drainage system.
This technique can quickly remove:
- Grease and fat build-up
- Debris trapped in the pipe
- Silt and organic waste
- Stubborn blockages deep inside the drainage system
As the jetting process cleared the obstruction, the water level in the manhole dropped and the drain returned to normal flow.
Why Drain Jetting Is So Effective
Unlike traditional rodding methods, high-pressure jetting not only breaks up the blockage but also cleans the inside of the pipe.
This helps:
- Restore full drainage flow
- Remove built-up debris from pipe walls
- Reduce the likelihood of repeat blockages
Drain jetting is widely used by professional drainage engineers because it provides a fast, safe and highly effective solution for blocked drains.
