3. The Hidden Construction Mess

Building work nearby? Watch out. We've lost count of the times we've found construction debris in commercial drains.

Another call-out we dealt with was our CCTV survey revealed chunks of concrete in a London office block's drainage system.

The builders had gone, but their 'legacy' remained.

Quick tip: if there's construction around your property, get your drains checked afterwards.

4. The Misleading Minor Leak

That small damp patch you've been ignoring? It might be telling you something important.

One of our customers in Essex ignored a tiny wet spot on their warehouse floor for months.

When they finally called us, we discovered a cracked main drain that had been slowly undermining the building's foundations.

The lesson? Small signs can point to big problems.

5. The Spring Surprise

Winter isn't actually the worst time for drainage problems - it's spring.

When heavy rains hit soil that's still hard from winter frost, the water needs somewhere to go.

Unfortunately, that 'somewhere' is often through any weak point in your drainage system. We see a spike in emergency calls every March and April.

Don't Wait for Drama

Our team of engineers has seen how small problems can escalate quickly.

That's why we offer 24/7 service across Essex, Kent, and London - because drainage problems don't stick to office hours.

And yes, that's without any call-out charges.

The Smart Approach

Prevention beats emergency repairs every time. Our CCTV surveys can spot issues before they become disasters, and regular maintenance costs far less than emergency repairs.

Plus, with our NADC accreditation, you know you're in safe hands.
