Let's put in your home maintenance plan
This is the damage that can create😳
The stability of this Victorian farmhouse was compromised by their failing drainage system.
With a bit of backhanded luck the waste water was mainly taken up in a well that was found underground.
Here is how we resolved the issue:
-Filled the well with 12 tonnes of 10mm stone vibrated in and pumping out the water as it rose, with a reinforced cap to finish.
-Underpinned where the subsoil had been washed away under the house.
- After an inspection we graded the rest of the existing drains as a C (must replace).
- Replaced all drains with a much needed flow friendly route, tapping into the manhole before rebuilding.
The exposure of this one was great for the peace of mind of the customer.
