Location: Bleadon, near Weston-super-Mare
Problem: blocked external drains
Access and method: manhole access with high pressure water jetting
Outcome: all facilities back in working order
The customer’s problem
The booking described blocked external drains. When the shared drainage route is restricted, several facilities can be affected, so the external access point is an important part of the investigation.
Finding the working access point
The engineer’s completion note identifies the manhole as the access used for clearance. The selected job photograph shows the inspection chamber and its drainage channels, without exposing the customer’s private address.
How the blockage was cleared
Aquablast used high pressure water jetting from the manhole. This method allows the engineer to work into the affected drainage route through an existing access point. The notes do not name a particular material as the cause.
The documented outcome
The completion record explicitly states that all facilities were back in working order. That is the useful result for this case: the obstruction was cleared and the property’s facilities could drain again.
What to watch for afterwards
Take note of repeated slow drainage, unusual gurgling or water returning at another fixture. If the problem recurs, share these details with the engineer. A CCTV survey may be appropriate where repeated blockage suggests a cause that clearance alone has not explained.
