Rats in Drains — Investigation & Sealing for Piltdown (TN22) properties

Piltdown 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 rats in drains — investigation & sealing job we take in TN22.

Most common drainage problems in Piltdown

  • Surface water flooding where downpipes discharge into foul drains
  • Silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in TN22
  • Scale and debris build-up narrowing older runs
  • Fat, oil and grease build-up from kitchen waste pipes
  • Blocked soakaways causing standing water in gardens and driveways
