Drain Odour Investigation in Colgate

Drain Odour Investigation for Colgate (RH12) properties

Colgate has the usual English mix: period property on original clay pipework, post-war housing on pitch fibre or early plastic, and newer builds on UPVC that still connect into much older shared runs. Each fails in a different way, so we diagnose before we dig. We factor that into every drain odour investigation job we take in RH12.

Most common drainage problems in Colgate

• 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
• Deformed pitch fibre pipes in 1950s–70s housing
• Wet wipes and sanitary items blocking the main lateral

How the visit works

1. 1Symptom mapping — When, where and under what conditions the smell appears.
2. 2Smoke testing — Non-toxic smoke shows where air is escaping the drainage system.
3. 3Repair — AAV replaced, trap re-primed or cracked pipe repaired.
