Drainsmart have grown to our position today by continually working towards a definite end product – a great service at a reasonable price! You may not have heard of us as we do not widely advertise, preferring to build on our name only. It’s true – you can’t beat a recommendation and we prove that, we thrive because of them. We are Panel Contractors for several Loss Adjusters (letters of reference available on request) and maintain a good work load and steady growth from these and many other long established sources such as Structural Engineers, Surveyors, Estate Agents, Managing Agents and Insurance Underwriters. Our experienced staff and engineers can help you with your drainage problem from the initial call, right through to the issue of our 15 year guarantee. We are fully equipped to carry out all kinds of works such as blockage clearances to remove cooking grease and non-disposable wipes, high pressure water jetting, milling with Picote machinery, root cutting and removal, CCTV camera inspections and drainage surveys, fluorescein dye testing, electronic sonde training, drain lining (structural soft felt lining and structural patch lining), pitch fibre rerounding, lateral drain reopening, drain installations and replacements. We have a collection of specialist equipment including Dancutter Lateral Cutting machinery, Picote milling machinery in various sizes, Picote Cannon Lining machines as well as the common equipment drainage contractors need like jetting machines, drain cameras and air machines. Having carried out 10s of 1000s of drain surveys, we have investigated a number of issues from vermin infestation and checking the drainage system for rat defence to structural movement caused by water loss. We are also routinely called out to survey systems to check the condition prior to purchasing a property or ascertain the layout of the underground drainage before commencing building works.

🚨 FREE ADVICE FRIDAY 🚨

Repeated rat activity isn't always simply a pest control problem. In some cases, defects within the drainage system can provide rodents with a route into a property.

For this week's Free Advice Friday, our Rodents & Drainage Guide looks at how rats can enter through drainage systems, the common defects that can give them access and how CCTV inspections can help identify the source of the problem. We also cover rat blockers, redundant drains and ways to help prevent future infestations.

Rust deposits visible within this section of pipework during a recent CCTV camera inspection.

Providing the property address and reason for the inspection helps us understand the basic requirement. Photographs of visible manhole covers and other possible access points can also help identify potential limitations before attendance.

Please let us know if any covers are beneath decking, paving, flooring or stored items, whether the drainage is currently flowing and whether you have any survey comments, plans or previous drainage reports.

A CCTV Camera Condition Inspection covers accessible underground drainage within the agreed scope. Discussing the available access beforehand helps us recommend the appropriate package and allocate suitable time for the visit.

Contact Drainsmart with the property details and any available photographs or documents.

A fair amount of debris pulled out of this one by our engineers while getting things cleared and flowing again.

What happens if a CCTV camera cannot inspect every drain?

Access can sometimes be restricted by concealed manholes, blockages, traps, sharp bends or damaged pipework.

Drainsmart will still record the accessible drainage and clearly explain any limitations within the written report and computerised drainage layout drawing. If further investigation is appropriate, the available options will be discussed separately.

Planning a CCTV Camera Condition Inspection? Send us the property address, reason for the survey and photographs of any visible access points.

🚨 FREE ADVICE FRIDAY 🚨

A blocked drain isn't always as simple as something getting stuck. In some cases, the blockage can be a symptom of an underlying problem within the drainage system.

For this week's Free Advice Friday, our Blocked Drains Explained Guide looks at some of the most common causes of blockages, the warning signs to look out for, how they can be investigated and cleared, and when repeated problems could indicate something more serious.

Getting stuck into another day on site. πŸ‘·β€β™‚οΈ

Our engineers carry out a wide range of drainage repairs across London and the South East, and sometimes that means getting a little closer to the job than others!
