Project Overview

MR Drains was called to a property in GU6 8PG following reports of a complete drainage blockage. The client was experiencing severe flow issues, indicating a major obstruction within the system.

The Problem

The drainage system had:

  • Little to no water flow
  • Recurring backups
  • Signs of a full blockage within the pipe

A CCTV drain survey was carried out to identify the exact cause and location of the issue.

CCTV Findings

The inspection revealed:

  • A solid obstruction inside the pipe
  • Significant restriction of the pipe diameter
  • Debris accumulation causing a near-complete blockage

The image clearly shows a dense blockage ahead, preventing wastewater from passing through the drain.

Challenges on Site

  • Blockage located deep within the pipe run
  • Limited direct access for manual removal
  • Risk of pipe damage if handled incorrectly

Accurate diagnosis and the right equipment were essential to resolve the issue effectively.

Our Approach

1. CCTV Drain Survey

We used advanced camera equipment to:

  • Pinpoint the blockage location
  • Assess severity
  • Confirm no structural pipe collapse

2. High-Pressure Water Jetting

Specialist jetting equipment was used to:

  • Break down the obstruction
  • Dislodge compacted debris
  • Restore full pipe flow

3. Final Inspection

A follow-up CCTV check ensured:

  • The blockage was fully cleared
  • No residual debris remained
  • The pipe was in good condition

Equipment & Techniques Used

  • CCTV drain inspection system
  • High-pressure water jetting unit
  • Drain flow testing

Results

  • Complete removal of the blockage
  • Full restoration of drainage flow
  • No need for excavation or pipe replacement

The system was returned to optimal working condition quickly and efficiently.

Conclusion

This drain blockage in GU6 8PG demonstrates the importance of professional diagnostics and targeted clearance methods.

At MR Drains, we use advanced CCTV technology and high-pressure jetting to resolve even the most stubborn blockages with minimal disruption.
