Blocked Drains Coventry; Our Recent Emergency Call-Outs

The results of blocked drains can be costly, messy, and unfortunately go unnoticed for months until something goes wrong. At Vikings Building Solutions, we are well used to emergency call-outs to blocked drains in Coventry. In this post, ‘Blocked Drains Coventry; Our Recent Emergency call-Outs’ we recap some of our recent call-outs and explain how we were able to resolve the issue for our clients.

1. Blocked Drain Pipe Community Building

We were the third contractor called out to a community building who were experiencing flooding as a result of a damaged pipe. After the first two companies were unable to detect the issue, our team of drainage engineers received the call late one evening when on our way home from work. The impacts were significant for our client. We were able to diagnose the issue, locate the area of the blockage, access the section of the pipe with a blockage, and begin to make it clear.

As you can see from the following images, all sorts of rubbish were blocking the pipe. Our team isolated the pipe and removed it as per the images below. We added a new section of pipe and were able to solve the issue for our client in no time at all.

2. Drain Jetting at Commercial Business Coventry

Drain cleaning or drain clearance is important to ensure your drains are flowing freely. If drains are not cleaned, there could be blockages which can cause significant issues such as potential flooding, property damage, foul odours and an overflow of human waste (keep scrolling to be horrified).

We regularly receive calls for drain jetting and drain cleaning from commercial and industrial businesses. We received a call from a regular client complaining of a foul smell from the drains. Upon inspection under the manhole cover, there was evidence drain jetting was required to get things moving, and the smell resolved. Take a look at the following image for the results following our work.

3. Blocked Drains Coventry Empire

Following a period of intense rain, we received an emergency call-out to clear the blocked drains Coventry Empire, a music venue and nightclub in the City Centre. Our 24/7 emergency call-out drainage engineers were luckily on hand to attend the site, and clear the blocked drains from the roof. Check out the following video for more information: Drain Unblocking, Coventry Empire.

We take pride in offering 24/7 emergency drain unblocking to our clients across Coventry, including domestic, industrial and commercial properties. The impacts of blocked or damaged drains can be impactful on your home or business in several ways. Should you find or suspect a blockage, contact a drainage engineer like us to come out and make it safe.

4. Collapsed Drain Coventry

The following images are the result of a collapsed drain in Coventry. This wasn’t one of our jobs but was sent to us by a friend. The drainage pipe next to the property had collapsed over time, which can happen. The impact, however, left faeces, and all sorts of other human waste were left to flow out the drain. The drain in question was a public sewer, for which Severn Trent had accountability for. They had to attend, excavate, and replace the pipe. 

If this was to happen on your property, however, you would need a drainage company such as ours to come and rectify. Check out our blog post What is Drainage & Who is Responsible for What for an overview of the various roles and responsibilities when it comes to drainage. A collapsed drain can occur for a variety of reasons, pressure, pipe degeneration, roots or incorrectly disposed waste. The impacts, as shown below, can be devastating. This highlights how crucial it is to investigate and clear blocked drains as soon as possible.
