We recently completed a drainage repair job in Croydon. The work involved removing an old Buchan trap and installing a liner in the affected drain run. This repair improved flow and helped reduce the risk of future blockages.
Drainage Problem Found
The property had an older drainage system with a Buchan trap in place. These older traps often cause problems over time. Waste and debris can catch inside them, which slows the flow and increases the chance of repeat blockages.
In this case, the trap had become a weak point in the system. It restricted the drain and contributed to the ongoing issue.
Buchan Trap Removal in Croydon
We accessed the affected section and removed the old Buchan trap. This step allowed us to open up the line and remove the restriction. Once we cleared the area, we prepared the pipework for repair.
Removing the trap gave the system a better path for wastewater to travel through. It also reduced the chance of the same issue returning.
Drain Liner Installation
After removing the trap, we installed a liner in the damaged section of the drain. This method allowed us to repair the pipe internally without replacing the full run.
The new liner strengthened the pipe and created a smoother internal surface. That helped improve flow and added extra protection to the drainage system.
Result of the Repair
This Croydon drainage repair gave the customer a more reliable system. The old restriction had gone, and the repaired section now had added support from the liner.
This type of job works well for older properties with ageing drains. It can solve a current problem and help prevent more serious repair work later.
