Drainage Services Edmonton
Blocked drain clearance, CCTV surveys and no-dig relining for Edmonton homes, from engineers who know Edmonton buildings.
Local knowledge
Edmonton housing, from a drainage engineer's side
Edmonton presents a diverse mix, including Victorian workers' cottages, interwar semis, and numerous 1960s housing estates. This creates a drainage landscape of ageing private clay pipes intersecting with more modern, but often shared, estate systems. The higher density of some areas means drain runs are frequently complex and access can be restricted, complicating traditional repair methods.

Trenchless patch repairs and relining allow us to fix complex, shared drain sections with minimal disruption to communal pathways and drives.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in Edmonton
01
Complex Shared Drain Blockages
On the 1960s estates, blockages often occur in the shared sections of drain serving multiple homes. Identifying the source of the blockage and coordinating responsibility among residents can delay resolution, leading to extended inconvenience.
02
Degraded Interwar Drain Junctions
The interwar semis in the area have drainage systems where later extensions or modifications were poorly connected to the original clay network. These weak junctions are frequent failure points, leading to leaks and localised blockages.
03
Collapsed Sections Under Drives
Many properties have had front gardens converted to hardstanding. The weight of vehicles over decades can compress the ground and fracture the shallow clay drains running beneath, leading to a sudden and complete collapse.
04
Incorrect Waste Disposal in High-Density Areas
In areas with higher density housing and rental properties, issues like flushing of inappropriate items are more common. This leads to blockages that affect multiple properties on a shared run, requiring professional jetting to clear.
Three methods, one visit
High-pressure jetting
Blasts grease, silt and root growth from pipe walls without digging.
CCTV survey
A camera on rods or a crawler unit records the pipe condition end to end.
No-dig relining
A resin liner is cured inside the damaged pipe instead of excavating it.
