    Drain Repair

    Posted 3 days ago

    A knowledgeable and reliable business.

    A sewage inspection chamber in my garden required reconfiguration following three sewage water overflows caused by blockages downstream. This involved raising the height of the chamber with brickwork, and fitting a cover with a rubber gasket as a final defence against further flooding. Drain and Able was provided a quotation based on my report of the problem, accompanied with some photographs of the chamber. The work took just over half a day. No mess, no issues, and a couple of gents who it was a pleasure to meet. I would recommend Drain and Able for your needs based on the completed job.
