Drain Odour Investigation for Southend-on-Sea (SS1) properties

A lot of drainage in Southend-on-Sea predates the people using it. Extensions, loft conversions and added bathrooms load runs beyond their original design, and that's when hidden faults finally show. We factor that into every drain odour investigation job we take in SS1.

  • Fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes
