We tried everything to clear an overflowing sink waste in St Neots, Cambridgeshire,  including our specialist electromechanical equipment and using  a CCTV inspection camera from the neighbours’ inspection chambers to try to ascertain where the blocked drain actually ran.  We found that there was absolutely no other access point to our client’s drain,  so we traced its path from the gulley with our sonic drain tracer and dug a 5 foot deep hole at a convenient point along its length.

When we came to pierce a hole in the uncovered drainage pipe to create an access point, the fountain of  sewage under pressure was quite impressive and unfortunate for some!  But we were then able to remove a huge quantity of offending tree roots, clear the blockage and inspect the drain with our CCTV camera. Some video footage is below.
