More about drain repairs and what causes drain damage
The majority of drain systems are commonly over 20 years old and are assembled from earthenware pipework, which is vulnerable to cracking and other types of damage being caused to the drain. Cracked and damaged drains allowing the loss of water can cause
erosion of the surrounding soil which over time may damage your property.Drain pipes can collapse from too much pressure being applied to the top of the drains. The drains can also collapse from too much corrosion. This is a hazard to the entire draining system because collapsed drains cause blockages and flooding.
Roots can cause major damage to a drainage system, the roots can both damage pipework or they can also grow into already broken drainage. Roots usually cause blockages and break pipework.
Drainsmart can perform London drain repairs on all damage to drainage systems.
During the 1960s, the most commonly used pipe material was pitch fibre, which has recently been discovered as defective as the pipework can break easily and be delaminated. This type of material can cause frequent blockages and deteriorate easily.

"The boys were brilliant! We had another company come in, and they took 2 days to do the job but couldn't complete it. These guys came over late Friday afternoon, and it only took them 20 minutes to finish the job. Brilliant job, guys!"

Gary, Drainage Services London
"Drainsmart offered a very quick and efficient service. They were able to organise a full drain survey within 48 hours of my initial call to them. I paid for the express survey service and received the survey less than 24 hours after the drain survey was completed. The drain survey is extensive and clear. I would recommend Drainsmart as a responsive and reliable drainage survey company that is genuinely local to South East London. Customer service was also very clear and helpful."
