Emergency Drain Clearance & CCTV Survey for Valued Customer in Dearne Valley

Blocked drains are never convenient, but when they start backing up on a live commercial site, response time is everything. Our team were called out to a Dearne Valley-based customer who we've worked with for several years. They'd reported an emergency issue with standing water and flooding around several key access areas.

We know this site well, and we know how they operate. Within hours, our drainage team were on site, kitted out and ready to tackle the problem head-on.

Fat, Grease, Wipes and Debris

The cause? A build-up of fat, wet wipes, and general site waste had completely blocked one of the main surface water outflows. We’ve seen this kind of thing before – but even we were surprised by just how compacted it was.

After isolating the affected chambers, our engineers carried out a full manual and mechanical clearance, using jetting and suction to safely remove the blockage and get things flowing again.

CCTV Survey for Peace of Mind

Once the immediate issue was under control, we carried out a full CCTV drainage survey. This not only helped confirm that the pipework downstream was intact, but also gave the client peace of mind that there was no underlying damage or collapse.

Our detailed survey report was issued within 24 hours, giving clear evidence and guidance on future maintenance plans. It's this level of service that keeps clients coming back to FME.
