Drain Odour Investigation for Thornton Heath (CR7) properties

London clay is unforgiving on old drainage. Ground movement over decades opens up joints in Victorian salt-glazed clay, and roots find those openings within a season. That matters for drain odour investigation in Thornton Heath, because the right fix depends entirely on what the ground is doing to the pipe.
