Drain Odour Investigation in Boxgrove

Drain Odour Investigation for Boxgrove (PO18) properties

Older homes in Boxgrove were plumbed with salt-glazed clay in short sections with mortar joints — the classic entry point for roots. Newer estates use continuous UPVC, which blocks less from roots and more from wipes, fat and misuse. We factor that into every drain odour investigation job we take in PO18.

Most common drainage problems in Boxgrove

• Manhole overflow and backing-up during heavy use
