๐จ Saturday Emergency Call-Out ๐จ
We were called out to a property on Saturday following an emergency drainage issue. The toilet waste was backing up and flowing out through the kitchen sink whenever the upstairs toilet was flushed. ๐ฝ๐ง
There was no sewer chamber that we could locate externally, so we traced the soil stack downstairs, which was concealed behind a wall. An access point was carefully created to allow us to mechanically clear the blockage.
Once the blockage was cleared, we discovered the cause โ tree roots had entered the drainage system. ๐ณ
We then carried out a CCTV drain inspection and trace, which located a buried sewer chamber underneath the slabs at the front of the property.
The chamber will now be uncovered and brought up to ground level, providing proper access for future maintenance and helping prevent a similar issue from becoming a major emergency again.
