Flooded Drains & Manholes for Broadfield (RH11) properties

Much of the Weald sits on heavy clay that swells in winter and shrinks in summer. That movement is the single biggest cause of cracked and displaced joints in older clay drain runs here. That matters for flooded drains & manholes in Broadfield, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.

Most common drainage problems in Broadfield

  • Fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes
  • Blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways
  • Manhole overflow and backing-up during heavy use
  • Collapsed or dropped sections in older clay pipework
