Drain Excavation & Re-Lay for Blackboys (TN22) properties

The blockages we see most in Blackboys are deformed pitch fibre pipes in 1950s–70s housing, wet wipes and sanitary items blocking the main lateral, displaced joints and misalignment caused by ground movement. Drain Excavation & Re-Lay is the right call when those symptoms point at the underground run rather than the trap under the sink.
