Drain Odour Investigation for Old Basing (RG24) 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 drain odour investigation in Old Basing, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.

Most common drainage problems in Old Basing

  • Fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes
  • Blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways
