Upon arrival, we quickly realised that a simple plunger or drain rod wouldn’t suffice. We deployed our state-of-the-art CCTV equipment, allowing us to delve deep into the drain and visually inspect the problem. What we discovered was a collapsed Victorian drain, 3 metres in depth.
London’s Victorian-era infrastructure is a marvel of engineering, but like all things, it is susceptible to wear and tear. Over time, these historic drains can deteriorate, leading to blockages or, in this case, a complete collapse.
