New Soakaway Installation in Caversham, Reading to Improve Rainwater Drainage
January 2024 Caversham, Reading 24hrs Drainage recently completed a new soakaway installation at a domestic property in Caversham, Reading, Berkshire to significantly improve the property’s rainwater drainage system. The homeowner had been experiencing issues with surface water pooling, particularly during heavy rainfall, which was affecting both the garden and surrounding areas. Our team assessed the site and designed a soakaway system tailored to the property’s needs. This involved excavating and installing a new soakaway, allowing excess rainwater to percolate into the ground efficiently, reducing the risk of flooding and waterlogging. The installation was carried out with minimal disruption, ensuring long-term effectiveness for managing surface water. Soakaways are a key component of sustainable drainage solutions, helping to prevent water buildup, property damage, and excess strain on existing drainage systems. By directing rainwater away from the property and into a controlled soakaway, we ensured that the homeowner will benefit from a more efficient and environmentally friendly drainage system.

Blocked Drain Cleared at Woodley Council Headquarters
January 2025 Woodley 24hrs Drainage was recently called out to Woodley Council’s headquarters to investigate and resolve a blocked drain. Upon arrival, our team quickly got to work using high-pressure water jetting, an effective method for breaking up and flushing out stubborn blockages. This restored flow to the drain, allowing us to carry out further investigations. Following the clearance, we conducted a CCTV drain survey to assess the condition of the pipework and identify the root cause of the blockage. The inspection revealed root ingress, a common issue where tree roots penetrate drainage systems, leading to severe obstructions and potential pipe damage over time. To provide a long-term solution, we have scheduled a root cut and drain reline. The root cutting process will remove all intrusive roots, ensuring the pipe is completely clear. Once this is done, we will install a drain liner, reinforcing the pipework and preventing further root ingress or structural defects, effectively future-proofing the system.

Recently, we were called out to Shiplake Memorial Hall for a tricky drain blockage that was causing ongoing issues. On inspection, our team discovered that a water pipe had unfortunately been installed directly through a 4-inch foul wastewater pipe, causing repeated blockages as waste material couldn’t pass through effectively.  The first time, we were able to unblock the drain to get things flowing again temporarily. However, to truly solve the issue, we needed to carry out a full repair. We returned this week to carefully cut out and repair the damaged section, ensuring that the foul water pipe is fully clear of obstructions.
