Case Study: Commercial CCTV Drainage Survey in Aldershot

Aldershot, the 'Home of the British Army', features a mix of mid-century residential estates and bustling commercial districts. We were recently called out to a busy restaurant in GU11 experiencing severe, recurring backups during peak service hours. Here is how our CCTV Drainage Survey and commercial jetting saved the day.

The Problem: Restaurant Drain Backups in GU11

The restaurant manager contacted us in a panic. During their busiest Friday night service, the kitchen drains had started backing up, threatening to close the kitchen down entirely. They had tried using commercial drain unblockers, but the relief was only ever temporary. They needed a permanent solution, fast.

The Solution: Commercial CCTV Drainage Survey

Our rapid response team arrived in Aldershot within the hour. To understand exactly what we were dealing with, we immediately conducted a CCTV Drainage Survey of the main commercial line leading away from the kitchen's grease traps.

The camera feed quickly identified the core issues:

• Massive Fatberg: Despite having grease traps, years of accumulated Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG) had bypassed the system and solidified in the cooler underground pipes, creating a massive fatberg blocking 90% of the flow.
• Heavy Scale Build-up: The mid-century pipework also suffered from heavy uric scale build-up, which was catching the grease and accelerating the blockage.

The Outcome: High-Pressure Jetting & Maintenance Plan

Armed with the exact location and nature of the blockage from the CCTV survey, our engineers deployed our heavy-duty High-Pressure Water Jetting unit. We used specialist descaling and fat-cutting nozzles to completely obliterate the fatberg and strip the scale from the pipe walls, restoring the pipe to full bore capacity.

We then performed a post-clean CCTV survey to prove to the client that the line was 100% clear. To prevent this from happening again, we set the restaurant up on a Pre-Planned Maintenance (PPM) schedule for regular commercial jetting.
