Well a busy day in Tregaron today, the Llew Coch called us out a week ago to take a look at their drains which have been giving a few issues, we cleared a blockage and carried out a full drain survey and inspection, diagnosed a couple of issues and agreed a quote to carry out the remedial works. Today was the day!
At approximately 2'6" down below an internal rear floor area there was a 6" pipe with a badly stepped and open joint, this was holding stones from the outside rain water drains along with other 'debris' (p**p and paper amongst other things from the toilets 😜) causing constant blockages. To dig this area up, repair the pipe, backfill and make good the floor etc would have cost well in excess of £2,500 along with major disruption to the business. We were able to carry out a no-dig patch repair all during the day before opening time with no disruption to their business at all so no loss or income or more importantly upset for their customers from enjoying a pint after a hard days work 😁
We also found and repaired some poor areas of benching and open joints to an inspection chamber which again we were able to tidy up and repoint before opening time so all good.
Photo's show the patch in place, as can be seen the step and open joint are now nicely smoothed out and sealed which will help the flow nicely in future and all for a fraction of the cost of digging up to replace.
Joints left open in the drains with water escaping cause erosion and further stepping to the joints and even drain collapsing, the patch has now sealed the joint preventing any future erosion problems......as the old saying goes......'a stitch in time saves 9' and in this case a small fortune in future repair costs!
Later in the week we will return to give all the drains a thorough jetting clean and descale to ensure a problem free future.
Even Michael our tanker driver was working in the town emptying a treatment tank for another customer of ours so he called in to say hello.
So 2 more very happy customers to add to our ever growing list of happy customers in the area, if you need any drain blockage jetting, camera work and surveys, home buyers drainage reports, drain repairs and tank emptying or installations please don't hesitate to call or email us, see our website at www.celticwaste.wales for some of what we can do to help you.
