A set of blocked drains located adjacent to a main road in the town of Oldham in Greater Manchester has finally been cleared after a long battle which has caused a bad smell, weeds and unsightliness for months.
What Caused the Problem?
It appears that the drains had become excessively full owing to an excess of weeds and mud making its way into the system. Of course, as these continued to grow, thriving in the dark world of the underground pipes and the sewage system, the blockage worsened. This in turn led to water overflowing from the drains as well as mud trickling down the road and a bad smell.
As soon as heavy rain hit, the problem worsened and water was not able to enter the drains.
Solutions to Blocked Drains
Oldham Council were the folks who successfully cleared the blocked drains in Oldham. It is generally the local council’s responsibility to sort public drains according to Gov.UK.
With the right know-how, it’s easy to clear blocked drains whether in these sorts of circumstances or in a domestic property. If you notice any indication that your drains are blocked – a bad smell, water not draining or worse still, a leak – call experts such as wilkinson-env.co.uk/drainage-services-cctv-surveys-midlands/cctv-drain-surveys/leicester/, who can use a CCTV drain survey Leicester to see exactly what is going on inside the pipes.
This is a far more efficient way to see deep inside the pipes and to diagnose and repair any problems before they cause havoc.
