The Problem: Blocked Sewer Drain
- Our team received an emergency call out to a blocked foul sewer at the rear of this Birmingham property.
The Action Taken
- We carried out an investigation into the location of the blocked drain, looking for any joining manhole chambers or inspection covers. We located the blocked foul gully pot at the rear, but found there were no further drains access or manholes located within the property boundary. So our next step was high-pressure water jetting to clear the blockage. It was discovered that the cause of the blockage was an excessive build-up of FOG (fat and grease) within the drain gully pot.
Work Carried Out
- General investigations of the area and surrounding foul drainage system.
- High-pressure drain jetting to unblock the pipe.
- Area wash-down once the drain clearance was complete.
- Offered advice on avoidance of recurring blockages.
