The Issue
In Llaingoch, Holyhead, a council bungalow was experiencing persistent drain blockages, causing serious inconvenience for the occupants. Despite temporary fixes, the problem kept returning, suggesting a deeper issue with the property’s drainage system. Our team were called in to carry out a thorough inspection and lasting repair.
The Investigation
Our in-house engineers arrived promptly and began by carefully exposing the section of the pipe that was causing the problem. Once the area was safely excavated, we broke into the glazed clay pipe and deployed our high-resolution CCTV drain inspection camera. The footage revealed a significant obstruction caused by an unseen flexi bend that had been lodged blindly into the line, disrupting flow and causing repeat blockages.
The Solution
To remove the obstruction, our team used some wire to carefully hook and extract the flexi bend. With the source of the problem identified and cleared, we replaced the outdated glazed clay pipes with modern plastic drainage pipes. This upgrade ensured a smoother and more reliable flow, significantly reducing the likelihood of future issues. The work, including excavation, CCTV survey, removal, and full pipe replacement, was completed efficiently within a single day, a testament to the skill and teamwork of our crew.
The Result
The new drainage system is now working flawlessly, delivering consistent flow and peace of mind for the homeowner. Our client was impressed not only with the quality of work but also with the professionalism and camaraderie of the team. In their words, “Brilliant, high-quality work and warm, friendly people… us customers are very lucky you employ workmen of this calibre.”
