Drain Odour Investigation in The Hermitage

Drain Odour Investigation for The Hermitage (KT20) properties

Older homes in The Hermitage 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 KT20.

Most common drainage problems in The Hermitage

• Displaced joints and misalignment caused by ground movement
• Root ingress at clay pipe joints on tree-lined streets around The Hermitage
• Shared drainage disputes between neighbouring or converted properties
• Surface water flooding where downpipes discharge into foul drains
• Silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in KT20
