Local knowledge
Wallington housing, from a drainage engineer's side
Wallington offers a mix of inter-war and post-war housing, including many solidly built semis and terraces with modest gardens. The drainage infrastructure here is of a similar vintage and material, but the slightly more compact urban layout means shared drainage responsibilities between neighbours are common. Issues with boundary drains and sectioned ownership of pipes frequently arise, requiring clear communication and co-ordinated repairs.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in Wallington
01
Shared Drain Blockages at Boundaries
Many Wallington properties share a single drainage run to the main sewer, often crossing multiple garden boundaries. A blockage in this shared section affects all connected homes and requires agreement and co-ordination between neighbours to facilitate access and repair.
02
Post-War Concrete Pipe Degradation
Some post-war developments used concrete or pre-cast sectional pipes. These can degrade internally, creating rough surfaces that catch debris and cause recurrent blockages. The material is also prone to misalignment at joints, leading to leaks and root entry.
03
Kitchen Waste Pipe Grease Build-Up
The family-oriented homes in Wallington see high use of kitchen drains. Over years, cooking fats and food waste combine to form thick grease coatings inside the smaller diameter waste pipes under sinks, severely restricting flow and requiring aggressive jetting.
04
Blocked Inspection Chambers
Older brick inspection chambers (manholes) in gardens can collapse or become packed with silt and roots. This prevents access for clearing blockages further down the line, meaning the chamber itself must be dug out and rebuilt before the main issue can be addressed.
Three methods, one visit
High-pressure jetting
Blasts grease, silt and root growth from pipe walls without digging.
CCTV survey
A camera on rods or a crawler unit records the pipe condition end to end.
No-dig relining
A resin liner is cured inside the damaged pipe instead of excavating it.
