Drainsmart have grown to our position today by continually working towards a definite end product – a great service at a reasonable price! You may not have heard of us as we do not widely advertise, preferring to build on our name only. It’s true – you can’t beat a recommendation and we prove that, we thrive because of them. We are Panel Contractors for several Loss Adjusters (letters of reference available on request) and maintain a good work load and steady growth from these and many other long established sources such as Structural Engineers, Surveyors, Estate Agents, Managing Agents and Insurance Underwriters. Our experienced staff and engineers can help you with your drainage problem from the initial call, right through to the issue of our 15 year guarantee. We are fully equipped to carry out all kinds of works such as blockage clearances to remove cooking grease and non-disposable wipes, high pressure water jetting, milling with Picote machinery, root cutting and removal, CCTV camera inspections and drainage surveys, fluorescein dye testing, electronic sonde training, drain lining (structural soft felt lining and structural patch lining), pitch fibre rerounding, lateral drain reopening, drain installations and replacements. We have a collection of specialist equipment including Dancutter Lateral Cutting machinery, Picote milling machinery in various sizes, Picote Cannon Lining machines as well as the common equipment drainage contractors need like jetting machines, drain cameras and air machines. Having carried out 10s of 1000s of drain surveys, we have investigated a number of issues from vermin infestation and checking the drainage system for rat defence to structural movement caused by water loss. We are also routinely called out to survey systems to check the condition prior to purchasing a property or ascertain the layout of the underground drainage before commencing building works.

🚨 FREE ADVICE FRIDAY 🚨

A blocked drain isn't always as simple as something getting stuck. In some cases, the blockage can be a symptom of an underlying problem within the drainage system.

For this week's Free Advice Friday, our Blocked Drains Explained Guide looks at some of the most common causes of blockages, the warning signs to look out for, how they can be investigated and cleared, and when repeated problems could indicate something more serious.

Getting stuck into another day on site. 👷‍♂️

Our engineers carry out a wide range of drainage repairs across London and the South East, and sometimes that means getting a little closer to the job than others!

All part of the working day at Drainsmart.

🚨 FREE ADVICE FRIDAY 🚨

Drain lining can be an effective way of repairing damaged underground pipework without the need for excavation, but it isn't necessarily the right solution for every defect.

For this week's Free Advice Friday, our Drain Lining Explained Guide looks at how drain lining works, the different methods available, when lining may or may not be suitable and how it compares with excavation. It also covers preparation, expected lifespan and aftercare.

Some things are pretty hard to miss on a CCTV inspection… 👀🌳

A circumferential fracture picked up during one of our CCTV inspections. 👀

A good example of how a fairly significant defect can be present underground without necessarily being obvious from the surface.

The summer holidays are always an important window for carrying out planned drainage investigations, maintenance and repairs, allowing essential works to be completed while sites are quieter and disruption can be kept to a minimum.

Our engineers were kept busy across a number of school sites throughout the break, helping to make sure drainage systems were ready for pupils and staff returning for the new term.

Another productive summer for the Drainsmart team! 👏
